Not TM, but interesting and relevant!

Over nearly 50 years of teaching TM (Transcendental Meditation) many parents have mentioned to me that the first people to notice when they haven’t meditated is their young children.

“Stressed parents, despite all the love and devotion they feel and wish to extend to their offspring, are at a disadvantage. Research has demonstrated that when stressed, parents are less patient, more punishing and harsher with their young children. Stress impairs their capability to be calm, responsive and attuned. As a review by leading researchers pointed out : “in more stressful environments for parents, children not only expreience less protection from environmental stressors, but also are more likely to have stress inducing relationships with caregivers.

When parents are stressed, children are stressed affecting their brain development and functioning. And when stressed, children are more likely to “tune out” as a coping mechanism. Intensifying risk to young brains is the documented psychologic and neurotoxic impact of digital media.”
