[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't label myself low energy, but I don't believe in intensive parenting or taking on more than I can handle. Fighting the intensive parenting trend takes a lot of effort. You can't just ignore it, but you can recognize it for what it is (anxiety over living in failing society) and responding according to that. Which for me is not letting anxiety run the show. How do I handle it? I take walks. Lots and lots of walks. When I feel mentally well, things fall into place. I'm going through a really happy period. I have three kids and I work a job that I can get done in about 35 hours per week. My kids all have activities but we limit the number. One kid would probably do an every day activity if we could afford it, but we can't, so we don't. [/quote]
