Parental Burnout - And What We Can Do About It

  • Summary

  • For those of us with children in the house, being a parent in lockdown can feel like slogging our way through a very dark tunnel. With energy levels much lower than before, and schooling expectations much higher, it’s no wonder that many of us feel as if we’re constantly failing.

     

    In this episode, we talk about the crazy difficulties of being a parent now we’re nearly a year into the pandemic, and how we may have lost sight of just how much we’re asking of ourselves. When we’re being asked to tolerate an  intolerable situation, parental burnout is a natural conclusion. But what is it and can we do anything at all about it? The answer is YES, and it’s a surprising one…

     

    We also chat about being sick of the sound of your own nagging voice (hey, where’s FUN ME gone?) and how the lockdown is affecting kids too.
