Listen to today's podcast...
At this point in the summer vacation cycle, some of you are very tired of being home or entertaining or dropping off your children and you can hardly wait until the school bell rings. This doesn’t make you a bad parent.
Being home with your children whether for a day or as a career choice can take a lot of energy and creativity, and it is important for parents to take care of themselves and to support each other. Whether you are a working parent or a stay-at-home parent, both of these decisions take a certain sacrifice and toll.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Stay At Home With Your Kids Day:
Find something fun to do today with your children.
Examine your priorities. Leaving your job may not be an easy decision, but if your heart aches every time you drive away from the daycare center in the morning, it might be time to look at other options.
Financially, there are many more options today. Some parents have chosen flex hours, telework, job sharing, starting their own company, virtual companies etc.
Once you have made the choice make the best of it. Don’t let guilt rule and take the enjoyment out of life. When you are home, be at home. When you are at work, be at work. Be present and engaged.
Finally, on this day, reward yourself and your children. Being a parent is hard – there is no manual and a million right and wrong ways to do just about everything. Give yourself a pat on the back. Look back at what you have accomplished as a parent and take some satisfaction in that. It is not about perfection. It is about raising happy, healthy, well-adjusted children, in the very best way that we can.
