Why Parenting Feels Like Piloting a Plane

Early in my career, I worked with professionals responsible for the safety of large groups of people in physically and emotionally demanding roles. Many struggled to adjust, and my role was to diagnose and prevent burnout. Interestingly, those who were parents often said their job was the second hardest role they’d ever had—after parenting.

Why would pilots and crew captains of intercontinental flights compare their high-stakes jobs to parenting? As a parent and a therapist, I can confidently say the comparison is apt. Parents, like pilots, must know their destination, adapt to ever-changing circumstances, and maintain the well-being of their “crew” (their family). They juggle budgets, emotions, and responsibilities, all while making decisions that impact their children’s lives.

Parenting is a lifelong journey that demands resilience, patience, and adaptability. And for many, it can take a significant toll.

The Challenges of Parenting: Losing Yourself in the Role

One of the most common struggles I hear from parents is the loss of their sense of identity. One father of two teenagers once told me, “I know I’m supposed to feel enriched by parenting, but I feel like I’m losing myself. I can hardly recognize the yelling, ill-tempered person I’ve become. Where is my sense of humor? I can keep my cool at work, but at home, I become someone else.”

Parenting brings out the best and worst in us. It’s a role that never ends, and the challenges can feel overwhelming. That’s why I offer parental counseling in various forms—individual, group, ongoing, and crisis support—as well as occasional “tune-ups” for parents who need guidance during particularly tough times.

Our Approach to Parenting Therapists

At Tema Therapy, we understand that every family is unique. Our parenting therapists use evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and family systems therapy, to help you:

  • Improve Communication: Learn strategies to connect with your children and partner effectively.
  • Manage Behavioral Issues: Address tantrums, defiance, and other challenges with proven techniques.
  • Reduce Stress: Develop coping mechanisms to handle the pressures of parenting.
  • Strengthen Family Bonds: Foster a nurturing and supportive home environment.

Home-Based Parental Counseling: A Unique Approach

Many parenting challenges begin when children are very young. However, observing parent-child interactions in a clinical setting can feel artificial and uninformative. That’s why I offer home visits for families with young children. By observing routines, environment, and the parent-child bond in their natural setting, I can provide tailored recommendations to support healthy development and strengthen family dynamics.

Common Issues Addressed in Parental Counseling

  • Behavioral Challenges: Managing tantrums, defiance, and other behavioral issues.
  • Co-Parenting: Supporting separated or divorced parents in creating a harmonious co-parenting relationship.
  • Parent-Child Conflict: Resolving misunderstandings and improving communication.
  • Parental Burnout: Providing tools to manage stress and avoid burnout.
  • Teen Parenting: Navigating the unique challenges of raising teenagers.
