Our Conscious Parenting Group is open to Dharma Primary School parents and also to interested parents in the local community. We discuss practical approaches to parenting that reflect the school’s ethos of mindfulness.
The group meets approximately once a month on a Thursday, at 7.15pm. For further details please email [email protected] and/or join our Facebook Group.
Through sharing personal experiences, discussion, and thought provoking articles, with openness and honesty, we are:
- Exploring how to parent with more love, kindness, compassion and empathy, whilst also understanding how to set limits and to be productive.
- Learning to understand and manage anger and other negative emotions in both ourselves and our children.
- Finding ways to nourish our children, without creating a sense of entitlement.
- Discovering how to nurture independence and resilience in our children, so they can lead fulfilling lives.
- Supporting our children to discover and accept their true selves; to be creative , expressive, and free, and to develop a high degree of emotional intelligence that helps them thrive in all areas of life.
- Creating awareness of our needs as parents and how to look after ourselves so we can be the parents we want to be!
We are all on a learning journey and our group is a safe space to share your successes and challenges with like-minded parents.
