If you have ever found yourself reacting more harshly than necessary when dealing with your child only to feel remorseful later on, you are not alone. Mindful parenting is a parenting strategy that focuses on stopping a negative interaction in its tracks before it occurs and reframing the interaction in a more balanced manner.

Mindful parenting helps us model healthier emotional reactions and shows our children a more positive and helpful way of managing their emotions, as well.
