TAKING CARE OF YOU

Parental self-care

Taking care of yourself can be as easy as...

  • Connecting with friends and other parents

  • Reading a book

  • Taking a walk

  • Listening to music

  • Practicing meditation or reflection

Taking care of yourself is one of the best things you can do for your kids! Taking the time to feel better and reduce stress allows you to be a more present and patient caregiver.
