Mindful Parenting is a contemplative practice through which we become more mindful of our children and, in doing so, experience a more joyful life.
The Mindful Parent is an organization
devoted to sharing with parents and other child caregivers ways in
which to enhance the many joys of parenting. By mindfully attending
to our children, both when we are physically present with them and
when we are physically separated from them, we can enhance our sense
of connection to them and, in turn, our connection to the cosmos.
This makes us a better parent, a happier person, and a more vital
human being.
To facilitate a more mindful approach to parenting,
The Mindful Parent publishes on its website, and in its bi-weekly
newsletter,
mindful parenting
verses and commentaries. The Mindful
Parent website also serves as a community forum that encourages and
supports a mindful parenting dialogue and the sharing of mindful parenting
experiences.
In the spirit of developing a mindful parenting
community, we encourage you to
submit a mindful parenting
experience through verse, commentary, and imagery to share with others.
We believe that through our collective experience, we can help
each other develop a deeper and more meaningful mindful
parenting practice.

The Daily Sip:
In Appreciation For Your Readership In 2004
As
We Journey Together Into 2005
As 2004 comes to an end,
I wanted to thank readers of "The Morning Cup"for joining me in
the practice of mindful parenting. Your eyeballs, energy, and
occasional comments, have added greatly to my practice for which I
am very grateful.
While the world continues to evolve in mysterious
ways, and we witness both beautiful events and tragedies, the
depth of our connection to our children and our movement toward living
in the present moment will forever offer us the opportunity
for peace and bliss. It has been this way for billions of years.
Breathe
deeply and smile knowing the journey continues.
All
the best for 2005.
Scott Rogers
