A new book offers hope for stressed new parents who want to learn how to calm down and enjoy deeper family bonds.
Mindfulness of Mums and Dads is by Australian psychiatrist Diana Korevaar, and as the title suggests, she says mindfulness training is the key.
By learning how to change their reactions to the challenges of being new parents, Korevaar says they can become more positive and satisfied and ultimately much happier.
Two questions come to mind. What is a psychiatrist – an expert who prescribes drugs for the mentally ill – doing pushing new age mind training techniques? And why do young parents need this anyway, when the modern human has been successfully giving birth and rasing families for a couple of hundred thousand years without it?
