Mindful parenting involves keeping in mind what is truly important as we go about the activities of daily living with our children. With this comes the awareness that parents’ lives are undeniably deeply connected with the children. Children’s well-being affects parents’, and vice versa. If kids are not doing well, parents suffer, and parents we are not doing well, kids suffer.

Mindful parenting takes to heart the deep truth that parents can only give to the children what they have given first and fundamentally to themselves. Thus, parents must begin first with themselves, experiencing more and more kindness, compassion and self-acceptance towards one’s own self. As a result, this begins to naturally flow to the children, more and more.

In this video episode of MOMSPRESSO, Dr. Shelja Sen, Child Psychologist and Author of All You Need Is Love: The Art Of Mindful Parenting, shares ‘Tips for Mindful Parenting’. She stresses upon the belief that parenting is not just about children, it is about our growing up and becoming more sensitive, conscious and mindful human beings.
