A practical piece of advice from the chapter is for parents to actively incorporate regular breaks and self-care into their routines. This involves negotiating with co-parents, family, and community caregivers to facilitate these breaks without guilt. The expected result is a more balanced individual who can engage with their children positively and effectively, countering the narrative that self-sacrifice is synonymous with good parenting. This tip is particularly pivotal in preventing parent burnout and maintaining a nurturing environment for children.
