IN PERSON: The Mindful Mirror - How Your Calm Shapes Your Child

NOTE: This event will take place Bridges to Growth in the Carver Center for Families at 1200 W. 17th St, Georgetown, 78626.

Join Kamini Verma, LCSW-S, RPT-S, of the Samaritan Center, to learn the power of a parent's emotional response.

This interactive workshop explores how a parent’s nervous system, emotional presence, and mindful responses directly shape their child’s brain development and emotional patterns. Using a blend of neuroscience insights and accessible mindfulness tools, parents will discover the art of the pause—and how their internal calm becomes their child’s emotional anchor.

By the end of this workshop, parents will:

1. Understand how mirror neurons and co-regulation work in parent-child dynamics.

2. Recognize the power of their own emotional responses in shaping their child’s nervous system and behavior.

3. Learn and practice mindfulness strategies to pause, reset, and respond intentionally during stressful moments.
