Parent SOS
We were never meant to do it on our own. We need community to parent well.
Listening Partnerships, “Parent SOS,” helps to offload the stress of parenting so we can parent well.
It’s unfair you have to do more work on top of the work of being a parent. The loads and pressures put on parents in our society are immense, which makes parenting harder. You’re doing a fantastic job despite the circumstances!
We need community to parent well. We were never meant to do it on our own. Human connection is vital to health and well-being. Dealing with our own emotions so we can then deal with the emotions of our child makes everything easier.
Counseling is great, but it’s not always affordable and easy to access in the moments we really need it most. Join a network of parents that are learning to be the emotional support for each other to parent well. We need each other now more than ever. Start with Listening Partnerships.
Parent Resources
Let’s get you resourced for what you can actually control in a system that doesn’t support parents.
Parent Community
Human connection is vital to helping ourselves help our children. Processing our own feelings can help us be more fully present to deal with our child’s emotions. Reach out to schedule a regular time for yourself with another parent.
Nutrition
Having the right nutrients in our diets is not limited solely to physical health; mental well-being is tied to gut and nutrient intake as well. This doesn’t mean having to constantly cook, but choosing snacks that support overall health does help.
Moms and parents may need to be nourished in different ways than their children. Finding out what being fully nourished is for each and every one of us can help with more connection to ourselves and, ultimately, our children.
Sleep
Getting enough sleep is not an easy thing for many parents. Do the best you can and if you can, resource yourself with childcare you trust so you can get sleep.
Here is a short video on how to help children sleep easier.
