Finding Mindful Moments as Proactive Parents with Dr. Elizabeth Cronin

Though children are a wonderful gift, they inarguably put high demands on our time and attention. This can make it challenging to find needed moments of peace or reflection, much less continually inhabit a state of mindfulness in the way we parent. But at the same time, it is known meditation and mindfulness can be immensely helpful physically, mentally, and spiritually. So how do we begin to create space for something that will improve the quality of life for us and our children? Dr. Elizabeth Cronin (drelizabethcronin.com) has some thoughts on that. She is a clinical psychologist that blends her formal education in psychology with an ongoing education in mindfulness and meditation. She joins us today to dig into the why - and the how - of mindfulness in the midst of parenting.
