To be a parent it takes up a lot of time and energy.

But its extra important you look after your self as well.

It's easy for your children to take up your every waking minute. But unless you look after yourself, you can exhaust all your reserves of energy and enthusiasm. Make time for the people and activities that help you feel positive, energetic and self-confident.

It can be difficult, but make time for yourself and relax. Don't see this as a special treat but as something you deserve on a regular basis.

Balancing your job with your home life can be tough and there's nothing worse than worrying about your childcare arrangements while you're at work. To find out more about childcare options see our childcare section.
