Support systems are helpful from "summary" of Working Parents, Thriving Families by David J Palmiter
Support systems are like the safety net that catches us when we stumble or fall. They provide a sense of security and comfort, knowing that we are not alone in facing life's challenges. When we have support systems in place, we are better equipped to handle the daily stresses and responsibilities that come with being a working parent. Support systems can take many forms, such as family, friends, colleagues, or professional services. These are the people or resources we can turn to for guidance, advice, or simply a listening ear. They offer us encouragement and validation, helping us to feel understood and supported in our struggles. Having a strong support system can also help us to maintain a healthy work-life balance. When we have people we can rely on to help out with childcare, household tasks, or emotional support, we are better able to focus on our work when we are at work and be present for our families when we are at home. In times of crisis or when facing major life changes, support systems can be a lifeline. They can offer practical help, such as meal delivery or assistance with childcare, as well as emotional support to help us cope with the stress and uncertainty that comes with challenging situations. By nurturing our support systems and being willing to reach out for help when we need it, we can create a strong foundation for our families to thrive. We can build a network of people who care about our well-being and who are willing to lend a helping hand when we need it most. In turn, we can also offer our support to others, creating a reciprocal relationship that benefits everyone involved.
