It’s International Self-Care Day!

At Habitude, we know parenting is one of the most rewarding and demanding jobs out there. That’s why our Behaviour Support and Social Work teams have a few practical self-care tips just for you:
👟 Take a walk (even 10 mins alone can help reset your mind)
🗓 Set a “quiet time” routine, even for older kids, to create a break for everyone
📵 Turn off notifications during family time (and your own recharge time!)
🙋‍♀️ Ask for help whether from a friend, partner or professional
🗣 Reach out to chat if it’s getting too much

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Investing in yourself helps your whole family thrive. 💚
