Show 49: Excerpt - Parents Talk About Self-care
It's a fact: parents of all-age kids sometimes feel overwhelmed or maxed-out. Finding time to yourself to “re-charge those batteries” can seem daunting - yet another thing to squeeze into the day. But for parents, self-care is just as important as child-care.
At a recent “parentTalk” meeting held by thread, parents shared their tips for sneaking some "me time" into the day - they tell us it can be something as simple as walking to the mail box, putting on makeup or getting to the gym.
What do you do, mom and dad? Let us know in the comments below...
Our regular contributor Jessica Cochran spoke with the guest-presenter and some of the participants to share those tips with our listeners.
This story comes from our Early Education Desk - this time underwritten by thread and Wells Fargo.
