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.
