R.E.A.L Parenting and Teaching: Mindful, Fact and Values Based Strategies
To parent or teach mindfully means that we commit to being aware of our own thoughts, beliefs, and actions, and parent and teach from facts; who we are, who our children are, and from our values. As a result of removing fear and fantasy from our parenting and teaching, we become more able to accurately, lovingly guide, empower, and protect our children. This workshop will offer you tools and questions so that you may mindfully, responsively, and respectfully be in the presence of children. In doing so, we change the world!
