Journaling: Secret to Student Success
Learn about all the potential benefits mindful journaling offers to students. Parents looking to make the most of their child’s educational experience may want to encourage the use of the mindfulness tool, journaling. Some of the benefits of journaling include reduction of anxiety, improved grades, students becoming more invested in studies, and journaling ultimately helps them decide how to attain a career path.
Mindful Organization
Keep organized with these mindfulness tools during the back-to-school season. With the resumption of hectic schedules, continuing to stay mindful — and organized — might feel like a hassle. But there are simple mindfulness-oriented organizational strategies parents can rely on to make their day-to-day routines less frantic. If you find yourself struggling to stay peaceful and organized lately, consider the following tools to improve your everyday life and regain a sense of inner calm.
Mindful Dads
Being present and practicing mindfulness with children is easier said than done. While new mothers are traditionally expected to be mindful, fathers are often understudied and overlooked when it comes to the relationships they form and nurture.
While there is little research that specifically assesses the impact of mindfulness on father-child relationships, a multitude of twin-parent studies show that there are immensely beneficial aspects of open communication between fathers and their children.
