Mindful Families - Brisbane

Mindful Families - Brisbane Happiness is a skill that can be learned! Mindful Families helps families (and educators) explore the attitudes that develop happiness and meaning.

Mindful Families aims to support parents (and educators) in helping children develop universal values that lead to positive minds and happy hearts. We encourage children’s mindfulness and kindness by sharing information related to Buddhist practices, such as meditation and mindfulness, and ethical principles such as respect, responsibility, compassion, gratitude and honesty. Mindful Families is co

-ordinated by Venerable Drolkar, a "hands-on" grandmother to two young grandsons. Mindful Families is affiliated with the Langri Tangpa Centre and the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (www.FPMT.org)

🧠 Neurodiversity Celebration Week 🧠

🗣️ This week, we proudly join the global community in recognising Neurodiversity Celebration Week - a movement founded in 2018 by Siena Castellon to challenge stereotypes, broaden understanding, and celebrate the many strengths, talents and perspectives of neurodivergent people.

🗣️ At StoryBox Hub, we believe that sharing stories - and seeing yourself represented in them - is integral. Stories invite empathy. They normalise difference. And they help create the inclusive, equitable cultures this week calls us toward.

🗣️ We’re honoured to feature a growing collection of stories that champion diversity in all its forms, including 'Come Over To My House', 'Bernie Thinks in Boxes' and 'Remarkable Remy'. We’re also proud to celebrate the voices of neurodiverse storytellers such as and - whose honesty, creativity and lived experience enrich our library in powerful ways.

🗣️ Neurodiversity Celebration Week invites us to move from awareness to action - embracing inclusive design and championing meaningful organisational change.

📖 We invite you to explore our Story Box Library collection, start conversations, and take meaningful steps - big or small - towards a world where every individual feels seen, valued and supported. Because when we celebrate neurodiversity, we all grow.

I think it is very good, especially for those of you who have children - you know, at birthday times and Christmas time children get so many gifts, they get completely confused by having the gifts they get - then to have a rule, perhaps, in your household, that you can play with all these toys and things for one month and then at the end of that you can select three you really like and send the rest to children elsewhere who don't have any toys.

This solves many things. First of all it saves your children from being completely spoiled little brats, also it teaches them the joy of giving and an awareness that there are other children in the world who have nothing. And it helps them to share, this beautiful quality of sharing. This quality of sharing is very important and we should inculcate it in children as soon as possible. And in our own lives also we should take a joy at allowing things to slide through our fingers without always holding them so tightly.
