Q: I got married right out of college. Four years later, I have two demanding toddlers and an art degree that means nothing. Meanwhile, my single friends have successful graphic design careers and constantly post about their work and exotic travels. I love my children, but I must admit that I am jealous and discouraged. How can I move on from the artistic dreams I once had?
Your working medium may not be paint, clay or an iPad but you are sculpting character and impacting impressionable young lives every day. Remember, being a mum is a high calling, and do not lose sight of the lives you shape, which has more value than any painting or sculpture. Some of your successful friends may even be envious of the fulfilment you find in your role.
First, determine if any recent changes at home or kindergarten could have sparked these fears. Ask your daughter what is scary to her – what she sees, hears or feels in the dark and what would help her feel safe.
