Unlock the transformative power of mindfulness in parenting with Theresa Alexander Inman, a board-certified behaviour analyst and infant toddler developmental specialist. Theresa shares her inspiring journey of hosting her first in-person event, where attendees embraced vulnerability and authenticity, shedding their masks to reveal their true selves. We begin with a grounding meditation to set our intentions, highlighting the importance of creating safe spaces for genuine connections.
Discover how mindful parenting can turn challenging situations into empathy and positive interaction opportunities. Through engaging personal anecdotes, Teresa and I contrast our Caribbean upbringing's traditional discipline methods with the benefits of a mindful approach. We delve into practical strategies like "inner showers" through meditation, helping parents stay centred and respond thoughtfully rather than reactively, especially in educational settings and when dealing with behavioural issues in children.
Learn the significance of self-care routines for parents, from early morning meditations to nature walks and grounding activities. Teresa shares invaluable advice on how consistent mindfulness practices can create a supportive environment for both parent and child. Prioritizing self-regulation and kindness, we explore how parents can model positive behaviour, fostering a more peaceful and centred family dynamic. Don't miss out on Theresa's resources, including her website and podcast, "Parenting with Confidence," for further insights and support on this mindful parenting journey.
