Shauna Shapiro: Mindful Discipline

Raising happy, compassionate, and responsible children requires both love and limits. Based on her new book, Mindful Discipline, Dr. Shauna Shapiro weaves together ancient wisdom and modern science to provide new perspectives on parenting and discipline. Grounded in mindfulness and neuroscience, this workshop redefines discipline and outlines the five essential elements necessary for children to thrive: unconditional love, space for children to be themselves, mentorship, healthy boundaries, and mis-takes that create learning and growth opportunities. Discover parenting practices such as setting limits with love, working with difficult emotions, and mindfulness and compassion meditations that place discipline within a context of mindfulness. This relationship-centered approach will restore your confidence as a parent and support your children in developing emotional intelligence, self-discipline, and resilience—qualities they need for living an authentic and meaningful life.
