You might think Prince William and Princess Kate are free from parenting stress because of their royal status, but the couple also goes through challenges when it comes to raising their two children. William and Kate recently imparted some tips and tricks for handling stress associated with parenting.
The parents of 3-year-old Prince George and 1-year-old Princess Charlotte visited the charity organization Young Minds in London this week and commended its efforts to improve parents' mental health. The charity offers a helpline for parents in need and is part of a mental health campaign called Heads Together, which was spearheaded by William, Kate, and Prince Harry.
Kate admitted that like other parents, she and William "face worries" especially in regards to their small children, People reported. The 34-year-old royal mom said there can be "really difficult" times in parenting.
William, 34, said parents should accept that they "can't be brilliant at everything" and it's alright to talk about their problems with mental health aids. He said parents feel a lot of pressure that are mostly self-made, forcing them to think that they should handle everything that comes their way.
William stressed that not everyone are "superheroes" even though moms and dads show strength and resilience. There will come a time when the stress becomes too much and parents would need help from experts.
While visiting teenagers at the Youthscape project in Luton, Kate revealed that George tries his hand at baking, though it can be really messy and chaotic most of the time, according to a separate report from People. Aside from baking, Kate said the toddler also loves spaghetti and likes getting really messy while eating them.
George and Charlotte will accompany their parents in Canada, though details about the family of four's trip are still being kept under wraps so far. According to Vanity Fair's Royal Watch, the trip will majorly focus on nature and the outdoors, involving hiking, walking, kayaking, and other outdoor activities.
The places that the royal family would visit are British Columbia, Vancouver, Yukon, the Great Bear rainforest, and Canada's First Nation communities. The Canada visit was Charlotte's first overseas trip, but it's not the first time for George.
In 2014, the then-one-year-old boy was brought along to New Zealand and Australia by his parents, The Independent reported. George, however, was left behind along with his sister during the royal couple's trip to India in April. Kate said George can be "too naughty" and he would have run "all over the place," while Charlotte was considered to be too young for such a journey.
