With most of our lives feeling
chaotic and our minds constantly in a frenzy, staying connected
with our children or ourselves can be difficult. When anxiety and
stress hijack parents, they may be reactive with their children,
which sets the stage for dysregulation in kiddos. What’s exciting
is that in today’s episode, we will discuss how mindfulness can
reduce our reactivity to our children and simply make us better,
more grounded parents. Diana unearths some of the science that
demonstrates how effective this tool is for both our physical and
emotional health and dives into some simple mindfulness tools to
get parents started that are simple and manageable.
Diana Winston is the Director of UCLA Mindful, the Mindfulness
Centre at UCLA Health. The LA Times calls her “one of the nation’s
best-known teachers of mindfulness.” A former Buddhist nun, mother
of a preteen, and Los Angeles resident, she is an author and
teacher, she has taught mindfulness for health and well-being since
1983 in the medical and mental health fields and universities,
businesses, nonprofits, and schools. She is the author of Fully
Present, The Little Book of Being, and A Buddhist Guide for
Teens.
