At this time of year, we often hear the same thing from parents:
‘I just want to do right by my child, but I’m exhausted’
Between school deadlines, revision stress, emotional check-ins, and the everyday rhythm of family life, it’s no wonder so many parents are feeling the weight.
And let’s not forget the hidden part – mum guilt, dad guilt, that quiet inner voice asking if you’re doing enough.
Here’s something we want you to hear clearly:
You are.
You’re showing up. You’re caring. You’re trying, and that matters more than anything.
Sometimes, the best thing we can do is pause, breathe, and remember that we’re not meant to have it all figured out. And neither are our children.
This isn’t a reminder to do more.
It’s a reminder that you’re already doing a lot. And that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes.
We’d love to hear from you:
- What has felt hardest about this season for you?
- Are there any small things that help you feel more grounded?
- What kind of support would feel most meaningful right now?
You’re not alone in this. If you ever want to share what’s on your mind, we’re listening.
Until then, be kind to yourself. You’re doing better than you think.
