so-soThis came highly suggested in a Google search. While I‘ve reconnected with my faith, That wasn‘t the draw. Just trying to learn to be a more present, less anxious and triggered mom. Just out here trying to break generational trauma- no easy task. This was honestly only ok. Pretty mediocre as parenting books go.
pickHighly recommended for parents of adolescents from ~9-20, this has a great structure for each chapter: what we‘re discussing, the science of it, what has changed in the past 20-40 years, and words from people recently through it. Everything from acne and BO to gender identity, sexual orientation, and hookup culture. Overwhelming but I think it will prove very useful.
I‘m enjoying this Charlotte Mason technique on homeschooling. I‘m always interested and intrigued by different approaches to homeschooling, and I love how she incorporates nature and literature together to teach and inspire. I‘m always interested in homeschooling books, so if you have a good one, drop a comment below! 🥰
About to meet my third boy in a couple hours. Happy leap day!
so-soMy mom bought me this book that she read in the 80s. It helped her overcome the damaging parenting that she went through, particularly as a kid of an alcoholic. Reading this book with that context in mind made me grateful she broke the cycle of not treating you children as human beings and the normalizing of abusive behaviour as 'good parenting.' I wouldn't recommend this book in any other circumstance other than the one I read it under, though!
You know when you're sick and nothing feels like a good read. I have started and stopped 3 books the last few days. 13 books loaded on my Litsy right now. I wanted a cozy read but now I'm not sure.
so-soThis book for me is a tough one to review because I don‘t know how I feel about it. To be honest, the theme of intergenerational trauma, immigration and traditional parenting is covered really well in the book and it‘s something I could relate with but the book lacks consistent storytelling and a solid storyline. Which book left you indecisive? #immigration #Vietnamwar #trauma #parenting
