The work of childcare requires that we incorporate and integrate self-care at every step and in every context, yet this titration can be tricky. What helps you toggle between meeting your own needs and meeting the needs of children?

[image description: A large frigatebird with wings splayed wide open and a bright red throat pouch rests on a branch among a bramble of leafy branches and above a downy fledgling in a nest.

The frigate is having the anthropomorphic thought, "You must learn to rest in the needs of children."]
