Tips for New Mothers, Avoiding Parent Burn Out and More...

Striving for Balance involves ensuring that everyone's needs -- not just the child's -- are recognized, validated, and met to the greatest extent possible.

In the real world, nobody's family life is perfectly balanced all the time. It is not unusual for parents to feel out of balance at times. Parents who practice AP continuously look for creative ways to find balance in their personal and family life. For more information, read the API resources listed below.

Ummu Ilham Notes:

Newbie dlm dunia menjadi ibu ni memerlukan lebih sokongan moral dan fizikal. Memang penat lelah boleh hilang apabila kerja itu di hargai biarpun dgn sedikit pujian atau penghargaan. Kadang-kadang expectation yg terlalu tinggi membuatkan new mum drained out...ye la nk buat semua benda dgn kudrat yg sedikit..
Sbb tu pentingnya sokongan moral drp mereka yg disekeliling..insya'allah
