I found myself on a merry go round- up, down, going round and round with school, activites, work, meals and then starting the next day all over again. I would hear about my friends child or my neighbors who was in a travel team or recital and I would wonder if my kids needed to do that too, so would add it on. I kept adding more and more to keep up with 'the Jones' and my kids and our family got busier and busier. The thing was that not only did this make me feel stressed out, but my kids were overwhelmed in anxious too. Until one day, my daughter just said - 'No more' and didn't want to do anything. I started to realize that the go-go culture of parenting was not only not helping my kids and family but harming us. And that's when I realized I needed to find a different way, and RESET my family.
