HTML: The ultimate must-read handbook for the modern mother: a practical, and positive tool to help free women from the debilitating notion of being the "perfect mom," filled with funny and all too relatable true-life stories and realistic suggestions to stop the burnout cycle, and protect our kids from the damage burnout can cause. Moms, do you feel tired? Overwhelmed? Have you continually put off the things you need to do for you? Do you feel like it's all worth it because your kids are happy? Are you "over" being a mother? If you answered yes to these questions, you're not alone. Parents today want to create the ideal childhood for their children. Women strive to be the picture-perfect Pinterest mother that looks amazing, hosts the best birthday parties in town, posts the most "liked" photos, and serves delicious, nutritious home-cooked meals in her neat, organized home after ferrying the kids to school and a host of extracurricular activities on time. This drive, while noble, can also be destructive, causing stress and anxiety that leads to "mommy burnout." Psychologist and family counselor Dr. Sheryl Ziegler is well-versed in the stress that moms face, and the burden of guilt they carry because they often feel like they aren't doing enough for their kids' happiness. A mother of three herself, Dr. Zâ??as she's affectionately known by her many patientsâ??recognizes and understands that modern moms are all too often plagued by exhaustion, failure, isolation, self-doubt, and a general lack of self-love, and their families are also feeling the effects, too. Over the last nineteen years working with families and children, Dr. Z has devised a prescriptive program for addressing "mommy burnout"â??teaching moms that they can learn to re-energize themselves and still feel good about their families and their lives. In this warm and empathetic guide, she examines this modern epidemic among mothers who put their children's happiness above their own, and offers empowering, proven solutions for alleviating this condition, saving marriages and keeping kids happy in the proc Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Thanks to reading this book, I reached out to a few girlfriends and reignited friendships I'd let lapse because I thought I was "too busy" to keep up with them. Now I understand that those kinds of relationships are critical to my ability to parent well. It also really helps to be reminded that when I suffer, my child suffers, too. She learns so much about life by watching me, including how to cope with stress.
I wish the book had more specific suggestions for dealing with mommy burnout when it happens. Still, I also acknowledge that every mom, and every family, is different.
Ultimately, Dr. Ziegler points out that investing in self-care, having a handful of good mom friends, cultivating a sense of purpose, and being present for your child are the keys to unlocking good mental health - and a good parenting experience. And that was precisely the message I needed. (
