Even June Cleaver Would Forget The Juice Box presents a new paradigm of parenthood–the perfectly good mother–that bucks the trend of parents who overproduce, overprotect, and overperfect in an effort to make sure they and their kids keep up. The tide is turning, from overcontrolling, overinvolved “perfection parenting” to a more relaxed, realistic model. Women want to resist the pressures of modern motherhood.
NO OTHER BOOK TELLS YOU HOW!
Read acclaim for June here.
This book contains the blueprint for finding your own workable solutions. In this book, readers learn to:
- Let go of guilt and unrealistic expectations.
- Change the irrational thinking that keeps parents stuck in stress.
- Define and embrace your own “perfectly good mother.”
- Connect, not compete with other parents.
- Raise responsible, resilient children.
