Mom wants to rest too

2025/8/19 Edited to

... Read more育児に追われていると、毎日頑張らなければと自分にプレッシャーをかけてしまいがちです。私もかつては、朝から身支度をしなければと思い込んでいましたが、そんな日もあります。例えば「外出したくない」「今日は誰とも話したくない」と感じることは自然なことです。 この記事で紹介されている「ママだってイヤイヤ期10選」には、家事をサボりたい日やSNSを見たくない日など、具体的な例があり、とても共感できます。私の場合、特に「ただゴロゴロしていたい」日があると、その日は無理せずゆっくり過ごすことで気持ちがリセットされました。これにより翌日からまた頑張る力が湧いてきます。 また、周囲の目を気にせず「誰にも褒められたくない」日があってもいいんです。自分の気持ちを大切にして、休むことも育児の一部だと理解することで、自己肯定感も上がります。 実際に私も、イヤイヤ期のサインを見逃さず、自分に優しくする時間を設けることで、育児のストレスが軽減され、子どもにも優しく接することができました。皆さんもこの記事を参考に、無理しすぎず自分の心と体をケアしてみてくださいね。
