Parent SOS
It’s unfair you have to do more work on top of the already hard work of being a parent. Know that the loads and pressures put on parents are immense, which makes parenting just plain hard. You’re doing a fantastic job despite the circumstances!
Dealing with the emotions of our children is important. With a lack of “the village,” so much so, we should have a parent ambulance that comes around to help when parents need someone to step in and help remind us we are good.
Listening Partnerships For Parents
We were never meant to do it on our own. We need community to parent well. Listening Partnerships help offload the stress of parenting so we can parent well.
Let’s get you resourced for what you can actually control in a system that doesn’t support parents.
Connect
Human connection is vital to helping ourselves help our children. We need to offload our own feelings so we can deal with our child’s emotions. Reach out for an emergency Listening Partnership.
Or, call a friend to sit in your car for twenty minutes with you, somewhere private, so you can get at the feelings out that inhibit you from being fully present and caring with your child(ren).
Nutrition
Make sure you and your kiddos have a snack or meal. You don’t have to cook something, find something that nourishes you with not a ton of sugar.
Moms, you need to stay nourished too.
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.
