Many parents quietly believe that needing help means they’re failing.

In this episode of Parent Like a Psychologist, I gently challenge that idea and offer a much healthier reframe: getting support isn’t giving up – it’s showing up for yourself and your child.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for asking for help, struggled to do everything on your own, or worried that seeking support means you “should be coping better,” this episode is for you.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Why so many parents believe they should cope alone
  
• How modern parenting has moved away from shared support and community
  
• Why strong parents don’t do it all by themselves
  
• How getting support improves your child’s wellbeing, not just your own
  
• Why support isn’t about fixing your child – it’s about strengthening the whole family
  
• A powerful mindset shift that can reduce stress and increase confidence
  

This episode is especially relevant for parents of neurodivergent children or kids who seem to need more support than others. Parenting is harder when you feel isolated, and it becomes much more manageable when you feel understood and guided.

A Gentle Question to Reflect On

What would change for you if you saw getting support as a strength, not a failure?

This episode isn’t about strategies or tools. It’s about changing how you think about support – and how that shift alone can bring more calm and confidence into your family.

You Were Never Meant to Do This Alone

Parenting was never meant to be a solo effort. Getting support doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It means you care deeply about doing things well – and sustainably.

You don’t have to carry everything on your own.
