\u2018Life is the curriculum\u2019 - Jon Kabat-Zinn
\n
\nWhat this great teacher is telling us with these wise words is that throughout our lives we will be presented with situations that, while on their face are very challenging, are really opportunities to learn about ourselves.
\n
\nAnd of course, to practice being present, accepting, and compassionate.
\n
\nIn today\u2019s video, I tell a story about one such opportunity presented to me in an interaction with my 9-year-old son.
\n
\nThis experience gave me the opportunity to notice the automatic parenting behavior driven by implicit memory that could have become another round in the cycle of generational trauma.
\n
\nFortunately, I relied on my mindfulness training and instead created an opportunity to learn from an uncomfortable experience.
\n
\nThe end result was the opposite of the trauma it could have become.
\n
\nThe end result was compassion and healing and, ultimately, positive learning.
\n
\nToday\u2019s video is a little long because I also talk about a new course I\u2019m launching this week:
\n
\nHow to Parent with Connection So Your Kids Can Thrive (And So Can You)
\n
\nIn this course, we\u2019ll train parents in mindfulness and emotional intelligence which many psychologists believe to be vital for child development.
