There's a crisis of confidence in mothering today. Moms are
speeding through 18 hour days, exhausted in a frenzied
effort to do it all for their kids. The soccer practices,
test-prep lessons, special rehearsals, extra homework, the
competition, unending struggle to insure that their child
succeeds -- it's overwhelming, and actually toxic, often
resulting in children who are stressed out, bullies or
bullied, rebellious, ruthless, depressed, anxious,
overweight or anorexic -- freaked out! So what's wrong with
this picture? Michele Borba, herself a wise mom of three
grown sons, has surveyed literally thousands of mothers
across North America and in this book shows how to have
happier, more confident kids with good character by
relaxing, slowing down, throwing out all the unnecessary
stress and pressure, and returning to a more natural,
authentic kind of mothering. She has discovered and
formulated 12 simple secrets of successful moms, showing us
how a mother who laughs teaches joy, a mother who loves
teaches worth, a mother who takes care of herself holds
together her happy family, a mother who encourages
independence cultivates self-reliance, a mother who just
listens shows her children they really matter, and much
more. Each chapter includes a powerful and inspiring story
of how these secrets play out in real life, as well as
Michele's exceptionally practical strategies, step-by-step
guidelines, activities and advice so moms can actually apply
the lessons of the stories to their own family lives.
Reading the stories and learning the lessons will help all
mothers calm down, be happier, return to their natural
intuition, and create more joy, balance, and love in their
families.
