Why Me-Time for Parents Isn’t a Luxury, but a Necessity

Discover why self-care is essential for parents to prevent burnout — and how the Carello app helps you easily plan and find time for yourself.

What Is Self-Care and Why Is It Important for Parents?

Self-care means taking good care of yourself by consciously setting aside time to relax, enjoy hobbies, move your body, or simply do nothing at all. Research by the Trimbos Institute (2024) shows that parents who practice regular self-care experience less stress and are better equipped to handle daily pressures. This leads to improved mood, more energy and resilience, better relationships with children and partners, and helps prevent burnout.
