In my role as both School Counselor and Therapist, I get a lot of parents talking about mental burn out and fatigue when it comes to positive parenting in this pandemic with nowhere to go! Not to mention, MN is in somewhat of a lockdown and kids and parents are mostly all at home together.
Here is some starter tips. I’ll be back as this is research based, and we’ve been at this 8 months essentially. I’m constantly asking others & myself, “What’s working?”
“Can we find a soliton focused approach?”
Let’s continue this conversation! How are you parenting in this pandemic while taking care of yourself?

Justice for George. I stand with my community. Black lives matter.

The office got a little face lift and some TLC. I have fallen in love with plants this past year. What’s your ‘must haves?’🌱 🌵🌿🍃

Tapping (EFT) emotional freedom technique. Is a great way to relieve stress and relax. Tap each area listed 2-3 times while reciting a mantra. “Even though I struggle with____I completely accept myself.” 🔥🧘🏽‍♀️⭐️

As you embark on your holiday season, invest and make time for people who invest and make time for YOU. It’s okay to say no. Love hard on those who make you feel good and warm! Happy holidays. We will see you in the new year! 😊♥️

When we help others we create a wheel of wellness. You have my back now, I’ll get yours later. At some point in life we will all be off balanced mentally, but that doesn’t mean we are broken. We can be that person who saves another. Check on your strong friends too, everyone needs help. Wellness is a social responsibility.
