Wishing You Wellness: Parent Self-Care

Webinar: Wishing You Wellness: Parent Self-Care

As parents, we’re often so preoccupied with caring for everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves. And when we do make time for ourselves, we sometimes feel guilty, as if we’re neglecting our families.

The reality is that if we don’t practice self-care, we can’t give our best selves to our children, spouses, and others around us. It’s only when we are calm and relaxed that we can access our executive skills, allowing us to consciously respond instead of unconsciously reacting when stressful situations occur.


The reality is that if we don’t practice self-care, we can’t give our best selves to our children, spouses, and others around us.


In this webinar, Conscious Discipline Certified Instructor Angela Fraley gives you actionable advice for practicing self-care—and explains why this practice is so vital. Join Angela to fill your wellness toolbox with six wellness tools that will help you access the best version of yourself.
