Parenting? Overwhelmed? This combination can be tough to manage and can be hard on the family.
Too much to do?
Too little time to do it?
Too many tugs on your time and your heart?
Have you been wondering: “How can I get it all done?” Does it seem like you are walking through mud?
There are so many parents who are overwhelmed with all of life’s obligations... Loving and caring parents.
Unfortunately, when parents are overwhelmed with life’s circumstances, they may be more reactive when parenting and less responsive when parenting issues arise. When parents “respond” to the issues at hand, they tend to be more calm.
Calmer parents will be more encouraging and will discipline, which means to teach, in a more caring and encouraging way which ultimately leads to a better parent-child relationship. And it's always about the relationship: now and in the future.
Overcoming Being Overwhelmed... While Parenting is possible. Parents can take steps to minimize the struggle…the overwhelm.
During this Over Being Over... Getting Started talk you will begin the journey of discovering your path to reducing what is causing the “overwhelm" in your life. Being less overwhelmed, being more calm, will help parents parent in a way that feels better to everyone in the family.
Sometimes we care so much for others that there is not much time left to care for ourselves. Overcoming being overwhelmed is an important way to care for yourself.
This encouraging parent coaching approach is focused on finding solutions that will help you overcome what is overwhelming and to parent well when it is not easy.
You can take the first step to Overcoming Being Overwhelmed by giving yourself GRACE during this very busy time.
At the end of the talk, we will have time for some parents to "Ask the Parent Coach" some parenting questions.
This Getting Started talk will preview the upcoming 4-week workshop series: Overcoming Being Overwhelmed... While Parenting - Parent Coaching Workshop (more information on the 4-week series here)
Don't go it alone. Parenting in isolation can make being overwhelmed much worse. Being in this workshop with other parents going through the same thing can help reduce the stress of parenting. Parents will be able to share their wisdom which can help minimize those overwhelming factors.
