MINDFUL PARENTING: RAISING FREE AND EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT KIDS

What this Webinar Will Offer You:

Heal childhood traumas that may affect how you parent
Deal with your own shame and understand how we as parents unknowingly may shame our children thus diminish their self-concept
Deal with patterns of guilt in ourselves but also learn to discern them in our children
Learn to let go and deal with our own but also with our children's need to be right
Learn to distinguish red flags (signs that there is something to be addressed with our children)
Learn to encourage a growth mindset
Learn how to foster trust in ourselves an learn how to teach your children to build trust in themselves

We love our children and we want what is best for them, so sometimes we try to fix their behavior by pointing to what is wrong with them or their behavior vs. guide them and take responsibility for that we simply have not yet trained them in dealing with what they need to deal with. Say they take too long to do their homework, or they don't want to stop playing, or they say something inappropriate, or they get into a fight at school, or they eat too much junk etc, we simply have not trained them to do otherwise. If we stop pointing to and yelling them about what they did wrong and instead guide them in a loving way towards the behavior we want to teach them, we WILL finally get through to them. Our kids are our most generous audience. No one else would oblige us with a generous listening while we are telling them what to do and how to do it. But even the most generous audience will not respond well to constant wrong making. If we keep making them wrong, at some point kids will either obey us because of fear of loosing our love, or they will start to rebel. If they obey us because of fear, come teenage years, they will rebel. The key is to have them enrolled in our commitments because they understand that what we are asking them to do is coming from our love. We will only succeed in getting through to them if we talk to them from a space of connection and love. That takes training and knowing our own limitations as parents. Furthermore, even if we succeed in staying truly connected to our children throughout their childhood, do we have the training to teach them how not to take things personally? How not to loose themselves in relationships? How to build trust in themselves and be powerful with whatever might show up?

If you want to become the parent that has the training to guide your children to powerfully deal with whatever life throws at them then this course is for you and I look forward to being with you in this life altering journey.

What People say about this Course

"Brilliant, life altering course. Enjoyed every session and found such insight in Natalie's techniques and knowledge. Fantastic journey xx"

- A. M

"I have known Natalie for a long time now and so I knew without a doubt that taking part in her Mindful Parenting Webinar would be amazing. Her passion and content has already provided me with breakthroughs and a shift in my perception of parenting on a deeper level. A deeper sense of calmness and certainty has come over me when I am interacting with my beautiful daughter, who is seven. It has empowered me as a mother and also as an educator of young people. I would like to thank her for making this available to everyone."

- O. Mehmet-Radji

"My son was actually bullied in elementary school by a specific kid over and over. I was really desperate, I didn’t know how to handle it and get him to understand that it’s not his fault and he should make meanings and most probably the kid that was bullying him was the one suffering etc etc. It’s really easier to make an adult to understand and not to take bullying personal but it’s a whole other level of training to get a child to understand that!Thank you Natalie for making this happen ! I don’t know how else I could have saved my son from this very common yet detrimental situation."

- D. E

"After every Mindful Parenting session I feel full of positive energy and the power to deal with the everyday challenges of family life. Even though I have not yet participated in many sessions with Natalie, I am already noticing how this is changing me for the better. I begun to be more aware of my thoughts and how they affect me, be more aware of my emotions and my behavior and this is helping me better understand both my self and my children and thus to better communicate with them. I have more peace of mind and this affects everyone at home. Through the sessions, I am learning, together with my children, to pause, to be mindful of and be grateful for the small everyday joys of life! We thank you Natalie."

- R. N

About Natalie

Natalie Zannettou is the founder of Mindfulness for Life. She founded this organization inside her commitment for people, and particularly kids to find true freedom. It is her belief that true freedom comes from deep self-awareness and understanding of what influences our being-ness, our actions and thus the way we live our life.

"My dream is that we all understand our human design and nature and use this knowledge to build strong relationships, transcend personal limitations and raise free and emotionally mature and intelligent children. Understanding who we are, why we act the way we act, why we get angry when we do, why we are suffering and how to break free is key to our own happiness, success and peace of mind, but also to our children's happiness, success and inner peace. Loving them is not enough, knowing how to lovingly nurture a powerful self-concept will make all the difference."

How do our Webinars work?

The program we use for our webinars is Zoom. It takes two minutes to download and once it is on your computer, phone or tablet the only thing you have to do to get in the Webinar is click on the link I will be sending the day before the Webinar. The webinars run over a series of sessions. Each session is approximately an hour and a half. You will have to log in 10 min in advance so that we can begin on time. We may run a bit after the end time. Our programs require spontaneity and following the participants' needs, so if there is an important discussion I will probably choose to complete it and run overtime. After each session you can email me questions on the material we covered. We will be sending you a video recording with the answers.

In case you miss a session, I will be uploading the recording of the session on the webinar's page on the website the following day and it will be available for you to watch until the next session. It is important that you listen to the recording, go over the session's handout and listen to the questions and answers so that you can catch up with the work that you missed, prior to our next session. I will also be posting there all the relevant mindful exercises for your practice, and others that you can practice with your children. Finally, I will be posting other relevant content on our webinar's web page weekly. You will have access to that for the entire duration of the webinar and after. To support the participants and create room for discussing the work we will be doing and our breakthroughs, there will be a chat room that you can choose to participate in or not.

Free Gift

As a free gift we will send you via email a handout of each session of the Webinar so that you can revisit at any time what we covered in this course. This way if you are dealing with anything as a parent in the future you can return to the distinctions of this course and the practices we will cover and use them for the rest of your life!

Another Free Gift

You will also gain access to our online platform where all the videos of Natalie answering questions on different parenting issues are. When you participate in one of our parenting webinars you can email or post questions on the discussion forum and Natalie will post a video answering them. Many of these videos are already on the platform giving you access to valuable coaching on how to mindfully deal with different challenging parenting situations. Here are some samples of the videos that you will have access to:

FEELINGS ARE OUR COMPASS

DEALING WITH BULLYING AND NAMING

And Another Free Gift

Moreover, you will also gain access to videos and audio files of Natalie guiding you on how to practice fundamental mindfulness exercises at your own time and videos on how to introduce different mindfulness exercises to your kids. These exercises are designed to make it fun for children to practice mindfulness and to self-sooth.

Invitation
