Parenthood and Creativity – Staying Creative As a Parent
Everyone who has children knows that life after birth (or adoption) is dramatically different and changes you as a person. People often talk about the sleepless nights, the nappies and the financial cost of having children but often the biggest and most dramatic changes that occur are not ones you can see at all but changes to how we see ourselves and our place in the world.
We all strive to find a balance that suits us between work and parenthood and some of us may even succeed, but often it can be time to indulge your interests and creativity that suffers the most in this balancing act. I would argue that for many of us, this is an area of our lives we can derive the most satisfaction and pleasure from and should therefore be prioritised.
