  • Mindful Parenting & Teaching Training

    Mindfulness is not about right or wrong. But is about conscious, non-judgmental attention. Open benevolent attention to feelings, thoughts and the habit of governing them in a certain way. Learning to recognize patterns of both children and yourself and eventually to be able to change them. From within, rather than from without. This changes expectations, the way of communicating with each other, the care for each other and the freedom to be allowed to be autonomous.

Contents Mindful Parenting & Teaching Training

The training consists of 8 weekly 2.5-hour online meetings. We ask you to do your "homework" daily during the training. This homework is in the form of meditation, daily reflection on stressful moments and your reactions to them. Practicing being more consciously present with what you are doing while you are doing it, thinking it or feeling it is an important element. Using audio files and handouts, you practice your mind becoming clear, stable and resilient. Milder towards yourself and others and less reactive in communication.
