It calls on us to be more patient and compassionate than ever before. It requires us to be organized, thoughtful and discerning. It can consume us with anxiety and regret, while also filling our lives with joy and gratitude. But being a parent can be a gateway to our most significant growth points and it gives us the opportunity to expand who we are capable of being.   Mentioned in this Episode https://www.ahaparenting.com/ Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids: How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting and Peaceful Parent   https://www.ahaparenting.com/peaceful-parent-happy-kids   Happy Siblings: How To Stop the Fighting and Raise Friends for Life https://www.ahaparenting.com/peaceful-parent-happy-siblings   Getting Your Child Out the Door in the Morning https://www.ahaparenting.com/parenting-tools/family-life/kids-morning-routine   Connect with the 60 Mindful Minutes podcast   Web: https://kristenmanieri.com  Email: Kristen@kristenmanieri.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/60MindfulMinutes Instagram: @kristenmanieri_
