Parenting is a constant work-in-progress, and it sounds like you're doing a fantastic job! Routine and structure are often the foundation for many of the parenting advice that gets dispensed. It's a testament to your dedication as a parent to stick by structured strategies even when they might seem laborious to establish at first.Routine has honestly been the best thing for us - it took some work to get here but so worth it! I think breaking things down is an important reminder, especially as a parent because you want everything to change overnight which is unrealistic.
The journal has been an unexpected win too - I love going back and seeing how far we've come, and it's fun to reflect. It also helps on harder days to see progress and remember the good moments!
A great support network really is a game-changer; I feel very fortunate to have some amazing people around me who have helped and understood - it certainly makes the tough times easier!
It's great to hear how much the journal has added in reflecting on your progress - almost like a record of self-reflection and growth alongside your child's milestones!
having that tribe of understanding parents is something to treasure! It's wonderful that you've found fellow parents with shared experiences; there's a lot of power in community, especially when you're going through similar situations.
