Ever feel like you're running a marathon with no end in sight? That's parenting for you, and today we are getting real about the struggles and triumphs we encounter on this journey. We examine the concept of parenting "standards", the energy we put into parenting, and its impact on our overall well-being. We invite you to reflect on your parenting journey and consider if you are sustaining a healthy pace.
We dive into an energy scale analogy, asking if your parenting experience is akin to lounging on a couch, a leisurely stroll in the park, running a race, or perhaps even a marathon? There's no denying that we often push ourselves to the limit for our children, but at what cost? Pushing too hard can affect our quality of life, and inevitably, our children's. We share insights, experiences, and resources to help you navigate your parenting journey in a more balanced, enjoyable, and sustainable way. It's time to shift gears and make yourself a priority. Let's explore this together.
