The next few days, I get the privilege to be trained in Newborn Behaviors enhancing early relationships with the Mr. Rogers PhD of Newborns and he and his field highly respected; the late Dr. T. Berry Brazelton and the Brazelton Institute in MA. In other words it is at the very embryo of a brand new family and meeting each other for the first time. Much like getting a new boy/girl friend and learning about who they are and how you connect; except teenier and you can’t break up. And for me, family relationships are the very core to our existence and JOY. I can’t wait.
If you are struggling as a parent right now, and feel overwhelmed, discouraged, and weary to the bone don’t give up. Don’t berate yourself. Think back at that first moment you held that new baby you may be struggling with, and remember that that person is more important in this world than any THING or any ACTION that is distracting the love you have for them. If you believe in a higher power, ask for help. If you don’t, ask for help from someone close. Parents need support. This job is not for the weak, but it is also not supposed to be accomplished alone. Don’t give up. If anything, I see you.
