What is CosyChats.com

Why I chose CosyChats.com. 

What is Cosychats?

A groundbreaking and innovative new service, run for parents, by parents, Cosychats.com is a new online support service website for families. Created from the ground up to be a safe space for parents, but also easily accessible to busy caregivers.  

How to bond and create childhood memories with your child

By booking a flexible online appointment on Cosychats.com with a parent that has been where you are now, you can talk without judgement and vent how you feel while getting practical real-world advice. The topics you might need help with are wide and varied, covering everything from adjusting to your changed identity as a new parent to worries about social media and the challenges of adolescence.  

Being an Adoptive Parent REALITY CHECK!

As a parent to a teenage boy myself, I feel incredibly proud and fortunate to be part of the CosyChats community. 

Writing for the site about the wide range of parenting challenges and assisting other parents has only reinforced for me what a desert the support environment is. 

Parent Support and Help

When taking into account factors such as parents needing to schedule in getting help around busy lives and struggling to afford any help in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, it is clear the benefits of an online support hub, run by parents. 

 

Why is Cosychats.com so important for Parents 

  Before becoming a parent, like most people, I had no idea of the upheaval and challenges involved in the process. It is a very consuming experience, and it is easy to feel swallowed up by it, losing all sense of your old self. 

Is WhatsApp SAFE for KIDS? Even when a parent is fortunate to find someone to share how they feel, there may be many shortcomings in getting the kind of help they need. 

Anybody who has had therapy themselves will know that a great deal of its power is in its anonymity. It is incredibly liberating to vent how you feel without consequences or feeling judged. 

The outcomes for our next generation of young people are closely  tied to the well-being of their parents - so I feel it is in no way selfish of them, or trivial for me to offer help to other parents, and that it should be normal for overwhelmed parents to seek it. 

When CAHMS fails you what do you do Often as young parents you may also feel that the focus is all on your child and that you are expected to feel fortunate so long as they are OK. No matter what is happening to you. 

This can only make parents bottle up how they feel further, making things worse. 

Even on a most basic level, as a parent you may be reluctant to share to avoid the judgement of being a bad parent or feel like you aren't doing as well as other families. 

Other parents and relatives may have their own struggles and although people that care about you will always gladly listen, there comes a point where you worry about boundaries and that it might ruin your friendships or relationships. This is another plus-point to sharing how you feel anonymously with another experienced parent.  Is YOUR Child a BULLY?

As your child gets older, issues like social media, toxic masculinity, bullying and the changes of adolescence can all be bewildering to parents without easily accessible external wisdom. 

How to learn - The power of sport to teach children

There are also many topics that parents are reluctant to talk about, for fear of the consequences of even just mentioning them, for fear of being seen as a failure as a parent, or for fear of getting their child in some kind of trouble. They may also worry about becoming the topic of idle gossip. 

This is why I see the great importance of working on a platform like CosyChats. I can remember how it felt to be in the deep end of the parenting experience and yet still feel stigma and judgement in asking for help. That as parents, we should be completely selfless at all times.   

I can understand the overwhelming timetable of a young child, so I know the flexibility of an online platform can bring to this problem, and the reassurance of knowing help is here. 

I know the relief that comes in sharing, and that venting can immediately lower the weight a parent feels they are carrying alone. 

 

 

Why you should choose me 

 

I feel my own parenting journey has some rare aspects as well as the other components that every parent goes through. 

My circumstances meant I was a stay home father, so I know first-hand how it feels to parent fulltime, and also the unique difficulties such as being one of the only dads on a playground surrounded by mums. I know the difficulties in fitting parenting around the other demands of your life and how it feels to be a hands-on dad in a world where fathers are often expected to take the back seat. 

You will find me here, offering practical support, emotional assistance and a patient listening ear. 

 

When I have the chance to offer advice to other parents through CosyChats.com. I am often surprised when I realise how much, in humility, I have learned on my child-rearing journey. 

CosyChats for me is an opportunity to offer other parents the empathy, knowledge, encouragement and guidance that only someone that has actually been there can relate to - as the best experts are often the ones with recent lived experience. 

 

Many times, in life, when someone has shared a problem with me, I am proud to say that I remain calm and listen carefully. Only when I feel I had truly heard what they are trying to tell me, and after they feel their burden is somewhat lessened - would I offer any advice. I feel I am someone outwardly caring with plenty of empathy and these traits are well suited to CosyChats.com 

 

I know when to listen and when to speak, always with warmth and compassion.  

For many of the parenting problems you might face, I have genuinely been there - often more than once. 

Because I have had my hard moments being a parent, and hard moments in life, I feel that I’m genuinely not judging people. I know that unless you have been in their situations, or still even then - you don’t have the right to. 

 

Sparing other parents that come to the role after me from tackling some of the minefield of childcare alone is a very rewarding use of my time. I can only hope to make the experience emotionally and practically easier for other families compared to my own experience. 

I still remember the times that I felt overwhelmed, wondering if it would ever get easier and all the time, I just needed experienced guidance, without judgement. 

The chance to help someone and even listen to someone that is in a similar position to me is very validating, rewarding, and deeply affirming. Although I have specific life experience as a stay home dad. In a world where they often take a backseat. I have the empathy and life skills to help people, especially those people on a parenting journey. 

 

Parenting is not a fixed experience, and it evolves, I think especially for me as a full-time dad, and I approach it in ways differently from how I was raised or even from how just even one generation ago. 

New challenges require new approaches, and it is talking to someone that has been there; it becomes so much easier. This is why I chose to work with CosyChats.
