Whether you’re a new parent or have many years of experience, sometimes parenting can be more challenging than we ever anticipated.
For new parents who are traversing uncharted territory of parenthood, the pressure and demands can be overwhelming. Couple that with exhaustion, relational changes with partners, occupational adjustments, new financial obligations, and anxiety and depression due to physical and hormonal changes, and everything can feel exponentially more stressful.
Becoming a parent can be one of the most simultaneously joyful and taxing times in a person’s life. Some new parents are consumed with worry about keeping their new baby safe while others struggle with guilt and doubt about their parenting skills.
