  • Mindful Parenting in 5 simple steps in English
    Before I talk about Mindful Parenting, let us first understand what is Mindfulness and what is Parenting?
    Mindfulness is being aware, being conscious and being in the present moment.
    Parenting is bringing up a child/children from infancy to adulthood by supporting their physical, emotional, social and intellectual development.
    So, MINDFUL PARENTING is a combination of bringing up a child with full awareness about your own self as a parent, about being conscious about your child and being in the present moment of who you are and who your child is.
    It may sound complicated but it is simple if you understand Mindfulness and Parenting separately and then put them together.
    As parents, we usually tend to follow our parent's way of parenting to our children or being inspired by other parents or friends or neighbours. However we forget each human being is different!
    According to me, we can follow 5 simple steps to start being a Mindful Parent:
          The 1st step is to create a mindset with a simple mantra:
                      "I'm different and my child is different"
          The 2nd step is to accept your child as he/she is now.
          The 3rd step is to partnering with your child than parenting.
           (I will write about "Partnering with Child" in another blog)
          The 4th step is emotionally connect with your child using "Touch & Connect" therapy and frequent appreciation.
           (I will write about "Touch & Connect" therapy in another blog)
    and
           The 5th step is to rephrase the sentence from dictating to consulting/requesting.
    Example:
    Dictating Sentence: I want you to clean up the mess right now!
    Consulting/Requesting/Partnering Sentence:
    Can you help me clean up the mess? /
    Can you please clean up the mess for me? /
    Wow, you have done a wonderful job(Appreciate). Now, could you please help mummy/daddy in cleaning this up. Let's see who does it fast (Then request).

  • Follow "Partnering than Parenting" concept

    So, if you want your child to be raised as a Mindful Child by being a Mindful Parent, you will have to Partner with your Child - which means you will have to share equal responsibilities of your child and work together.

  • "Touch and Connect" for a healthy Parent-Child Bonding

    Is your child adamant?

    Is your child not under your control?

    Is your child not eating properly?

    Is your child addicted to mobile devices?

    Is your child always playful, not willing to sit & study in one place?

    Is your child aggressive most of the time?

    Then your child might be undergoing sensory(touch) deprivation – the lack of positive parental touch in their early childhood.

    Try “Touch and Connect” therapy that I learnt and I follow.

    Let me brief you about it…
