Review Quotes

"I was pleasantly surprised to realize this book was written FOR THE PARENT to learn mindfulness! The simple, quick exercises in this book are exactly what parents need to make sure they are in a calm, centered state of mind when handling situations that come up while parenting toddlers. It has everything you need--history and benefits of mindfulness, short and specific doable practices--from the voice of a parent for parents." --Dr. Mae Casanova, licensed clinical psychologist

"In this down-to-earth book, Stacy Spensley offers parents a variety of practical strategies for managing our own emotions so that we can better co-regulate our child(ren). Often, parenting books say we should react calmly as parents without saying how; this book presents many options of how we can slow down, be mindful, and connect with our children, even when we feel overwhelmed." --Laura Wilhoit, PhD, clinical psychologist, and CEO of Realize Psychotherapy Co.
