Lovingkindness

'Bienveillance' is the French world for 'metta', translated as 'lovingkindness' --- watching over, 'taking care' with kindness; - a bit like 'surveillance' with friendly, benevolent intention. While our lives are ephemeral, intangible, how we live and what we do matters and lives on beyond us. The way we are present remains, internalized in the memories and internal representations of others.

Mindful, Compassionate Parenting
![Photo of Marilee G. Ruebsamen, PhD, Psychologist](https://photos.psychologytoday.com/3ee7b289-46cd-11ea-a6ad-06142c356176/3/320x400.jpeg)
Attuned, empathic, effective parenting is characterized by mindful awareness, the ability to be reflective rather than hostile and reactive, "seeing beyond what is", practicing clarity with intentionality, flexibility, and compassion: and it is as ever-evolving as children and life itself are, per Daniel Siegel, "from the inside out". Groups are need- and relationship-based, offered in response to requests from parents whose issues are similar and who appear likely to benefit from sharing and working together.
