Being a Mom. How to Calm Down, Find Support, and Find Happiness in Motherhood

Who is the "perfect mom"? The one who balances raising children and a successful career, maintains a cozy home, is always full of energy, and looks great? No, this is just an image created by advertising, social media bloggers, and... strange traditions from the past. Attempts to conform to this image take away a tremendous amount of moral and emotional strength from a woman, provoke burnout, and even depression. Educator and parenting consultant Susanna Mirau conducted a large-scale study and talked to many women about what "being a mom" means to them. Her recommendations will help you understand what is personally important for you, cope with stress, and learn to enjoy motherhood. Because there is no such thing as a "perfect mom"! FROM THIS BOOK YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO: - understand how the image of a mother has been shaped over the decades; - not to forget about your own needs and desires; - get rid of others' unrealistic expectations and become the mom you can and want to be.
