Parenting is hard! Most days, it will feel like no one appreciates you. But you don’t need to wait for approval from others! Self-praise or positive parenting affirmations can be highly effective if you practice them regularly.
As moms, we are seriously underappreciated. We get caught up in our day-to-day routines of work, cooking, cleaning, and everything else we are expected to do. No one notices what we do until or unless we stop doing it.
It is very trying, but positive parenting affirmations can help to settle you and keep you in a positive mindset.
