Parenting or working with children isn't always easy. Sometimes you may feel like you're overwhelmed and frustrated. One important way to avoid being stressed over children is to take care of your own emotional needs.   Do you feel loved and appreciated, or hurt, neglected, and disrespected?  If you're feeling unhappy with yourself and your needs, then you may have a harder time providing guidance to your children. Understand how your current work, family, and emotional situation is impacting your health and well-being.  Think about if you have felt this way for a long time, or just more recently. By being in touch with yourself, you're less likely to "gaslight" your children. Avoid parental or caregiver burnout.  Connect with friends, family, babysitters, or other community supports when you need some time to yourself.  When you have time to yourself, use it to relax rather than just to deal with other problems. Set aside time to exercise, relax, spend time with friends, or whatever helps you feel refreshed. Consider having regular dates with your partner or spouse, away from your children. Block off four hours of time each week to get away from the responsibilities of being a parent. Keep these times consistent each week so that you're less apt to change your plans frequently. This is especially important for single parents, who have a lot of different tasks to handle. You don't have to face your struggles alone. Reach out to professionals at school and through counseling centers. They may have resources and strategies that make it easier for you.  Consider meeting with your child's school counselor about resources to help with parenting. Talk openly about any concerns that you may have regarding your child and what stressors you're facing. Identify counselors that focus on families and children. There may be low-cost therapy options in your area to help you and your child communicate more effectively with each other.  Many counseling centers take insurance or offer sliding scale fees. You'll mess up sometimes, and that's totally normal and acceptable. Just remember that you are doing the best you can and every parent makes mistakes sometimes. One tiny parenting mistake isn't going to throw your child into emotional turmoil for the rest of their lives. The important thing is that you identify the mistakes you make and that you do what you can to fix them. Keep learning from your mistakes, acknowledging your imperfections, and being the best you can be.
