These challenges multiply—and the quality of parenting suffers—when a parent or child has mental health issues, or when parents are in conflict. Even under optimal circumstances, the constant changes as children develop can tax parents' inner resources, often undoing the best intentions and parenting courses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMindful Parenting: A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners\u003c\/i\u003e offers an evidence-based, eight week structured mindfulness training program for parents with lasting benefits for parents and their children. Designed for use in mental health contexts, its methods are effective whether parents or children have behavioral or emotional issues. The program's eight sessions focus on mindfulness-oriented skills for parents, such as responding to (as opposed to reacting to) parenting stress, handling conflict with children or partners, fostering empathy, and setting limits. The book dovetails with other clinical mindfulness approaches, and is written clearly and accessibly so that professionals can learn the material easily and impart it to clients. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatured in the text:  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed theoretical, clinical, and empirical foundations of the program.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe complete Mindful Parenting manual with guidelines for eight sessions and a follow-up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandouts and assignments for each session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFindings from clinical trials of the Mindful Parenting program.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerspectives from parents who have finished the course. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts clinical focus and empirical support make \u003ci\u003eMindful Parenting \u003c\/i\u003ean invaluable tool for practitioners and clinicians in child, school, and family psychology, psychotherapy\/counseling, psychiatry, social work, and developmental psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-09-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461474050\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-7406-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 328\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47401229648012,"sku":"9781461474050","price":134.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461474050.jpg?v=1775790236","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461474050","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
