A mindful approach to parenting that helps children (and
their parents) feel happier, healthier, calmer, and less
stressed in our frenetic era
Rooted in the science of
the brain, and integrating cognitive neuroscience and child
development, Mindful Parenting is a unique program
that speaks directly to today's busy families who make up
what Dr. Race calls "Generation Stress." Research has
shown that mindfulness practices stimulate the prefrontal
cortex of the brain. Regular stimulation of this part of the
brain helps us feel happier, healthier, calmer, less
anxious, less stressed, and makes it easier for us to
concentrate and think clearly—the very behavior we are
hoping our children will display. Dr. Race provides:
-
An explanation of the way the brain works and why parents
and kids today are more stressed, anxious, and angry than
ever before
-
Practical solutions to the problem: Things parents can do to
change brain patterns and create a more relaxed and happier home
-
"Brain Coolers": Quick tips that can be used in the
moment to help families relax, recharge, and create
happiness (such as "The Three Breath Hug")
Mindful Parenting understands the realities of
raising a family in our fast paced and often-frenetic world
and provides hundreds of easy-to-implement solutions, both
for parents and their children, to help them manage stress,
create peace, and live happier lives.
