Mindful Parenting Practices for Feeding Kids
Developing skills of healthy eating is one of the most important things we can teach our kids, but the day-to-day challenges of feeding a family can feel overwhelming. This interactive session provides simple strategies to help everyone feel less fed up at your family table. We’ll discuss ways to engage kids with new foods, handle food rejection and improve mealtime dynamics. Parents, guardians, grandparents, and caretakers are invited to attend this Zoom-based program featuring practical guidance to nurture a lifetime of healthy eating. There will be a Q&A at the end.

CIMC’s Parents Sangha provides an opportunity for parents of children of all ages to practice together and build community. Bringing mindful attention to our skills as parents can increase our capacity to form strong bonds with all the members of our family. The practice of mindfulness cultivates conditions of openness and receptivity, in which communication and emotional connection naturally flourish.
Parenting is both a joyful and a challenging endeavor. In this group, we seek to view our experiences through the lens of Dharma. We will learn how to regulate our nervous systems, and model mindfulness for our families, so that we are able to navigate the inevitable waves of joy and frustration that accompany every parent’s experience with a greater sense of ease.
