This practical guide will help you to:

*cultivate compassion for yourself as a parent or caregiver through meditations and breathing practices
*encourage serenity, self-confidence, and emotional regulation in your children, through stories and activities
*strengthen your bond with your kids and help all of you manage stress
*be more fully present with your children, and more able to give them your undivided attention
*embrace imperfection and focus on the things that really matter
*and more
The book and the accompanying audio include activities, practices, and stories for both you and for your toddler that cultivate mindful moments and action, and self-compassion.
