Awe
Details
Description
Parents frequently comment on the wonder they experienced the first time they held their child after birth. The miracle of this little creature storms into your life and changes, almost in an instant, the way you perceive the world. But we talk less about the awe, that combination of wonder and fear, that we experience as parents. Your child is so adventurous! But how do we keep them safe from the dangers in the world? Your child is so smart! But how should we steward and channel their passions? Your child is growing so fast! But how should we best prepare them for the responsibilities of adulthood? In this session, we will explore the ways in which parents can cultivate a sense of awe in their daily lives, and how this can lead to greater well-being, resilience, and joy in their role as parents.
