What Dr. Loper could say on
Mindful Parenting:
- Put simply, mindfulness is being fully present where your feet are on the ground. Instead of perseverating on the past, or worrying about the future, mindfulness is an active practice of being fully present with one’s thoughts and feelings at the moment.
- Mindful parenting is the practice of supporting and responding to your child instead of dictating and reacting to emotions. It’s about acceptance of the “here and now,” without judgment and as it comes, instead of trying to alter or escape from it.
