Your child's behavior may challenge you. It's okay. A change in routine can be stressful for a child. Children show they are upset the only way they know how — through their behavior. Don't take it personally when they act out. Pause, breathe, then respond.

Self-care is not selfish. It is an act of love. Taking care of your health and well-being ensures you are prepared physically and mentally to care for your child.

It's very hard to hide your feelings from your children. And you don't need to, as long as you don't leave them alone with theirs. Do your best to handle your feelings so you can help them manage theirs.

If you feel overwhelmed, nervous, or have lingering sadness, it is important to reach out to a trained and experienced mental health professional. It is okay to ask for help. You are not alone. https://bit.ly/33GRhcu

Think about the things that make you feel better, such as songs, family meals, prayers, hugs, or seeing the world through your child's eyes. Do them often.
