It is very difficult to work and raise a child at the same time, especially if you are a single parent. There are times when all you want to do is to give up. But no matter what, it is still your responsibility to be the parent. Trying to balance work and raising a child is a challenge, so what every mom needs is patience, a strong sense of humour, determination and consistency.
In order to cope up with work and your little ones, you should always be consistent no matter how stressful your day is. Practice good time management skills and prepare everything for the next day. No matter how tired you are, as a mother, you should always find time to talk and play with your baby, even for few minutes. Babies and toddlers need more attention, love and supervision because this is the age of curiosity, and they need the assistance of their parents to feel that they are safe. Always make every mealtime for toddlers exciting by eating together and talking with them. Always recognise the child’s efforts and give praise and encouragement.
Remember also to give yourself a break, take some time to rest and relax after a long day of work and taking care of the baby. Make sure that shouldering responsibilities won’t make you weak. Always stay healthy, and make sure your baby stays healthy as well. Be patient, don’t take things seriously and see the humour in things.
