Today's Tip applies to Taking Care of the Care Taker
Â
Remember to laugh- at yourself and others!
Â
It's important to take your job as a parent seriously. Â There are
many things we need to do in order to grow future, well-rounded adults. Â The tasks and the responsibility can seem overwhelming at times.
Â
One way to avoid burnout (or to help pull yourself out of it if you are already well past burnout!) is to find things
that make you laugh.Â
Â
Some of you know that alongside my psychology degree, I also seriously studied humor. Â I continue to study both and humor has LOTS of benefits -which is why I try to share it with you. Â There are cognitive, social, mental, and
yes, even physical benefits. Â Using humor also makes parenting more fun.
Â
Make it a point to look for and notice things that make you laugh - even if they're little. Â It will improve your whole day!
