Maintaining Individuality in Parenthood

Recognize the importance of maintaining boundaries in parent-child relationships, ensuring that the role of a caregiver does not consume your entire identity.

Communicate to your child the significance of your relationship with your partner and the value of nurturing it.

Parenting requires being a sturdy leader, which involves not letting any single aspect, even the relationship with your child, dominate your identity.
