Being a parent at any stage comes with challenges and we never know when somebody could be in need of encouraging words.
Here is a list of supportive comments to help parents feel validated and uplifted. 

1. "You’re doing an amazing job, even if it doesn’t feel like it."
2. "I remember struggling with that phase, how are you coping with it?" 
3. "Your children are so lucky to have you." 
4. "You’re doing better than you think you are." 
5. "Do you need a break?"
6. "It’s okay if you don’t love every moment." 
7. "You are not alone." 

​May we make a conscious effort to support each other. If you see a fellow mom struggling (we all have been there before and know what it looks like), consider using one of the phrases from this list. It’s amazing how only a few simple words can improve somebody’s day.
