With your children at school, you are on to a new stage of your life, playing a new role. The daily challenges you confront have changed, yet for each one Buddhist teachings of mindfulness, compassion and calm are invaluable.

In a warm, wise, inclusive and accessible style, Sarah also suggests ways to share Buddhist teachings with your children so they maintain a connection to their own inner wisdom rather than reacting to peers and the media. Within this book, you will find the inspiration to be more patient, loving and attentive towards your children, other family members, other parents, but most of all, yourself
