This book, originally published in 1997, was revised and updated in 2014. It makes the practice of mindful parenting as accessible and commonsensical as possible to parents, who inevitably find themselves in a vast landscape of varying conditions and resources. Mindful parenting is not a prescription for how to parent, but an invitation to listen deeply to and trust your own instincts so you can parent with greater awareness and balance. Over the years, we have heard from many parents that Everyday Blessings became the foundation for their approach to parenting. And indeed, mindful parenting has become its own field within psychology and behavioral health, supported by a growing scientific literature. There has never been a better time or more support for cultivating greater mindfulness in our lives as parents, and allowing it to embrace and nurture our children, our families, and ourselves.
