JUDGEMENTS

When dealing with judgment from others…

TRUST your intuition

ONLY listen to and ask advice from people you really want to hear from

REMEMBER others often ‘decide’ they know the full picture

Feelings of judgement can lead to parenting loneliness

To combat this:

  • Increase your self care and compassion (be kind to yourself).

  • Be brave, if you are invited out, go even if you are terrified.

  • Create a support system.

  • Tell people how you feel.

  • Ask your health visitor for help.

  • Join groups.

  • Start a new hobby.

  • Set yourself small intentions every day.
