LUCY "The Space” Family Support Idea for the Week:     

What are your biggest strengths as a parent? 

If someone observed you as a parent, what would they admire if they could watch your best moments with your child(ren)? Make a list of all the things you are most proud of- even if they seem small and simple. Also include those not-so-great moments that you have been able to notice and turn around. 

Now let’s build on those strengths… 

Read through your list and give yourself credit and appreciation for all your hard work. Now think of what it is that helps you be your personal best as a parent: what support could help you be that parent more often and how can you give this support to yourself every day? Next, notice when you act in a way with your child that makes you feel good about yourself and do a little celebratory dance, or give yourself a high five! Appreciating yourself will help you be your best self more often and will also help you enjoy parenting even more. 

Sometimes we could all do with someone to talk to.   

If you would like to meet Lucy Cohen for a confidential and non-judgemental chat about you, your child, or any other worries, they are available on Tuesdays from 9-10am.   

You can call/text 07469705850 or email lucy@schoolscounsellingpartnership.co.uk
