| | | The holidays can be a particularly stressful time, especially for parents. I, for one, am happy they’re over. It’s exhausting planning meals, buying boatloads of gifts, and managing the expectations of little (and large) humans, among so many other things. Though I’m incredibly grateful for each and every opportunity and holiday moment, I’m tired.
But when you’re a parent, the idea of recharging — or, more pointedly, practicing self-care — can seem pretty laughable. How are you supposed to “do self-care” when you’re so busy taking care of everyone else?
That’s why earlier this week, HuffPost Parents launched a new editorial package for January called Self-Care Is Good Parenting. Think of it as a gentle post-holiday reset. Through these stories, we’ll dive into ways to help you get as much unnecessary work off your plate as possible; help you lean into wellness in a way that doesn’t make it feel like another stressful addition to your to-do list; and examine what “me time” looks like when you truly have no time to spare and can’t stomach throwing $20 an hour at a babysitter so you can go out.
Not a parent? These tips are pretty great for you, too! |

And a new study shows that’s true even for women delivering children in the same hospital. The culprit? Implicit bias and systemic racism. Reporter Catherine Pearson spoke with the study’s author to learn more about the study and what it means, more broadly, about America. |
