7 Simple Ways Parents Can Celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week 2022
If it were up to us, every week would be Teacher Appreciation Week!
Every teacher is unique, whether they are …
We know you’re exhausted.
Beyond exhausted.
The struggle is real.
But we’d never know it from the outside because you wear it so well.
Motherhood is like a triathlon that has no finish line. You keep running it over and over again. Every. Single. Day. Forget preparing for an Ironman, you’re an Iron Mom!
We are your partners, children, siblings, friends, and colleagues. We see your triumphs, failures, and the mundane middle ground.
And even if we have a front-row seat to your mothering main event, we still don’t quite know how you do it. How you make everything look easier than it actually is. How you can be so efficient, responsible, and loving… at all times.
Modern life is hectic and challenging for all of us, with competing demands on our time and attention at seemingly every turn. As difficult as many people may have it, moms like you typically deal with a whole different level of stress and organized chaos in your daily lives.
The 24/7 reality of the job hits all parents, no doubt, but the strain has been and continues to be more acute for all you moms out there. Every household is different, of course, but the research still bears this out.
Whether you’re a working mom or not, you are always working and juggling the considerable full-time responsibilities of being a parent.
We want you to know that we appreciate your tireless contributions more than you may realize.
While moms like you should be celebrated throughout the year for everything you do, Mother’s Day provides a moment to pause and reflect on the impact you’ve had on our lives.
As an Upwards team, we’d like to share some Mother’s Day thoughts to show our appreciation:
When we’re young, it’s difficult to understand and fully appreciate everything a parent does for us. That level of comprehension changes over time and as adults, we may finally start to understand the extraordinary sacrifices, attention to detail, and sleepless nights that it took to raise us.
Mothers like you do invaluable work all the time, with every game played, meal prepped, birthday planned, and curiosity piqued.
Even though parenting is the toughest job many of us will ever have, we also know it is the most rewarding, fulfilling, and uplifting endeavor we can undertake, too. There is nothing quite like raising a child and we marvel at the love you share with your family.
Parenting has been and always will be an emotional roller coaster, with incredibly low lows immediately followed by ridiculously high highs, along with everything in between. While no one has a perfect record in this grand game of child-rearing, we’d like to tip our caps to you for everything you’ve accomplished so far and the wins that still lie ahead.
