Parenting expert and author of “The Work/Parent Switch,” Anita Cleare, says that “Trying to be a perfect parent is bad for children and bad for parents because it sets everybody up to fail. Research shows that ‘good enough’ parenting is best for children.”

“Getting it right most of the time but also failing your children in ways they can handle, so that they gradually increase their independence,” Cleare explained. “Great parents make mistakes, but they try to learn from them (and not to repeat them too often!).”

Finding a perfect balance between work and family life can be exhausting, particularly for new parents trying to get everything done on time without any breaks. This can make them feel as though the walls are closing in and that everything is going wrong.

Cleare pointed out that parents need to take care of themselves, especially in situations like these.

“Putting yourself last is not good for you or for your kids. Even when you are really busy, try to find regular 5-20 minute breaks in your day when you can relax, practice some mindfulness, or do something joyful,”
