The Parenting Sessions / Staying Steady: Looking After Yourself So You Can Look After Them
With Carola Becker
This webinar is about you. Not just you as a parent, but you as a person — because the two are more connected than we often acknowledge.
Research confirms that a parent's emotional state is one of the most important influences on a young child's sense of safety. When you're steadier, they feel it. When you're running on empty, they feel that too. But this isn't about adding pressure — it's about reframing self-care not as a luxury, but as one of the most practical parenting tools available to you. Because if you look after yourself you have something left to give to your child.
We will talk about what stress really does to the brain and body, the difference between coping and genuinely restoring, and why the small moments of resetting yourself matter more than you might think. We'll also have an honest conversation about why self-compassion isn't weakness: it's a valuable strategy to support yourself and your child.
You will leave with simple, realistic practices you can start using straight away, no matter how busy your day is.
