"Self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity for every parent" #ParentingEdition

Loading player...
As parents, it’s easy to put everyone else’s needs ahead of our own. The constant juggling of school runs, work commitments, household chores, and emotional support for our children can leave little room for self-care. However, neglecting our own well-being can lead to burnout, stress, and even resentment, which ultimately affects our ability to care for and connect with our kids. Just like an aeroplane’s safety instructions tell you to "put on your own oxygen mask first," parents need to take care of themselves to be able to properly care for their children. Practicing self-care is essential—not just for our health but for the health of our family too.

Join Noma Santra, a social worker by profession on this podcast as she shares some self-care tips.
