I am often asked this question by parents in our workshops and teleclasses. I think sometimes they know the answer in their hearts but they want the answer to be laid out in a tangible format that they can absorb with their minds as well.  When they hear this equation I can often see the exhale of relief, as if, they now can slow down with good solid reason.  With this information in hand, body, mind and spirit can come together and do the things necessary to slow down, connect and truly enjoy family life.

This equation comes from our Slow Family Living workbook which you can download for free from our site. We offer a Slow Family teleclass too which serves as a guiding hand to walk you through the process of finding ways to slow down that work for YOU and your family. We’d love for you to join us.

And now, the answer to the question above…

The Benefits of Slowing Down
When you slow family life down you’re able to stay more resourced.
When you are more resourced you are more present.
When you are more present you are more tuned in to your own needs and
the needs of everyone in the family.
When you are more tuned in to the needs of each individual everyone feels seen.
When everyone feels seen everyone feels safe.
When everyone feels safe there is harmony.
When there is harmony there is more love, more connection, more ease,
more fun and more joy.
When there is more love, connection, ease, fun and joy there’s more desire to be
together as a family.
