Self care is about caring for ourselves so we have the ability to care for others. We need to practice self love and find our own happiness instead of looking for it outside of ourselves.
Understanding this concept and practicing it are two different things. When two of my daughters were babies I refused to hire a babysitter because I was uncomfortable being away from them. One day I had something that resembled a breakdown on the kitchen floor, and my husband insisted that we find someone to help us with childcare. Once a week for three hours a wonderful young girl would come over and play with my daughters. They loved her and I loved those three hours. I began to appreciate that taking care of yourself is an essential part of effective parenting.

Blessed is the parent whose child skips the picky eating stage.
I had prematurely counted myself among this kind when my 1½ half year old son was happily chomping down whatever I’d place in front of him. Never would I have to suffer through the kids’ menus, the freezer packs of chicken nuggets, the plates of plain buttered noodles. I was convinced that we were somehow different. How wrong I was. Our good eater turned two and the “no green stuff” era (as in quesadilla, no green stuff) began. To combat this scourge, I consulted all the experts and tried everything.

During a recent photo session at the Arboretum, I had posed my boys in front of these beautiful daffodils. And just as I took the picture, a helicopter flew overhead and that was WAY more interesting than mommy taking more…
