Tips for Parenting with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Parenting is hard at first – but rewarding. Add a chronic condition like RA to the mix, and that delicate balance between your self-care and your role as a parent can easily get lost. These tips and strategies can help you get through difficult days, manage your energy, and make meaningful memories with your family.
I was recently interviewed for the WebMD article below, which provides tips for parenting while living with rheumatoid arthritis. Although the article focuses on RA, many of the tips mentioned would apply to other chronic diseases as well!
I’ve always believed that parents with chronic illness deserved more recognition and support – that’s why I started Mamas Facing Forward in the first place! So it’s exciting to see this topic being addressed in a more mainstream health publication. Hopefully this article will help other parents realize they are not alone – and find their way to us where we can continue to support them!
