Take Good Care of Yourself

November 5, 2007 by GreatDad Writers Leave a Comment

Being a parent is important. But you are more than a mother or a
father. You must take good care of yourself. That way, you’ll be able to take
good care of your baby. What should you do to take care of yourself? Well,
think about how you take care of your baby.

  • You want your baby to be healthy. Keep yourself healthy, too. Eat
    healthy foods. Take walks. Exercise. Get enough rest. Get regular
    medical and dental checkups.
  • You want your baby to learn. Keep your mind active. Read a
    magazine or a book. Learn new things. Try making a new recipe.
  • You want your baby to learn how to talk. You need to talk to others,
    too. You need to talk to other adults. Take time to talk and listen to
    your spouse, family and friends.
  • You want your baby to be safe. You need to practice safety, too.
    Always wear your seat belt when driving. Always wear a bicycle
    helmet when riding. They will protect you. Later, your baby will
    learn to wear them, too. You need to practice safety to set an
    example for your baby.
  • You want your baby to enjoy life. You should, too. Listen to music.
    Do something creative. Do something fun. Stress may be a part of
    your life. Taking time for yourself will help you handle the stress
    better.
