Many moms who we work with will say similar things regarding parenting. “I feel like we’re in a never-ending race and don’t know how to make it stop”. Many feel anxious about not doing enough to help their kids succeed or keeping up with the ever-rising expectations for participation in enrichment, activities, athletics, and other endeavors. They worry about their kids achieving their full potential as they navigate through middle and high school, and wonder if they will be able to get into the college of their aspirations.
And with that, they are stressed and often ..read more
