8. Why is it important for children and adolescents to practice mindfulness?

From "Instructional" to "conversational" parenting.
From "Instructional to conversational parenting" for the parent of pre-teens and teens (9 to 18yr olds)
the course is in the form of a live session spread over 5 days commencing from the 20th of May. here are the modules that I will covering:
How to talk to teenagers so they listen the first time.
I will show you how to create the space for open communication so whenever anything goes wrong in your teen's life, then instead of saying "my mom shouldn't know about this" he'd say "I need to talk to my mom about this".
Teaching Teens/pre-teens to think for themselves.
How do you prepare your teen for the real world? you won't be there forever to guide him in deciding what's right and wrong. It's not always that teens adhere to our advice let alone ask for it. I will teach you how not to force your opinions on your kids and help them harbour questioning mind. One that satisfies only with reasoning.
Tools for a safe digital online experience
Screens have found a way into our homes. Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok are the new normal. As a parent, it might give you nightmares. we talk about tackling cyberbullying, sexting, pornography, body image issues. Learn how to comfortably talk about these topics to your teens without it sounding awkward or a sex-ed class.
Setting boundaries and disciplining your teen without yelling.
With the help of case studies of other parents, find out the best ways to discipline a teen. yelling, spanking, taking their devices away will work for sure but not for long. it will only encourage them to invent newer ways of not getting caught the next time.
Raising emotionally stable, independent and happy adults.
Teens have a lot going on in their minds. Raging hormones, new body changes to adapt to, an urge to experiment, to prove themselves to their peers and parents. All of this makes them unstable. We need to teach them how to process their emotions better. we will talk about research-backed outlets to manage teen feelings like anger, sadness, jealousy, teaching them the true meaning of happiness and more.
