Children & Mindfulness

How often do you find yourself becoming more aware of what happened yesterday and what will happen tomorrow? Why are not focused on what's happening now? What prevents you from enjoying the moment and can be changed using the powerful techniques of care. This article explains the concept of care and how it can help in their daily lives with their children. Attention is to be aware at the time. One thing all parents can benefit at times. Not only for themselves but also for children. Why children wake up each morning with a desire for immediate pleasure to place and began the day? Because I do not think they will do today and do not care what happened yesterday was. Only have an appetite for life.

What is attention? Awareness is a tradition that has its roots in Buddhism and can be traced back several thousand years ago. In all its simplicity, it means that the time to know exactly when life happens. Life is not the case yesterday and tomorrow - takes place today. This way of thinking that it is extremely important and useful, when we spend time with our children. They are the first to feel and suffer, if our mind is not present when we spend time together.

The ability to be aware at the time when we have our kids doing time more fun for children and parents. Especially when the new parent company, this is difficult to always be present because we are constantly bombarded with things you could do better than the new parents. We are told to do things one way or the other way, and often have difficulty in doing things the way we are taught - but to listen to our feelings.

Application of knowledge in your life? We're all trying to be very stressful in the morning, when children are ready to go home, but everything goes wrong foot. You are in the midst of a balance that could easily end up with stress and frustration. You have to get ready, the kids ready, packed up and out of the house in time for school and work. One child spills milk and the other does not want to wear. The clock is ticking.

To stress and upset, children crying and shouting, and finally feel like giving up. So far, everything is stressed and grumpy - and late! It's your fault or the children? Who creates frustration? Have you tried to do too many things at once? Do not worry - it happens to us all. In such circumstances, attention can be very helpful. Here's what he said off all you want to do and end up making half of it, that causes frustration.

It is about creating discussion. If you concentrate on one thing at the moment instead of focusing on what is the next step, you'll be able to do things better and faster when you put your full energy into what you do. If you constantly think about what you do afterwards, so you will not be able to succeed in what you are doing now. Mindfulness in relation to children is to see the gestures and words, and focusing on the needs, intentions and their challenges in life.

We must also consider the current situation and understand what is the cause. Ask yourself the following question, what emotions are exposed and how do I cope? What I feel right now, and what is my child trying to express? I'm not paying attention or not my child feel misunderstood? I have an automatic reply because I think I'm used to a certain pattern of behavior? It feels like everything is on replay?

Awareness may be a great gift for the whole family. It's about being yourself, being aware of those now and listening to your intuition rather than remembering the advice from books, magazines and parents. Being a parent is one of the most demanding and stressful job, you can get, and if you have a second on top of it so well, then you have a difficult task. Mindfulness can teach you to keep your concentration and help you better manage difficult times in your life.
