Self-expectation for the new year

The start of the year can bring with it additional pressure. When setting new goals, instead of focusing on what’s not going well, try to reflect on something that you’re already doing well and build on this instead.

Self-care during the festive season

This festive season, don’t forget to give yourself the gift of self-care. Taking time for yourself, whether it’s enjoying a quiet moment, treating yourself to something you love, or simply saying no to things that drain you is just as important as giving to others.

Self-Soothe box

As parents, we sometimes face both uplifting and difficult days due to external pressures or internal struggles. On the better days, it can be helpful to plan ahead and put supports in place, so we feel more ready when the tougher days arrive. Prioritising our mental health not only helps us cope but also strengthens our ability to care for our children during challenging times.

Appreciating the now

Every stage of your child’s development has its ups and downs. So when it feels heavy, take a breath, and remind yourself to see and enjoy the positives of that season.

Self care check

As parents, we tend to ask ourselves what our children need. Let’s remember to check in and ask ourselves those same questions.

The power of a ‘To-do’ list

When there’s lots to juggle, it can help to take it out of our head and put it on paper. Starting the morning with a to-do list can help to ease stress, and bring a sense of order and calm to the rest of our day.

Social media Christmas

Social media often highlights only the polished, picture-perfect moments rather than the full story. It can be easy to compare our reality to someone else’s highlights but it’s important to step back and remember: perfection isn’t realistic nor the goal.
