The Wheel of Life is a coaching and self-assessment tool developed by Paul J. Meyer in the 1960s, popularised by the Success Motivation Institute and Leadership Management International.

It features a circle divided into eight to ten segments that represent key life areas such as Family & Parenting, Health, Career, and Personal Growth. Users rate their satisfaction in each area on a scale from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 10 (fully satisfied).

By plotting these ratings, individuals can visually identify imbalances in their lives. A balanced shape suggests harmony, while uneven segments indicate areas needing improvement. This tool helps users reflect, set goals, and achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Journaling is a powerful tool for self-reflection and emotional growth. It helps parents:

• Process feelings and make sense of daily experiences

• Reduce stress by releasing thoughts onto paper

• Cultivate self-compassion through mindful writing

By writing regularly, you create space for clarity and kindness toward yourself. Each prompt in this book is an invitation to slow

down, breathe, and reconnect with your inner strength.

The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) is a widely used self-assessment tool designed to measure the positive and negative effects of working in helping professions, particularly those exposed to trauma and stress. It is highly relevant to compassion fatigue because it helps individuals understand how their caring responsibilities may impact their well-being.
