For Mum
All parents know that life with kids isn’t always rainbows and unicorns. There are days when it all feels too much.
Overwhelm. Stress. Irritability. Frustration. When you add work, sports, illness, relationship issues and everything else that comes with a full and rich life into the mix, your mental well-being can suffer. Overwhelm and stress can easily lead to burnout.
We would rather you don’t get to that stage and instead, seek support early.
Oftentimes Mum will put all of her energy and care into the kids with very little left over for herself.
As cliched as it may be, the sayings about giving from a full cup and putting your own oxygen mask on first are true!
Taking care of yourself is indeed an act of love for your family. Being a stressed, tired, overwhelmed and frazzled Mum doesn’t benefit anyone.
It may seem counterintuitive to think that focusing on yourself will benefit your kids but it really will.
