\n

A mother, teacher, speaker, and\u00a0co-author of Art of Attention<\/em>, Elena Brower<\/a> has been teaching\u00a0yoga and meditation since 1999. She and her son, Jonah, led this heartfelt Speakeasy together at Wanderlust Thredbo<\/a> this past February about raising great kids.<\/p>\n

As a parent<\/a> you are constantly faced with the challenges of learning how to relate to your children on an even playing field. What processes do you need to ensure they are\u00a0empowered yet have the\u00a0ability\u00a0to listen, respect, and forgive?\u00a0More importantly, how do you admit when you’ve messed up<\/a> and how do you fix it?\u00a0Elena and Jonah offer simple yet profound techniques on how to be a family with feeling and raise kids to become amazing adults.<\/p>\n

“Own your part as a parent. When you screw up, make sure you apologize, and make sure you forgive yourself so that the kid has an example of how to forgive you, by your own example.\u201d \u2013 Elena Brower<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
