As a parent we have become accustomed to social structure and providing support for our children that we sometimes lose our authentic self. It is sometimes hard to ask for help from others but having a positive adult to support you can help reduce your stress.

Having another person who has experience listening to youth and understands parenthood can help decrease negative conversations, give you peace of mind, and give you some much needed alone time. The more you are regulated and happy, the easier for your child to be when they deal with life stressors.
