You casually ask your teen to help out with a quick chore—like folding the laundry. Instead of jumping up like a superhero, they barely glance away from their phone, scrolling through social media apps like it’s a matter of life and death. Seriously? It’s enough to make any mom roll her eyes! You can’t help but feel that mix of

Parenting today can feel overwhelming with endless to-do lists and constant digital distractions. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget to connect with the ones who matter most: your kids. Mindful parenting might sound like a fancy term, but it’s really about being present and connected in your daily interactions. You can’t be a perfect parent
As we go through our day-to-day lives, we don’t often think about the impact of our family’s behavior on how we act today. The truth is, our family behavior patterns often dictate how we navigate through our lives. We learn from our family—mostly our parents—how to parent and manage stress.
