What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness involves focusing on the present moment, whatever it may hold, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. When we are fully present in the moment, without judgment, we can be more thoughtful, compassionate, and open-minded about the best course of action in that moment. Mindfulness can help parents and caregivers feel calmer, manage stress, and support and connect with their babies.

¿Qué es la atención plena?
La atención plena consiste en enfocarse en el momento presente, sea lo que sea que traiga, en lugar de quedarse atrapado en el pasado o preocuparse por el futuro. Cuando estamos plenamente presentes en el momento, sin juzgar, podemos ser más reflexivos, compasivos y de mente abierta para decidir cuál es el mejor curso de acción en ese instante. La atención plena puede ayudar a padres y cuidadores a sentirse más tranquilos, manejar el estrés y apoyar y conectar con sus bebés.
