Thinking about being a parent

It can be useful to think or talk about what kind of parent you want to be.

In this section are some prompts to help you think about what sort of mum or dad you are or want to be. We often don't take the time to think about it - we're often too busy being parents! But it might be something you can think about while you're mowing the lawns or doing the vacuuming.

Looking after yourself and your relationships is also important for parents. It's hard to keep up with the kids if you're feeling run down or lacking in support.
