"In this training video, Jon and Myla Kabat-Zinn discuss how the concepts and practice of mindfulness can be applied to parenting. Mindfulness is paying attention purposefully and without judgment to the present moment; mindful parenting is about bringing that quality of awareness to relationships with children of all ages. Guiding a live studio audience in an exploration of the fundamentals of mindful parenting, the Kabat-Zinns share how parents can practice and apply mindfulness for their own well-being and to enhance their relationships with their children. Conveniently organized segments, exercises, and slides make it easy to use for parent education classes and workshops. You will understand how to practice mindfulness and how it is relevant to parenting; identify the nine steps parents can use for responding rather than reacting in difficult situations; and explain how to create a space in the home that reflects the family's values. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
