Back to School Self-Care
We know that nothing’s worse than when your kid is sick. But it is important to also remember to practice self-care for yourself so that you can provide the best care and comfort to your child when they are feeling unwell. We know that being a parent is a huge responsibility that comes with many roles and shoes to fill. For Instance, you’ve got to get up to fix breakfast for your kids, pack lunches, drive your kids to school or put them on the bus, and maybe go to work yourself. And that’s all before 9 a.m.! Then school ends, and homework, projects, extracurriculars, and dinner all need to be done—all before the next day, when you have to do everything all over again! It can get overwhelming, but we want to help make sure you are practicing self-care and taking care of your health. Therefore, you can continue giving your kids the best support possible.
