Real quotes from real parents

Being present is a habit that we all can cultivate, it's a capacity and quality within us that each one of us can cultivate. That presence comes from knowing how to sit in a quiet and really turn to that inner voice. What does this present feels like? Join us every Monday night at 8:00 pm PST in the practice of present in the Mindfulness Meditation Monday.

Set the guidelines of social visits clearly and kindly — with your teen/tween children. Consider their input. When we involve our child in our decision-making process especially in these trying times, they will feel empowered that we give them 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺.

Given the sudden and dramatic shifts in our everyday lives that the world has recently experienced due to the pandemic, it is not surprising for parents to question themselves, whether or not they're doing their part as parents, and providing enough for their children – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. A lot of us may feel anxious, stressed, or worried – but you need not to worry, you are not alone; we are on this together.

Comment down below your personal opinion/answer about this parent question.

Join me on the 4th of August, Tuesday from 5:00 pm-6:30 pm PST, I will be doing a Webinar on Pandemic Parenting Essentials. We'll discuss hand on hand how to remain resilient and steadfast as parents amidst the situation we're facing right now, as well figuring out ways to live your life with this "new normal".

When a parent testimonial comes from a Mindful Mama and a wisdom teacher, you know the tools have been tried and tested thoroughly! Thank you for your heartfelt share and support Tejal V. Patel (Author of Meditation for Kids) ! You’re the best 💕

In her own words:
“My biggest shift was that it is OK to have conflict and disagreements with your child, it is not a sign that you’re a bad parent or a failure...!”

“... these tools are heartfelt and practical and can be applied in the heat of the moment...”
