5-Minute Mindfulness: Parenting

Take the time truly connect with the ones you love.

Each and every day we do things that, though potentially rewarding, are too easily taken for granted or performed on auto-pilot. 5-Minute Mindfulness: Parenting is designed to help you take a mindful approach to these commonplance experiences and activities, making them more enjoyable, fulfilling, and relaxing.

Too often we focus on simply getting through the day, and in doing so fail to truly connect with the precious thing in everyone's life: family. 5-Minute Mindfulness: Parenting explores the ways in which the time we spend with our children can be calmer and more fulfilling. The enlightening essays and simple exercises in this book will help you to communicate more effectively, make your relationships more harmonious, and ensure that the time you spend together is rewarding for you, your partner, and your children. These books work in harmony with the fast pace of modern life.
