The 5 Key Needs for Parental Well-Being

As the head of a family, it is more than necessary to create an environment of support and kindness, and to ensure one's well-being in order to maintain a balance in personal and family life .

While the usual stereotypes associated with Heads of Households, often depicted as overworked, overwhelmed mothers, lack nuance and fail to provide realistic role models for modern families, we want to offer you a more balanced portrayal of these parents who are responsible, aware of their priorities, and capable of having fun .

So, here are five key needs of heads of households to maintain their well-being and which should ideally be ensured to be met :

Psychological safety : being able to be yourself, without fear of judgment

Sharing interests and passions : having spaces to express your creativity and share your passions

Physical and psychological help : receiving support to alleviate fatigue and stress

Fun and relaxation : having moments to relax and have fun

Exploration and learning : getting out of the routine and exposing yourself to new experiences

We therefore encourage you to be proactive in seeking out and creating support networks that meet these diverse needs , and to build communities where you feel seen, heard and respected as a whole .
