Self Care First.

 

 

Not unlike when the airline attendant reminds us to "place your own mask over your face before helping your children," we parents MUST remember to care for ourselves in order to best care for our children.

 

 

Caring for the "self" can take on many forms and will differ from parent to parent, person to person.  Self-care is any activity that renews, refreshes, and refuels.  Practicing self-care regularly, is our best defense against common parenting crises.  In addition, having sensory reminders at the ready, aids us in those moments when we need quick relief in a parenting crisis! ...

In her role as Director of St. Mark's Cathedral Preschool, Lauren led the school with a special awareness of whole family needs. While the children were at the center of the work, Lauren established an environment and focus that helped families meet the challenges of preschool years--from working with the school community to finding various resources to coping with a death in the family. Whether an issue related to scheduling, Kindergarten applications, communications, some hilarious, unexpected turn of events, or other, Lauren was a real partner and friend in teaching us to stay aware, laugh, and take care of ourselves. Thanks, Lauren!
