Happy parents = happy kids
Hola, your Ibiza Mamacita here! Bubbly and excited as ever I'd like to remind you that Valentine’s Day isn’t just for starry-eyed teens or child-free couples. Parents deserve romance too! Yes, even when you have kids, you still matter. I’m totally smitten with my daughter, but I learned that by taking time to nurture my relationship with my partner, I’m also showing my little one how to love and how to be loved. It’s a win-win!
Still, sometimes I catch other parents throwing me judgmental looks, as if to say, “Focus on your child!” Little do they know, it’s actually part of our chosen child’s education—because us having fun is crucial for our kid’s growth too. Although this may seem like it’s all fun and games, it’s really about not forgetting yourself and nurturing the love you share.
Don’t believe me? Here’s what Scientific Research Says: The Gottman Institute’s work on marital satisfaction also highlights how kids living in households where parents ar loving parents to each-other develop a stronger sense of security. And how conversely, over-focusing on your child can actually create pressure for them—kids can feel overwhelmed when they sense their parents’ entire world revolves around them. The Journal of Family Psychology has found that a clearly positive relationship between parents or pure self-love of a parent is linked to better emotional regulation and social skills in children. (So don’t forget: you’re allowed to enjoy life, too!)
So so often, I see busy mamas (and papas) hustling around, forgetting that they also need a moment. Your kiddo will be thrilled if you’re happy—trust me on this one. And if you’re rolling your eyes at the Valentine’s Day hype, why not flip it around and use it as an excuse for a fabulous date night? We’ve even got a free babysitter list for you—so no excuses there! Hand the little munchkins over to a pro and whisk your partner away to these scrumptious Valentine’s Day specials around Ibiza:
