As parents, we sometimes find ourselves overcome by emotions like worry and frustration, anxiety and anger. Mindfulness — the practice of being in the present moment with an open and curious attention — can help us work with these emotions in a way that leaves us and our children feeling better. We can use basic mindfulness practices to find some ease and balance amidst the challenges of parenting.
