Hunter talks to How To Be Present & Share Mindfulness With Kids about Angie Harris. Talking to Angie is like talking to an amazingly wise older sister who just gets it. Her story will keep you riveted. Some big takeaways from this episode include: 1. We have to make an intentional choice about feeling life’s discomfort so that we can be present for our children, our families, and more. Then, we can hold that discomfort for someone else. 2. Mindfulness magic comes down to some simple neuroscience. Angie explains it the way she explains it to kids. Guess what part of the brain is Captain Underpants? You’ll come away with a clearer understanding. 3. Easy tips to teach kids how to practice mindfulness and how to introduce it to your own children.

There are all kinds of families, and while a majority may be heteronormative with a mom and a dad, plenty of kids grow up in families that don’t fit that mold. Plus, we don’t really know what the gender expression or sexuality of our children may ultimately be. So how do we talk about these things with our kids? How do we raise kids who feel accepted no matter what and are accepting of others? Hunter talks to Jaimie Kelton of The Queer Family Podcast.
