Lotus Parenting
Raising resilient children by leveraging the neuroscience of child development & harnessing the power of mindfulness
Lotus flowers bloom in the most unlikely conditions, arising out of muddy waters, and yet remain untarnished themselves. Many of us wish for our children to inhabit this kind of emotional and physical resilience, amidst the chaos and unpredictability of the world we face today. Mindful parenting can help us make that wish a reality. Developed by brain-body expert Dr. Kavitha Kolappa Porchet, Lotus Parenting is a structured step-by-step approach that helps parents leverage the neuroscience of early childhood development to foster secure attachment and resilience for life. As parents, it can be really tough to supersede our own stress in order to stay connected with our children. And, it is truly possible for every parent – with the right tools and support. Learn more about Lotus Parenting here.
