Care for yourself
Everyone needs time for themselves once in a while. But often parents
do not take any breaks because they have so much work to do. If you
get so tired that you do not feel well, then you cannot help your child.
To help yourself relax,
take some slow, deep
breaths. Try not to
think about all the
things you have to do,
just for a while.
Many communities have developed
beliefs and traditions that help calm the
body and mind, as well as build inner
strength. Practicing these traditions
may help you take care of yourself.
