family!

1. Organise Yourself

Getting yourself organised

can have a dramatic effect on

your overall happiness. Just

make sure your plans are

realistic. If you know what’s

happening and when, your

stress levels will drop as you

ease into your routine!

2. Do You Do Too Much? Slow Down!

As we previously mentioned,

make sure you organise things

that are realistic! You’re sure to

wear yourself out if you try to take

your children to every after-school

club and fit in yoga at 11pm, so

stop and think, are you doing too

much?

Dropping a few things can’t do

any harm and you’ll find yourself

happier, with more energy! Plus, if

you force too much on your child,

they may not find the ability to

entertain themselves.

3. Nobody’s Perfect

First things first, the perfect

parent DOSEN’T EXIST! So

if you have visions in your

mind of the perfect parent

ignore it. Even if you know

other parents who make it

look easy, that doesn’t make

them perfect! Everyone’s

different, so don’t beat

yourself up about it! If you

feel like you have a

weakness, address it and

work on it!

4. Neither Are Your Children!

We can admit that we were

never the perfect child, and

chances are you, reading this,

weren’t either! I’m sure your

friend will boast about how

good their children are, but will

they really include all the bad

bits? NO!

Children have a lot of exploring

to do and things may go a little

wrong, but don’t worry, they’ll

bounce back and things will

get easier!

5. You Can’t Solve Every Problem

Do you try too hard to be

Superdad at every opportunity?

Maybe this isn’t helping as much

as you may think. As your child

gets older they’ll need to deal

with their issues themselves.

When will your child learn to

solve problems if you’re always

doing it for them?

Being a good parent means you

are there for them as a guide,

but let them get on with their

own life!

6. Share The Workload With Other Parents

Splitting the workload between a

number of parents can make life that

little bit easier for you. Whether it’s

taking it in turns to pick up each other’s

kids from school or taking them to

activities, it’ll always free up a bit of

spare time for YOU.

This can also increase friendship bonds

between both the children, and you and

the fellow parents. Just make sure some

parents don’t take advantage!

7. Issues? Deal With Them

We guess there’s such a

thing as being too nice, is

there any point in keeping

someone else happy if it

means you’re always

unhappy? NO. So identify

what needs to be done and

do it to make everyone smile!

And get it done quick, before

you find yourself too deep in

something and you can’t get

out of it!

8. Don’t Forget To Please Yourself

So, hopefully now you’ve

realised that you don’t need

to be perfect, don’t need to

do 35 extracurricular

activities a week, and you’re

organized, you’ll have a bit of

time on your hands. This time

is for you. So make the most

of it and enjoy yourself.

Spend quality time with your

partner or friends - it’s just as

important as spending time

with your children.

9. Let Go. Then Get Over It

After mentioning finding

things that bother you and

doing something about it,

some smaller issues just get

thrown aside, and that’s

okay! Life is definitely not

perfect, so let the smaller

things go. Take a step back

and see how these little

things aren’t going to affect

your life in the grand scheme

of things.
