Great Ways To Connect With Other Parents (And Why It’s Important)

Great Ways To Connect With Other Parents (And Why It’s Important)There’s a lot of challenges that come with being a parent and perhaps one of the most surprising is how isolating it can feel. Before baby came along, you likely had plenty of adult conversations. However, once you’re a parent, a LOT of time is taken up by your little one and it’s not unusual for many parents to spend days alone with just them and their child.

This isolation can have a dramatic negative impact on your well-being. While it’s great spending so much quality time with your child, you need a separate life too. If none of your friends have children, it can be difficult to relate to one another. Many friendships sadly fizzle out once baby comes along as your priorities switch.

So, how can you prevent yourself from becoming too isolated? The answer is to connect with other parents. Here we’ll look at some of the best ways to connect with other parents and stop yourself from feeling like you’re going insane. [Read more…]

How To Avoid Becoming A Helicopter Parent To Your Toddler

How To Avoid Becoming A Helicopter Parent To Your ToddlerAs a parent, it’s natural to want to try and protect your children. From the second they’re born, you feel an overwhelming need to keep them safe and protected. However, sometimes the fear over what could happen to our little ones can cause us to become overprotective; particularly during the toddler stage.

Your baby is growing up and once they reach the toddler stage it presents a whole new world of potential dangers. It can be utterly terrifying, so naturally you want to step in and help wherever you can. The trouble is, if you try to help too much, it could actually prove to be more damaging to your toddler.

Helicopter parenting can cause our children to grow up to become incapable of being independent. They struggle to think for themselves and they’ll also find it difficult to cope with life’s problems later down the line. It can cause significant development issues that will be difficult to address and resolve later on in life.

So, how do you know if you’re a helicopter parent and how can you avoid or stop being one? [Read more…]
