Mindful Parenting | An Interview With Shirin Peykar
In this episode, I talk to Shirin Peykar about mindful parenting, exploring how to be more present and aware in our interactions with our children. We discuss the importance of recognizing and accepting our own emotions, rather than suppressing them, and how this models healthy emotional regulation for our kids. Key takeaways include understanding our triggers, avoiding habitual reactivity by pausing before responding, and communicating with our children in a way that respects their boundaries and individuality. This approach helps us move beyond ego-driven parenting goals towards fostering psychologically healthy, authentic adults, and offers practical applications for navigating the everyday chaos of family life.
