What: We discuss the impact of stress on parenting and how societal expectations, technology usage, and self-comparison can exacerbate stress levels in parents.

📵 Limit screen time to reclaim time for healthier activities like exercise and nature walks.

🧘‍♀️ Practice gratitude by appreciating current achievements rather than comparing to others.
