I'm hoping we have @taziness, @taokat and @motherbear here tonight as I know you guys were keen!.

Ok, so I'd like to welcome Emily May to the ReachOut Parents' Forum. 

Emily May Grad Dip (Psych) (Hons); AMAPS; Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner; BA Comms (Social Inquiry).

I can personally attest to Emily's skills in working with young people as we worked together many years ago.

She is incredibly skilled in many areas, and mindfulness as a practice is one of them. I'm going to give her a chance to say hi first before we launch into questions.

Hi Ngaio, thank you so much for inviting me here to talk about this topic!

Hi everyone!

Just a tip I picked up last time, you may like to turn off the email notifications for this chat if you don't want to overload your inbox before you get started!

Mindfulness is such an incredible way of connecting more to what matters, rather than being swept away by thoughts and emotions and applies so well to building relationships with teenagers. I'm looking forward to sharing some insights with you.

Hi @Emily_May, What is the first tip to help us remain mindful in times of emotion?

[taokat]

There are times when emotion takes over and i forget about mindfulness. Is there a tool i can use to help me with that, instead of mindfulness being a hindsight thought?
