Perfect Mum

Much of the focus on motherhood is centered around pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and giving birth. After the child is born, the focus tends to shift away from the mother and on to the child. There are countless books, websites and articles on how to raise the perfect child. There is also a heightened awareness of the pressures that befall many modern day mothers. Yet, there is a lack of support and assistance for mothers to help them cope with the psychological, emotional and spiritual sides of being a mother.

Mothers groups have been designed as a way of creating a support network for new mums, but many mothers find them to be sources of pressure and judgement, leaving them suffering from self-doubt, low self-esteem and insecurity. Those that are lucky enough to develop a strong bond with other mothers in the group certainly benefit immensely, however, anecdotal evidence suggests that this close bond is, unfortunately, the exception, rather than the norm.

The aim of this book is to provide mothers with tools, techniques and ongoing support to not only cope with the demands of motherhood, but to learn how to increase happiness, self-esteem and self worth.

In addition, it has been written by Lizzie O'Halloran (a professional therapist, speaker and mother of two) to increase awareness of the struggles that most mothers are going through and to perhaps enable women to stop and think about how other mums might be feeling before passing judgement or criticism.

Perfect Mum is a great gift for any mum (single mum, career mum, working mum) or for a pregnant mum-to-be. It is packed with ways to support mums to feel good and reduce feelings associated with postnatal depression.
