Earlier in my life, I never enjoyed cooking very much. At that time, I’d not yet embraced mindfulness. I didn’t know how to do it. I was so focused on following a recipe and the pressure of preparing a meal that I lost track of the best part--being creative with food and enjoying eating it!
Learn how to take a difficult conversation and turn it into a collaborative brainstorming session by planning ahead and being curious about the other's point of view. Effective, kind, and empathetic communication is critical in working with kids and improving our overall mental health as caregivers.
I love this story about how one elementary school is seeing positive results from their mindfulness practices. And I especially love that NPR sees this as newsworthy--thank you NPR!!
