Additionally, studies on this particular training specifically show a boost in the well-being of both parents and children (see study).

Mindfulness y Autocompasión para Padres e Hijos
Este divertido entrenamiento puede ayudar a padres y cuidadores con niños/as de 8 a 11 años a desarrollar y practicar la autocompasión juntos.
¿Cómo puede Mindfulness y Autocompasión ayudarme a mí y a mis hijos?
Mindfulness nos ayuda a dar cuenta de cómo nos sentimos en el momento y poder manejar las emociones sin estar agobiado. La autocompasión nos ayuda a sentirnos mejor cuando pasamos por momentos difíciles y a sentir que no estamos solos.
