Am I Ready To Be A Parent?
Deciding to parent is likely one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in your life. It can create many emotions: fear, worry, excitement, happiness, and more.
Parenting can also be a tremendous challenge, especially if you’re a first-time parent and wondering whether you’ll do well in this role.
Ask yourself the following questions as you consider the parenting option:
- Am I financially, emotionally, and physically prepared to parent?
- Do I have a strong support system?
- What would I be most worried about parenting? Is there anything that excites me?
- What resources would I need to be a good parent?
