Manage episode 443435428 series 2125047
Stop, drop, grow, and glow?
That’s Holly Swenson’s advice to parents. Swenson, a RN-turned-writer and mom of 4 boys (currently ages 10, 13, 15, & 15) was approximately seven years into parenting when she realized that “when you are taking care of yourself, you’re better able to take care of everyone in her life.”
She & Jen talk about her book, Stop, Drop, Grow, & Glow: Forming Deeper & More Joyful Connections with Yourself & Your Children.
Takeaways:
- Self-awareness and self-care are essential for effective parenting.
- Balancing the needs and interests of multiple children requires intentionality and mindfulness.
- Reacting to situations can be counterproductive, while responding thoughtfully fosters deeper connections.
- Parenting is a journey of personal growth and self-improvement.
- The Stop, Drop, Grow, and Glow method encourages reflection, letting go of past experiences, cultivating growth and self-awareness, and embracing joy and gratitude. Self-care is essential for parents to show up as their best selves for their children.
- Children can be a catalyst for personal growth and healing for parents.
- Finding time for self-care may require creativity and microdosing self-care throughout the day.
- Water, such as taking a shower or bath, can be grounding and energizing for parents.
- Maintaining a sense of humor and lightness can help navigate the challenges of parenting.
- Prioritizing self-care and personal growth is an ongoing process that requires intention and discipline.
