Parenting Resources - Australia

Parenting is one of the most important things a person can do - it is natural therefore to seek out ways to expand one's skills. Mindfulness Centre offers tools for building positive adult – child relationships that nourish you and your family.

Come to one of our courses to discover how living ‘mindfully’ in the present moment assists you to be the parent you want to be, and deepens your relationship with yourself, others and your children. We have four courses particularly relevant to parenting:

Introduction to Mindful Parenting ½ day: Learn the principles of mindfulness, how to disengage productively from conflict, how to set boundaries lovingly and several simple meditations for a clearer mind.

Mindfulness-based Parenting Program 8 week course: Learn how to free yourself from being stuck in fear, guilt and unhelpful expectations and fine tune skills in disengaging from conflict, listening and enjoying parenting.

Mindful Awareness Parenting 5 day Instructor Training The MAP™ Instructor Training is for multidisciplinary health professionals who work with families and young children (from birth to 5 years). The goal of the program is to promote parental sensitivity and secure attachment relationships by teaching mindfulness and self-compassion skills to parents.

Mindful Relationships 1 day course: For family, work and personal relationships – learn about the five underlying principles of relationships and how to transform what drains you into what nourishes you.

Transform your Stress and Overwhelm 8 week course: Learn well researched, powerful tools for lowering your stress and increasing your energy and enthusiasm for your life and relationships.
