Here’s why parenting sessions are so important for the emotional work of a child:
Some days, the weight of parenting feels like more than just a long to-do list. It’s the invisible mental load — remembering appointments, managing emotions (theirs and ours), planning meals, keeping routines, answering endless questions, and somehow still trying to hold space for ourselves.
It’s no wonder we feel drained.
Here’s what I know: the stress we carry doesn’t just stay with us. Our children feel it too — not always in obvious ways, but in the energy we bring into the room, in how patient we can (or can’t) be, in how connected we feel to them and to ourselves.
That’s why taking time to unpack that stress isn’t selfish — it’s necessary. And why Howe Counseling Co. offers parenting sessions as well.
Whether it’s journaling, going for a walk, reaching out to a friend, or just allowing ourselves to breathe a little deeper — those small moments of emotional care matter. They teach our children that feelings are meant to be felt and that growth is something we never stop doing.
You don’t have to do it perfectly. Just with intention. Because your emotional health is part of their foundation.
Take the pause. Do the work. You and your child are both worth it. Schedule your parent session today!
