Anxiety and other stress-related symptoms in children and their parents are presenting in rapidly escalating proportions, highlighting the need for the cultivation of qualities of resilience in order for families to thrive in our rapidly changing, increasingly demanding, and faster moving society. Mindful parenting enriches the parent/child relationship, fosters resilience in children and their parents, and appears to prevent the intergenerational transmission of dysfunctional patterns of relating and functioning. This workshop will describe a multi-dimensional model of therapeutic intervention in which mindful parenting practices are taught in individual, family and/or group therapy through direct practice experience, conceptual teaching, and within a therapeutic relationship that embodies mindful interaction. Participants will gain an understanding of clinical implications, and practical applications of teaching mindful parenting thorough a literature review, case presentations, practice exercises, and discussion.
