Take care of yourself. Be present. Enjoy the moments.
This book will help you see yourself so you can really see your children. It will help you focus on what is truly important and help you let go of unneccessary guilt and self criticism. It allows you to see parenting as a learning experience and an opportunity for inner growth. And it's a reminder to stay present so you can fully appreciate the moments with your children.
"Sometimes I think I got it and that there is nothing left to learn, but then I am forced to look at myself once again. This is a continuous process through life - there is never a way to completely “get it”, the point is to realize that there is always something to learn and to embrace it." ~ from The Self-Aware Parent: 19 Lessons for Growing with Your Children
