When it comes to being a parent stress and anxiety is something that comes along with the job and you learn to deal with over time. However sometimes finding ways to deal with the stress and anxiety can be difficult. This article gives you the insight and a more in depth look into five ways for you to manage stress and anxiety as a parent.

Key Takeaways:

• Being a parent is the single most stressful and anxiety-inducing thing I’ve done in my life (and I went to law school).
• Once I found a therapist I could trust, I was able to have a safe space to process my thoughts and feelings without judgment, and I gained some new tools for dealing with stress and anxiety.
• It helps to have a therapist who is also a mom to a young child, as it’s easy for us to relate; I truly wish I had sought out a group therapy for new moms when Little Cotton Candy was a baby, as I think it could have made the transition easier for me.

“For those who struggle with anxiety (and even those who don’t), there are always going to be bad days and times when you feel like a failure as a parent, employee, spouse, daughter, whatever.”
