Mindful Parenting

I am launching this website Mindful Parenting, to offer guidance and support to parents who may be struggling with daily questions on how to interact with their child or children, who have their unique strengths and weaknesses, just like we adults do. I will help the families, who visit this website to move cohesively towards the common goals established by them. I will share anecdotes and strategies which worked for parents who had enrolled their children in the Early Childhood programs I worked .I will suggest books for parents that are a great resource to strengthen your understanding of what your child needs at different ages and stages of their lives and how to set reasonable expectations from your child and also pay mindful attention to your own thresholds, of patience and other skills needed to raise your child.

I will also suggest books you want to read to your child and how to select play materials( toys) which are developmentally appropriate, so your child can learn and thrive in the right direction and develop life navigation skills . Isn’t that more important than anything else?
Anyone can become a mother or a father but to become a parent is a different game.Parenting is no easy task but when we are fully aware, mindful and present in the moment we are able to have more clarity in our interactions with our children .Contrary to a stressed and worried mind, a calm and present mind chooses words that are more meaningful to a child, there is less friction in the family dynamics .

Research on Early Childhood is telling us without a doubt “ that what matters most is a child’s early environment.” Paediatric Neuroscience tells us that in the first three years a child is constantly and rapidly learning. Therefore we must provide an enriching and loving environment, and be like a scaffold to our children. If you think about it there is no “ teaching” so to speak but “learning” taking place in these first formative years.

We all have needs which must be met to function properly with grace, joy and happiness. It is very important to understand that a child’s needs are greater than ours and if we practice mindful parenting then we will not get frustrated easily with our child.

Please visit and drop in your questions and I will reply as best as I know. This I know for sure that mindfulness can help “ tame fears” and that happiness is all around us all the time, and to find it we need to look at things with a different set of lenses. My website will help you stay more centered and help you not to derail your day with worry and stress. We parents need to enjoy our children and that is what I intend to help you do.
