Communication with your child - The Successful way!

 The communication with your child can be quite a challenge. To have an effective two-way communication between you and your little ones is so important, but at times can be very frustrating.

However, it has become apparent that a healthy two-way line of communication requires the same rules for both parties: the parent as well as the child.

Do you get frustrated with your child when you try and make something clear and their attention isn't entirely focussed on you and what you are saying? Their attention seems to be on something other than the conversation in hand?

 

Incorporating Mindfulness into Motherhood

Mindful Motherhood, simply put, is being present in your body, and connected with your baby even when the going gets rough. It's being aware of your experience from moment to moment, as it is happening, without pushing it away, trying to make it stay, or judging it as bad or good. It is meeting each situation as it is, and over time, more and more often, approaching whatever is happening with curiosity and compassion.

Mindful Motherhood is a way of approaching all of the experiences you'll encounter as a mom with open eyes and an open heart. Whether those experiences are internal, like thoughts, feelings, or body sensations; or external, like relationships, workplace situations, or the situations in your environment, mindful motherhood is a way of simply being with whatever is happening, no matter what it is. While it may be simple, for most of us, it's not easy.
