Attention, we said “super parent,” not “superhero”! Work, family, friends. The life of a parent is sometimes exhausting… and your energy is limited! How can you make the most of it? In order to work and take care of your family, it is important to recharge your batteries. • Show kindness to your children and to yourself. Although parents understand the importance of kindness towards their children, they don’t think to apply the same to themselves. In order to deal with your children’s anger, disappointment, and fatigue, it is essential to take care of yourself. That way, you will have enough energy for the tough moments. How to regain strength • Do nothing or do what you enjoy! In modern societies, “doing nothing” is a bit taboo, because time must be used to the fullest. So, you may have completely forgotten what it means to do nothing or to do what pleases you…

Instructions to recharge your batteries Find what revitalizes you and gives you energy! What truly pleases you and gives you an inner boost? We mean those activities that give you energy physically, mentally, and emotionally. Examples: You can go out for a meal with a friend, call a friend, “chill” in the sun, read, exercise, cook, do some DIY, play a musical instrument, watch TV, but also tidy up, learn a foreign language, organize something… There is no recipe: Everyone has their own way to recharge their batteries. This may require effort, which at first may seem to “drain your energy.”
