It is the final week of the Mindful Parent Challenge!

How did week 3 go?

Are you noticing a change in your mindfulness habits after three weeks?

Here is an interesting video about being a mindful parent, which is geared more towards young kids but the key points are relevant to life in general.

A few more days until the end of our challenge, keep it going!

@Jill7cups Wow Jill loooove this video. Wonder if it works for teens/adults-lol

Finally last week-right. No I am keeping my goal for further work with my family and myself. I lost my head a few times the last few days, but that is due to stressful work days. So now I am adding to my goal. Kids too- we will call out "I need 15" this means they go to their quiet place where ever that maybe and calm themselves with mindfulness skills. This is including me-when I get home from work.. I get 15 tooheart

thanks Jillheartheart

@RumpleSteeleSkin I love that idea! We all lose it from time to time, I think it is just gonna happen. Key is to acknowledge it and move on! Glad your family is working on communicating when everyone needs some alone time, seriously a wonderful idea!

When my son and I were talking I reminded him that he needed to do his physical so he could do track and field. Now that he is 18 I am making him do more responsibilities of making his own appts.

@DanaMH that is so smart, I remember how helpless some kids were when they were freshman in college and had no idea how to do basic things because their parents never taught them.

@Jill7cups

Little Turtle is asking for wiggle wiggle so I think he is enjoying the music sessions. He seems to think of it as a time out from the real world, which is no bad thing.

The two littlest ones seem calm and like the music. We have had less sleepless nights.

@Jill7cups

My children have embraced the idea of being caught good. It was a bit of trial and error coming up with a reward system that worked. Instead of unique individual rewards we have a jar to fill. Each time they are caught they get a glass stone to put in the jar. When it's full the whole family get to do something special. The reward at the moment is taking the family to the amusement park.

I would think they would be awesome kids to get to go have that much fun.
