Mindful Parenting Class starting soon. Do ever lose it with your kids and then feel guilty and surprised at how your emotions got the best of you? You are not alone. Come join a 4-part Mindful Parenting series that will help you understand how to become more aware of your own and your children’s internal states.
As a result, you will identify ways to respond in more “mindful” ways that bring about connection, clarity, and mutual understanding in your family. You will get to think about real-life situations, practice new ways of thinking and responding, and assess your responses during our classes so that you walk away more confident, competent and mindful as a parent and person. This class is appropriate for parents of children of any age and will be tailored to the group who joins. Session Fee: $109.00. The fall session sold out, so sign up quickly!
