Brief description
In this book, you will find ten chapters written in a practical style that focus on everyday life with your children and that will help you be a better mother. You will see that it's not about fulfilling the cliché of a perfect supermum, but about becoming the mother your children need without neglecting your own needs.
The chapters include educational methods for: setting loving boundaries, providing praise and criticism correctly; showing love for your child in an understandable way; avoiding burnout, mindfulness as a mother, gratitude; ways to avoid shouting, accepting consequences, bringing your own gifts into motherhood, and more.
As a teacher and mother of three children, the author, Selina Langenscheid, treats the topics competently, empathetically, within a manageable framework. For her, loving and mindful contact with children is the highest commandment.
Loaded with many examples derived from her own experiences and practical help, this book can also make your life as a mother easier and more fulfilling; written in a personal style, reading is easy, and the content is understandable and easy to implement. In addition, questions and tasks are found at the end of each chapter along with space to chart your responses, personal insights, goals, etc. which transforms this book into a very personal workbook that helps you learn and put into practice the ideas and methods found therein.
