Should I stop comparing myself to others?

The short answer is yes… but we know it’s hard. When you start comparing yourself and your child to others, negative thoughts can creep in easily and make you feel bad about yourself as a parent.  Don’t forget that what people show on social media is only a small and happy snapshot of their lives. You might find that talking to your support network will put it all into perspective, and you’ll have a few less doubts. It’s hard at times to be a confident parent, but you'll soon feel confident with a bit of practice and support.
