The burden of parenthood is often exacerbated by the kind of self-sacrifice that stems from our desire to do everything right for our child. However, research shows that an engaged and healthy parent is much better equipped to support their child. Self-care isn’t selfishness—it’s a necessity. Let’s start with small steps: set aside even just a few minutes each week for something you enjoy, whether it’s reading, going for a walk, or pursuing a hobby. Seek support from family, friends, or professional helpers. Don’t hesitate to seek help from a psychologist or counselor if the burden feels too heavy. Joining parent groups where others are facing similar challenges can provide emotional support. Nurturing our resources improves the quality of the parent-child relationship in the long term and supports the family’s emotional stability.
