 Do you know what it means to be a good PARENTS?????????

IT IS STAYIING HEALTHY FOR A LONG TIME...... THEY SHOULDN'T ENDURE PAIN TO SAVE MONEY FOR THEIR CHILDREN. THEY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES......

Feelings of wellbeing are fundamental to the overall health of an individual, enabling them to successfully overcome difficulties and achieve what they want out of life.

Past experiences, attitudes and outlook can all impact wellbeing as can physical or emotional trauma following specific incidents.

A child’s wellbeing will be affected by the wellbeing of their parents so it is essential that parents take time for themselves in this respect.

For the most part, parents are often focused on their child’s health. What their kids eat, removing all allergens, balancing what the body is missing with nutritional supplementation, and removing inflammation. All of these steps leave little time to be a wife or husband, and take care of the rest of the family members. Which begs the question: WHO IS TAKING CARE OF ME?........What is missing in this equation? Balance. Somehow we (parents- me... you!) fell off the priority list. We are focused on our kids from the moment we wake up to when our eyes close from exhaustion. This has to change.  

For many parents, it's understandably difficult to find time to exercise. This can be especially true for parents with young children, all of whom have behavior problems from time to time. At the beginning or end of a long day, exercising often feels like the last thing we want to do. But, as parents, taking care of ourselves is necessary in order to have the energy, health, and disposition to be the best parents we can be. When we don't feel good, parenting is harder.

We are beginning to learn more about the relationship between physical activity and parenting outcomes. Research shows that parents with depression and/or poor physical health have a harder time practicing effective parenting strategies. Exercise, meanwhile, can have positive effects on both psychological and physical health. It's correlated with increased happiness, better moods, improved cognitive performance, and, of course, physical fitness. We know from extensive research that exercise can ease symptoms of depression and anxiety. It releases "feel good" hormones and increases body temperature, which can help calm us. Staying physically active can also help us maintain enough energy to keep up with our kids (especially those little ones!) and live long lives so that we're there for our children as they grow up. While it might be difficult to find ways to add physical activity to your life, there are significant potential benefits to your own wellbeing, your parenting, and your relationship with your children.

You don't have to get a gym membership or go to spin classes to get moving. One strategy to add more physical activity to your life is to do fun, active things as a family. Instead of watching a movie, you could play pretend and "chase" each other around your house. You can go on a walk together, explore a new park (but don't sit on the bench while the kids play), take the stairs and count them together, or park as far away from the store and note all the colors of cars as you walk to the door. You could learn to jump rope, pogo stick or hula hoop together.

If you have low energy and/or are not enjoying time with your child, it is important to speak about your health and go to doctors or psychologist or psychiatrist for your good health.

Remember -   THE BEST THING A PARENT CAN DO FOR THEIR CHILD IS STAYIING HEALTHY.
