There are many benefits of parenthood including personal growth, creating a sense of family and having a new perspective on love and life. Here are a few things to consider as you plan towards your new role of being a parent.
Relationships
Facing Addiction as a Family
Addiction can be defined as engaging in the use of substances or engaging in a behavior in which the rewarding effects compel the individual to repeat the activity repeatedly even if there are negative consequences.
Death of a Pet
Pets become an integral part of our family. The death of a pet can sometimes feel just as painful as losing a human family member. Just as you would grieve a loved one, it is important to take the time to grieve your pet.
Coping in an Empty Nest
You may have heard of the term, “Empty Nest”. This is a transitional period in life often marked for parents when their children leave home to pursue tertiary level education or start a life of their own.
Ways to Improve Communication With Your Child
It’s important to schedule some family time! Quality time together can include games, dinner, car rides, fitness routines, and outside time.
