Raising a child is not a sprint of good weeks strung together, it is a project measured in decades. This is the long view: why the early exhaustion tricks parents into treating every stage like an emergency, how to build routines that hold up over years, where to spend energy that actually compounds, and how to pace yourself so you are still steady when the teenage years arrive. Grounded, patient, and built for the whole stretch ahead.
