Dads and Couples 
 

Working Together As Parents​

Are you struggling as a Dad, as a partner or as a parent? Most parents feel like they have to choose between caring for themselves and being a "good" mom or dad or a good partner. When we sacrifice our own self-care, we get resentful and depleted. But how do we tend to ourselves in the midst of caring for our partners and our children, both of whom seem to require a lot?

​

It's important not to neglect yourself. And it takes hard work to wear so many hats.

What helps?

• Connecting with people who get it. 

• Mindfulness skills to help stay in the present moment;

• Awareness of the parts of us that are involved in our reactivity: all the ways we try to manage the emotional and physical challenges of parenthood;

• Leadership skills to bring regulation and insight to our intense feelings;

• Communication and interpersonal skills to become more effective in all our relationships.
