Meeting the needs of your child and the other demands of your life
can sometimes take its toll. Find out why it’s important to make some
time for yourself and manage your own feelings when times get tough -
including tips for resolving conflicts and calming things down in your
family relationships.
Parents often spend all their time looking after everyone else in the family and forget about themselves. If you don’t look after yourself, you can end up feeling miserable and resentful, and you won’t be able to give your children the support they need. Admit to yourself that you actually have feelings and needs of your own. It’s not selfish to treat yourself once in a while! It doesn't have to be expensive - but putting aside some time to do just what you want to do, even if it's only 10 minutes a day - is so important. Read more about maintaining a happy family life.

It’s not easy balancing your work and home life,
but how you manage it can make quite a difference to your relationship
with your family. Having a balance between work and home – being able to
work in a way which fits around family commitments and isn't restricted
to the 9 to 5 – boosts self-esteem as you're not always worrying about
neglecting your responsibilities in any area, making you feel more in
control of your life. Your family will be happier to see more of you,
and you'll have a life away from home.
