Being a parent is a tough job and nobody gives us a handbook!
So much can happen that leaves us feeling frustrated, ashamed and overwhelmed, turning our households into emotional battlefields.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Parenting overwhelm is leaving you feeling constantly stressed, irritable or perpetually in a bad mood. You feel guilty for not being the parent you dreamed you’d be but you can’t get there, and you’re worried what it’s going to do to your kids and your relationship.
You are constantly battling with your child’s school: getting frequent calls about behavior or having your child sent home, struggling to advocate for them, and nothing you do is working.
Your child is highly sensitive and anxious – worrying about school, being alone, others’ perceptions, etc. that results in school refusal, sleep issues, meltdowns or anxiety attacks and you have no idea what to do to help break the anxious spin and relax.
Your child is extremely challenging at home: refusing to listen, combative, pushing limits, etc. You’ve tried kindness, you’ve tried yelling, you’ve tried punishing but nothing seems to be working and you’re turning into a parent you don’t want to be!
You are going through a divorce, struggling to hold it all together and co-parent, constantly feeling worried about how this will affect your kids but aren’t sure what to do about it.
You think you may be experiencing postpartum anxiety or depression, feeling guilty because you “should” be loving this time with your new baby but all you feel is disconnected and stressed or struggle to get out of bed and do anything.
You don't have to exist in the overwhelm!
There’s no perfect, one size fits all answer but your goals are achievable!
When we know better we do better.
Let’s create a plan together to create less hurt and more connection and calm within yourself and with your kids.
