Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the use of mindfulness skills. Mindfulness is broken down into a number of components, including the description of your experience, acting with awareness, acceptance of your experience, and nonreactivity. In ACT, self-as-context (that is, the observer you), defusion, and contact with the present moment are used to help foster mindfulness. Several exercises helped you practice your emerging mindfulness skills, which will develop further with time and practice. Finally, we offered you some opportunities to use your mindfulness skills to help build your relationship with your child and to motivate good behavior.

In the next chapter, we’ll discuss the use of mindfulness in the context of willingness and committed action. We’ll also illustrate how mindfulness allows you to more fully pursue your values. Finally, we’ll advise you how to address your child’s misbehavior.
