I just want to say-

- [Elmo] Daddy!

Can you help Elmo make a pillow fort, please?

- Just a second, Elmo, I'll be right there, son.

You know it is wonderful to get to spend

so much time with our children.

But, (exhaling loudly)

it can also be a bit overwhelming.

But I just wanted to say,

parents, you are doing an amazing job, mm-hm.

Remember though, it's important

to take some time for yourself.

You know, take care of you.

You can listen to your favorite song,

and stretch, or just take a moment to breathe.

You know what, come on,

breathe with me right now, huh?

Take a slow deep breath in.

(inhaling)

And then breathe out.

(exhaling)

(chuckling) Feels good, huh?

We are all doing the best we can,

and that is okay.

No, no, it's better than okay.

It's (laughing).

- [Elmo] Daddy, daddy, daddy!

- (laughing) Okay, son, I'm coming.

It looks like I have to go.

Time to make a pillow fort.

You hang in there and keep up the great work.
