Mindfulness adds richness to parenting.
Slowing the world down for short periods while you place focused attention on your child (their expressions, what they are interested in, how they respond to various things you do and say . . . ) allows you to connect not only to him or her but also to yourself. In this place of awareness, meaning––of life, parenthood, childhood, love, compassion, empathy––is able to step up and support you and your child not only for those moments but along the path you travel together, smoothing the stones and enhancing the scenery. Enjoy! Smile! Play! Live as if no one––other than your child–– is looking!
