11 Steps to Keep Her Happy, Healthy, and Safe

Raising a Strong Daughter in a Toxic Culture

This sanity-saving guide “offers practical ways to help you let go of ‘mom guilt’ in order to become a happier, healthier woman” (Parent & Child). Now with wellness tips and exercises! The pressure on women today has pushed many American mothers to the breaking point. It feels as if “doing your best” is never enough to please everyone, and the demands mothers place on themselves are both impossible and unrealistic. Now Meg Meeker, M.D., critically acclaimed author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, puts her twenty-five years’ experience as a practicing pediatrician and counselor into a sound, sane approach to reshaping the frustrating, exhausting lives of so many moms. Mothers are expected to do it all: raise superstar kids, look great, make good salaries, volunteer for everything, run errands, keep a perfect house, be the perfect wife. Single mothers often have even more demands—and less support. In this rallying cry for change, Dr. Meeker incorporates clinical data and her own experience raising four children to show why mothers suffer from the rising pressure to excel and the toll it takes on their emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health. Too many mothers are increasingly lonely, anxious, depressed, and unhappy with themselves, refusing to let themselves off the hook. Here, Dr. Meeker has identified the 10 most positive habits of mothers who are healthy, happy, and fulfilled. The key is to embrace a new perspective and create real joy and purpose by utilizing such core habits as • making friends with those who know the meaning of friendship • finding out what money can buy (and what it cannot) • lightening the overload—and doing less more often • discovering faith and learning how to trust it • taking some alone time and reviving yourself Mothers, it’s time to view the unconditional trust that you see in your children’s eyes when they take your hand or find your face in a crowd as a mirror of your own wonder and worth. You are the light that shines in their lives, the beacon that guides them. By implementing the key strategies in Dr. Meeker’s book, you can be happy, hopeful, and a wonderful role model. You can teach your children to be the very best they can be—and isn’t that still the most precious reward of motherhood?

«Papà, vorrei che ti guardassi con gli occhi di tua figlia. E non solo per il suo bene, ma per il tuo, perché se riuscissi a vederti come ti vede lei, anche solo per dieci minuti, la tua vita non sarà più la stessa. Tua figlia si alza ogni mattina perché ci sei tu. Il centro del suo piccolo mondo sei tu. Amici, parenti, professori, docenti o tutor influiranno su vari livelli, ma non formeranno il suo carattere. Sarai tu a farlo. Perché sei il suo papà. Essere un eroe per tua figlia può sembrarti una cosa terribilmente difficile, ma in realtà può essere davvero facile. Non c’è bisogno di una laurea in psicologia per proteggerla e darle insegnamenti su sesso, umiltà e su Dio. Significa semplicemente essere un papà...».Forte di una ventennale esperienza di pediatra e di psicologa e appoggiandosi a un ricchissimo campione di storie personali, Meg Meeker ci racconta come l’uomo decisivo nella vita di una «giovane donna» sia proprio il suo papà. In dieci capitoli diretti e pieni di passione l’autrice rivela i segreti che ogni padre dovrebbe conoscere per entrare nel «mistero» della sua giovane figlia e per avere un legame profondo con lei.Nell’«Invito alla lettura» Mariolina Ceriotti Migliarese ricorda: «Non è facile per i papà capire qual è la parte che compete loro nei confronti delle meravigliose piccole donne di oggi, così sfrontate, così vulnerabili, così esigenti, così belle... Eppure, mai come oggi queste giovani donne hanno bisogno dei loro papà, del loro amore e della loro presenza, della loro fiducia e della loro protezione. Per diventare una donna sicura e capace di scelte libere, la bambina ha bisogno infatti di crescere sotto lo sguardo di suo padre; ha bisogno di sentire che il padre la vede, si accorge di lei, ha stima delle sue capacità e del valore che possiede, non solo come persona ma proprio in quanto donna».

10 zwyczajów szczęśliwych matek

Questo volume affronta il tema della donna e madre, immersa nella società ed esposta a sollecitazioni che la mettono a dura prova promettendole una felicità basata su presupposti insufficienti, se non del tutto fasulli. Se la donna-madre è in crisi, ciò avviene soprattutto perché si ritrova a inseguire la propria identità dove non può trovarla. Ricorrenti messaggi distorti la distraggono: dimagrisci per farti ammirare, spenditi per la carriera e il potere che ti offre, fai più soldi, sii uno schianto, sii rilassata. Poi incombe la pressione dei pari, cioè delle altre madri, che innesca l’ansia da performance, la tensione a sentirsi mamme migliori a forza di accumulare cose materiali e impegni per sé stesse e per i figli, con il pretesto di offrire loro non meno opportunità rispetto agli altri bambini e ragazzi. «Una casa più bella, vestiti migliori, una scuola più all’avanguardia per il nostro bambino, chiamalo come vuoi: siamo convinte che qualcosa, da qualche parte, ci renderà un poco più contente». Ma il risultato è lo sfinimento.Di qui la proposta di dieci «segreti», dieci «abitudini» positive da acquisire, o, meglio, da conquistare: l’autostima, le vere amicizie, la fede, la rinuncia allo spirito di competizione, un rapporto sano con i soldi, meditare in solitudine, apprendere un amore più limpido, una vita più semplice, scacciare la paura, abbracciare la speranza. L’efficacia di queste buone abitudini viene condivisa mediante le testimonianze concrete raccolte dall’Autrice di altre donne e madri che, trovandosi in situazioni difficili, si sono comportate in maniera per qualche verso esemplare.

Boys Should Be Boys

In Boys Should Be Boys , one of our most trusted authorities helps parents restore the delights of boyhood and enable today’s boys to become the mature, confident, and thoughtful men of tomorrow. Boys will always be boys–rambunctious, adventurous, and curious, climbing trees, building forts, playing tackle football, and pushing their growing bodies to the limit as part of the rite of passage into manhood. But today our sons face an increasingly hostile world that doesn’t value the high-spirited, magical nature of boys. In a collective call to let our boys be boys, Dr. Meg Meeker explores the secrets to boyhood.
