Parenting with Peace and Presence: Ten Powerful Practices to Help You Manage the Challenges and Cherish the Joys of Pare, (Hardcover)

"Parenting continually asks us for more: more stamina, more patience, more wisdom."

In Parenting with Peace and Presence, long-time yoga practitioner Nicole St. Arnaud offers practical, supportive skills to help parents manage the challenges of parenting with ease and grace.

As a parent who is also experiencing the disabling symptoms of Juvenile Parkinson's disease, Nicole had to find additional resources to supplement her strength and stamina. In this book, she describes the ten powerful practices that enabled her to manage the challenges and be present for the gifts of the early years of parenting.

Through anecdotes, explanation and simple exercises, she guides the way for other parents to use techniques such as conscious breathing, present moment awareness, concentration, and energy management to support themselves in their everyday life as a parent.

In these pages, parents will learn to:

- Stay calm during times of distress,
- Make up for lost sleep,
- Get more done in less time,
- Be present for precious moments,
- Make sound decisions,
- Prioritize self-care,
- Conserve energy,
- Use speech wisely,
- See the light in all things,
- Connect with their children, and
- Be the parent they want to be

If you want to parent with presence, awareness, peace, and joy, then this is the book for you.
