This Shouldn't Be Happening?! How to Make Fall Colds Feel Better Ep. 28
Description
Our 8-year old can go through an entire box of tissues in a few hours. How do we know? We're in cold season. We've been hearing from so many parents how challenging this time period is. We're feeling the weight of sniffles, missed plans, and long nights
Surprisingly, how we are sick differs so much from culture to culture, and can stir up a lot of conflict.
This week, we're not changing systems to better support parents, or making a miracle cure to wipe out the common cold, but we are sharing a few mindset shifts that can help ease the tension of cold season. We also share a story of when we REALLY didn't listen to our own advice and let FOMO get the best of us.
If you've got a kiddo under the weather, this episode is your reminder:
-
You don't have to earn rest
-
Whatever you miss, it will come back around (FOMO is real, I like to tell myself, there's always more)
-
You didn't do anything wrong
-
Colds are part of parenting—acceptance makes it easier
Share this with a parent who needs a little encouragement (and maybe a fresh box of tissues).
