Modern Parenting: A Guide to Juggling Work, Family & Well-being

  Hello everyone, Well, it’s been a week, hasn’t it?! I've been busy with what seems like a thousand different things, not least of all raising a toddler who, for some reason, has taken to calling me ‘Elsa’. The chaos is real, and it’s a constant reminder that balancing a professional life with an engaged family life feels like a high-wire act, and it’s a performance that requires continuous adjustment and a sense of humour. As I’ve heard it said: you don’t find balance once and then stay there; you find it all the time. I’ve spent the last few weeks thinking about modern parenting. It’s a job that seems to come with more challenges and pressures than ever before. We're expected to be experts in everything from digital safety to emotional literacy, all while juggling our own careers and well-being. So, I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on some of these key areas, drawing on my own experiences as a teacher and, now, as a parent.
