Parental wellbeing – thrive, don't just survive!

We talked about:  

  • Why Jenny does what she does and how she supports working mums (and dads). 
  • What really thriving means as a working parent. 
  • How to bring yourself up in the priority list in order to bring the best of yourself to parenting. 
  • Where does the guilt come from in doing things for yourself? Remembering that you can have it all but you can’t do it all! 
  • The concept of self care and what does this really mean? For example, isn’t a relaxing bath just a basic need?  
  • Why it’s important for your children to see that it’s OK to not always be busy. 
  • Carving out adult time when / if you can – it really is OK to put yourself first and does you good. 
  • Jenny’s top 3 tips to help you thrive not just survive!

About the Podcast

Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between
Your go-to for advice on how to communicate with the children in your life. Brought to you by family consultancy Bespoke Family, enabling families to thrive
Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here! The perfect parent doesn't exist, but in their family consultancy business Bespoke Family, Becks and Claire believe that a child centred approach which recognises and respects individuality is the best way to enable families to thrive. Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
