It’s only too easy to idealise a mother’s job. We know well that every job has its frustrations and its boring routines and its times of being the last thing anyone would choose to do. Well, why shouldn’t the care of babies and children be thought of that way too?

Parenting can be a very satisfying, rewarding and yet challenging task. At times parenting can also be exhausting and frustrating, especially when our children are exhibiting challenging behaviors or emotional concerns. With the demanding tasks of our daily routines and a child exhibiting worrisome emotions or behaviors, parents can experience a wide range of emotions. It is also very easy for us to feel confused and defeated when so many other people are busy giving us all kinds of advices or comments about our parenting styles.

Parents, if you are feeling:

  • Overwhelmed by your child’s behaviours or emotions
  • A sense of guilt about your child’s behavioural or emotional challenges
  • Emotionally and physically exhausted
  • Embarrassed and worried when you need to take your child out of the home
  • Angry, frustrated and irritated by your child’s behaviours
  • Rejected and not rewarded as a parent
  • Confused and helpless
  • Not knowing what to do anymore
  • Depressed and tired
  • Self-doubt and defeated
  • And many more …
