Parenting is a constantly challenging, ongoing journey. Mindful parenting is about paying attention — to your children and yourself — without judgment. What truly matters is connecting in meaningful ways, staying grounded and present amid the craziness of parenting. With compassion and assurance, Carla Naumburg reminds us we have everything we need to raise healthy, happy children.

Naumburg, MSW, Ph.D. is, most importantly, a mother. She is the mindful parenting blogger for PsychCentral.com. Her writings appear in numerous academic and lay publications and online magazines.
