Mindful Parenting: Finding Space to Be - In a World of to Do

By Susan Bogels

Sometimes being a parent can seem like one long to-do list: taking the kids to and from school and clubs, arranging babysitters, feeding them and putting them to bed. Parents can feel trapped in a straitjacket of routine tasks, all of which prevent them spending quality time with their children. Professor Susan B gels has been delivering training on this subject for over twenty years. Now, for the first time, she shares her expertise - and her experiences as both a parent and child - with a general audience.

Mindful Parenting is an inspirational guide for busy parents who want to better understand the automatic ways in which they can react to stressful situations, and move from instinctive to more mindful responses. In a series of accessible chapters, Professor B gels show how we can all find a balance between 'doing' and 'being' modes when interacting with our children. She also explains how to deal with stress, conflict, and guilt, and how to cultivate conscious, unbiased attention in a simple way.

Together, the chapters can be approached as an 11-week course in mindful parenting, supported by easy-to-learn exercises and guided audio meditations.
