InStill Mindfulness presents the program "Mindful Parenting: Listening to Your Child with Your Full Attention" on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at the Dublin Library.
Parenting isn’t easy. Babies aren’t born with an instruction manual, and there are so many conflicting ideas of what it means to be a good parent. Add to this the many stressors of parenthood—finances, relationships, work-life balance, and so much more—and it is no wonder we make mistakes.
A mindful approach to parenting will not make the stressors go away, but it will give you better tools to deal with them, and help you parent more effectively than you already do.
Each month we host a different class in partnership with the Pulaski County Library System with a different teacher to expose you to a broad range of approaches that help make parenting more easeful, joyful, and skillful.
Childcare, snacks and drinks will be available in the library, to give you the space you need to enjoy and get the most out of each offering.
These classes are freely offered, and donations are gratefully accepted.
In this session, we will present some ways to approach checking in with each other, practicing mindfulness together in daily routines and strategies for being emotionally aware of yourself and your child.
The first half of the session will be for adult discussion while the children listen to stories and make crafts with the children’s librarian, and then the children will be invited in to join you for some exercises.
