Mindfulness is a term used to describe a way
of striving to be more aware and present in
our day to day lives. We live such hectic lives
that being mindful helps us to slow down and
absorb the moments in a deeper way than we
normally might.Applying mindfulness to parenting
can bring many benefits to the parent/child relationship.
At Information Children workshops we talk
a lot about temperament. Understanding more about
who your child is and how they react to the world around

parent.
