About this item

Simple mindfulness practices for parents of teenagers to help you stay present, positive, and open-hearted with your child during their teenage years. Includes an audio download of guided exercises.Parenting a teenager can be extremely challenging as we struggle to stay balanced and supportive of our child's ups and downs, granting them increased freedom while still maintaining necessary limits. Mindfulness meditation - which emphasizes the quality of attention that combines full awareness with acceptance of each moment, just as it is - is a practice that is uniquely well-suited to helping us strengthen our parenting skills during this this time. This practice - which has gained broad acceptance among family therapists and other mental health professionals, and in schools, for stress and anxiety reduction and behavior modification - helps us to stay calm in tense moments and be less reactive with our children.
