If you are a parent, you owe it to yourself to download The Power of Self-Care in Parenting: A Gift to Your Entire Family. This special free live webinar will address a variety of parents’ unique needs.
The presenters, author Cathy Cassani Adams, radio host Todd Adams and HeartMath Education Specialist Jeff Goelitz, will discuss how to create daily routines and practices for de-stressing yourself, taking time to find greater balance, enjoy yourself and focus on your well-being. Not only is self-care not being selfish, it is an important element of parenting and a healthy, happy family.
It only makes sense that parents who take care of themselves – in other words practice self-care of their mental, emotional and physical well-being – are likely to be more effective at raising their children. It is established fact that the stress and energy drain of parenting makes self-care an imperative. Parents need to know how to recognize their stressors, stop the energy drain and recharge their batteries.
