Mindful communication for parents
Using the foundations and principles of mindful communication, in this final lecture of the series Mindful Communication as a Spiritual Practice,
We will try and understand
- Our responsibility towards our children
- Why it is important to be conscious of this responsibility
- How we can communicate mindfully to parent effectively
When we want our children to do anything, or if they have made a mistake, most of revert to nagging and lecturing and when that does not work, we do more of it!
In this lecture, we discover some other ways of communicating with our children that may be far more effective than nagging and lecturing. These ways of communicating
1) have a better chance of our requests being complied to

...Using Mindful Communication to give feedback and offer advise
In this episode, we use the foundations of Mindful Communication to explore a rather challenging kind of communication: Our responsibility to give feedback Amr bil Maroof and doing amr bil maroof ? enjoining good and discouraging evil.
Providing advice by enjoining the good and forbidding the evil is an integral part of Islamic teachings. And yet it is more challenging today than ever, in part because we often do not have a shared value system and also because we are led to believe that minding our own business is a good thing.
In this lecture we try and understand why it is essential to keep each other accountable by giving feedback when appropriate.
We also discuss appropriate ways to give feedback so that it is more likely to be accepted.
Apologies for the less-than-ideal quality of the audio. Did not realize that there was a fan right behind the microphone!

Mindful communication during family conflict
The standard of family relationships in Islam is very high. According to the Quran, we are to build a home based on the principles of peace, love and compassion, a safe refuge in a turbulent world.
In this episode we explore how to communicate mindfully during family conflict, which is often quite challenging. We have within us a love for our family but we also have a history of emotional baggage that we carry around which often blocks communication and triggers into unhelpful reactions.
We discuss an example of a family conflict and then explore "5 steps to fight better".

I am a counsellor specializing in couple therapy and parent coaching in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Although my first degree was in Law (LLB from the University of Toronto), I realised that my true passion lay in counselling and coaching families and couples to build better relationships. I therefore started training in family and couple therapy and have been practicing marriage and family therapy for almost a decade.
