Things to Remember
“Parenting is tough, and caring for ourselves is also tough.”
“We know that we should have an annual physical. We would never miss those appointments for our children. And yet, as parents, we sometimes miss those for ourselves.”
“Hiding things or calling it something different creates more instability for our children.”
“Life is wild. It will throw us curveballs.”
“Help your kids know that It's okay to walk into these different settings that feel a bit unknown and, sometimes, very scary when you're going through it.”
“Your kids give you as much energy as they take.”
“If we turn the volume off on that inner voice and instinct, we're missing so much of that goodness inside us.”
