Hi, I’m Lucy, co-owner of Social Butterfly School. And we are in our last topic of our four-part series on behavioral strategies. The topic for this week is taking care of yourself.

Taking care of yourself. Why is this important? If you’re not okay, you will be irritated and it will be hard for you to help your child, and it can turn into a power struggle in your home. I encourage you to find things that you can do to replenish your cup each day. It could be praying, or meditation, exercise, reading a book, talking to a friend, or even taking a long bath or shower. You will need to do something for yourself. If you don’t, you can respond in anger, in a very emotional manner, and jeopardize the relationship with your child. Remember, take care of yourself.

See you next week!
