Why is parenting stressful?
Parenting is stressful because of the enormous resources required to raise a baby to maturity. It demands time, energy and responsibilities such as financial provision and child safety. The child’s emotional development requires substantial emotional effort as there is a constant need to handle the child's tantrums and misbehaviours. Parents are also faced with modern pressures such as the complexity of social media, managing uncertainty about the future, and a growing problem with parental isolation.

How can mindfulness help?
Acknowledging, creative responding than reacting and self-kindness

Acknowledging:
Awareness and acceptance of parental stress.
Exploration of these questions:
How can I support myself? versus what’s wrong with me?
What do I need? versus why can’t I cope with this?

Creative Responding than Reacting
Slowing things down, stepping back, and observing your own reactions. This can give you the perspective to effectively reduce stress around things like the morning routine, homework and other situations.
Exploration of this question:
What is kinder and discerned way of approaching my child’s behaviour versus why did I lose it again and shout at him/her?

Self-kindness:
Exploration of this question:
How can I be my own best friend to support myself and my child? versus why am I such a bad parent?

What exactly is mindful parenting?
Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn defines mindfulness as the awareness that comes from ‘paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally.’ Unsurprisingly, mindful parenting takes those principles and applies them to how you parent.

How can I be a mindful parent?
The basic principles of mindful parenting are:

listening to your child with your full attention
non-judgementally accepting yourself and your child
being emotionally aware of yourself and your child
using self-regulation in your relationship with your child
having compassion for yourself and your child.
