Download or read book Mommy Burnout written by Dr. Sheryl G. Ziegler and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Z—as she’s affectionately known by her many patients—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"—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 process.

Download or read book Helping Your Child Choose a Career First Edition written by Paul Stevens and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet was developed to help parents in Australia guide their children in making career choices. It focuses on coaching (suggesting, guiding, encouraging questions, encouraging self-help actions, sharing decision-making responsibility, and demonstrating a helping attitude) and consulting (asking, sharing perceptions and information, giving most decision-making responsibility to children, helping children take personal responsibility, and enabling children to help themselves). The guide suggests that parents should take into account their children's personalities and use a planned approach emphasizing self-help; determining skills and interests; developing a skills inventory; and matching skills, interests, and school results with occupations. It also states that parents should help children find out what jobs are really like by networking and encouraging work experiences. Resources that can help include career and worklife counselors, government sources such as vocational guidance bureaus, community resources, and the use of diagnostic tests. The guide defines career satisfaction, provides a career-planning checklist for children to complete and parents to review, and recommends five resources. (KC)
