Are you a Selfish Parent?

When you take time for yourself, you’re being...

Selfish. Teens need undivided attention.

A role model. Parents set the bar for healthy behaviors.

Self-centered. Parents need to focus on their children 100% of the time.

The best way for parents to set a good self-care example is by:

Taking time to pursue activities that boost happiness.

Making work the last priority, always.

Leaving home without explanation just to get alone time.

Most teens want parents to take time for themselves because…

It’s comforting. Teens like it when parents are happy.

They don’t like their parents.

It allows them to enjoy activities parents don’t approve of when they’re watching.
