In this recorded virtual event, learn how mindfulness supports healthy adult-child relationships and what research has taught us about mindful parenting and teaching.
In recent years, mindfulness seems to be everywhere—from parenting blogs to doctor recommendations, wellness retreats to elementary school classrooms. There is ample reason for this enthusiasm. Mindfulness has been used with adults to reduce stress, bolster overall health and psychological functioning, and assist a return to wellness following adversity. It makes sense to explore how these results apply to adults in parenting and caregiving roles.
In this virtual event, learn how mindfulness supports healthy adult-child relationships and what research has taught us about mindful parenting and teaching. The presenters share results of recent focus groups and a ZERO TO THREE member survey about ways mindfulness-based approaches are being used across early childhood disciplines. As you learn about mindfulness in early childhood, consider how you might integrate or enhance these practices in your own work and life.
