Mindful Parenting Workshop

Event Details

The Willow Center is proud to present the Mindful Parenting Workshop, a 2.5-hour workshop focusing on using mindfulness techniques to increase parenting confidence, reduce stress and nurture positive parent-child relations. Discuss how to be more present for your children and become a more effective parent.

Workshop topics:

  • Understanding Mindfulness and how to apply it to everyday parenting
  • Understanding your own parenting style
  • Identifying the link between parents’ own emotional stress and their child’s displays of stress (examples: sleep, eating issues and behaviour)
  • Reducing emotional stress in parents and children through mindfulness exercise techniques
  • Facilitating connections with others in the parenting community
  • Teaching parents how to guide their children to better regulate their emotions, respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically and to improve their own relationships with parents, siblings, and peers

The group will be facilitated by Willow Centre psychologists and psychotherapists, parents themselves, who have specialized training and expertise in child development, parent-child relationships and the emotional well-being of parents and their babies.

The fee is $65 per person or $100 for couples. Register online or by phone at 416-250-1540. Space is limited.
