Ian Peatey and Monica Reu explore why caring for ourselves is essential to being present, grounded, and connected as parents. They discuss how self-empathy and small, everyday acts of self-care can increase our capacity to empathize with our children, respond consciously, and move beyond habitual reactions. Self-care not only supports children’s needs for safety, consistency, and trust, but also helps parents experience greater vitality, happiness, and well-being.
