Being mindful helps you stay calm!

STOP, PAUSE, PLAY!
This will help you calm down and enable you to think and act more clearly.

Stop: Stop what you are doing.
Pause: Focus on your breath.
Pause: Breathe slowly and exhale completely.
Pause: Take five slow breaths.
Play: Respond to your child the way you want to.

Being mindful takes practice

To be the parent you want to be for your children takes
Courage, persistence, self-awareness; Respond rather than react; Allow yourself and your child to make mistakes

Remember you are both doing the best you can.
