Mindfulness, being aware of an experience without judgment, is a tool practiced in business but it can be used in parenting. A good parenting mindfulness tool goes by the easy name ABC. A for affect, how you are feeling. B for Body, how your body is reacting to a situation and C is for cognition and your thoughts on the situation. Using this tool can help you cope with any stressful parenting situation.

Key Takeaways:

• Mindfulness is paying attention to what is happening for you in this moment.
• Mindfulness can be applied to everything, and is an invaluable tool for parents.
• Trying to use a mindfulness tool called “the ABC’s” when you feel overwhelmed.

“Mindfulness is simply being aware of an experience without judgment.”
