So much parenting advice centres on our children. What we should do or say to make things go more smoothly, tools we can employ to get our kids cooperating or behaving in a way that will make life easier for us.

In this week's episode I talk about a much overlooked parenting tool - taking care of ourselves.

By focusing on ourselves, noticing what we need and finding ways to meet our needs, we can transform our parenting.
​
The thing is, we know how to parent well when we are feeling well rested, fulfilled and unstressed.

So how about starting with ourselves. Taking care of our own needs so we can show up for our kids as the calm and confident leaders they need.

In this episode I talk about:
  • Why getting your own needs met is far from selfish
  • How our society doesn’t value or encourage parents to think about their own needs.
  • How the way we take care of ourselves is a template for how our children will take care of themselves as adults,
  • How our own mothers set the template for us and how we can become aware and shift that,
  • Noticing when we want to say yes and no,
  • Noticing our needs and honouring them whenever possible,
  • The many ways we as humans need to get out physical, social, emotional, mental and spiritual needs met to feel complete,
  • How we can start to prioritise our needs so we can show up to parenting with more joy and hope.
