Every mum wants to succeed. Every child also wants to succeed. This book provides mums with positive encouragement, knowledge, and tools that they can begin using immediately as they continue their recovery and move towards being the best mums they can be. She tells stories of real life mums who have effectively applied the techniques she's developed in her practice over the years. The book includes real life stories from the mums and children she works with. The reader is guided by a professional and encouraged and inspired by mums who have 'been there, done that'. Because mums in recovery feel safer and more secure in a familiar and consistent environment, each chapter begins with an encouraging saying and ends with a writing activity plus between four to eight clear and concise keys presented in the chapter. For mums in recovery, Barbara says, 'Other than your recovery, I believe that parenting is the most important job you'll ever do. It may also very well be the hardest job you'll ever do. And, for sure, the most rewarding!'
