STRESS RELIEF

Learn more about building routines to help children feel safe, the difference between positive and toxic stress, and the importance of caring for yourself so you can be there for your child.

Caring for your child starts with caring for yourself.

Self-care is an essential part of parenting. Make time for yourself, so you can be there for your child.

It takes energy to provide your child with the attention, support and emotional safety that they deserve. Everyone needs a break, so focus on doing something healthy for yourself – even if it’s just for a few minutes. Above all, give yourself permission to ask for help when you need it.
