ABOUT THE COURSE
Parenting can be tough even at the best of times. But when life is stressful or volatile, it can be particularly difficult to model compassion and buoyancy for children the way we’d like. Resilient Parenting is a crash course in mindfulness-based techniques—reinforced by research from psychology and neuroscience—designed to give parents, therapists, and educators the tools they need to tap into their greatest potential.
Inspired by and structured around the Buddhist teachings on the ten paramis (perfections of the heart)—generosity, ethics, renunciation, wisdom, energy, patience, honesty, determination, kindness, and equanimity—Resilient Parenting offers simple exercises to use with children to model the paramis and practical strategies to help you reset your presence in difficult situations. Whether you are a Buddhist practitioner or not, this course will help you use mindfulness to communicate and respond most effectively and compassionately to the children in your life.
The course is led by Christopher Willard, PsyD, a psychotherapist and author who has been a leader in using applied mindfulness with children, parents, and educators. He explores the neuroscience behind the paramis, showing how our brains adapt and grow when we work with intention around these ten basic values. Willard also shares how attachment and security affects how children will display these ingrained values, and how parents can reinforce these connections with their children.
How can I be present for my family without becoming overwhelmed?
How can I be a positive example for my children?
How can I share mindfulness with my loved ones?
How can I find the time to study and train when I have so little?
