As a homeschooling parent, it’s easy to run on empty. Between keeping a house, fixing meals, teaching lessons, chauffeuring to classes and groups, and taking care of kids, it’s easy to forget to take care of yourself. It’s also easy to wait until you are exhausted and overwhelmed to do something about it.
I recently heard that a lot of self-care we see is actually called after-care. This is what we do after we’re already tired and burnt out. Self-care is about doing things that can help you take care of yourself before you burn out.
But, you can’t pour from an empty cup.
I’m sharing some of the self-care things I do regularly to help my mental and emotional health as a homeschooling parent.
