The ‘Good Enough’ Mother: Saying NO So You Can Say YES
8:30pm
Mothers would do ‘anything’ for their children but should they do everything? There is no such thing as the perfect mother; and even the mother who gives her children everything may leave them lacking the opportunity to grow. Kids learn to navigate the world when all their needs are not met. The challenge is to redefine’ good enough’ mothering for the reality of our present-day lives, because too many mothers are still trying to be perfect and not leaving enough opportunity to build their own and their children's resilience. This workshop is relevant for mothers with children at every age.
