The 10 Habits of Happy Mothers
This sanity-saving guide “offers practical ways to help you let go of ‘mom guilt’ in order to become a happier, healthier woman” (Parent & Child). Now with wellness tips and exercises! The pressure on women today has pushed many American mothers to the breaking point. It feels as if “doing your best” is never enough to please everyone, and the demands mothers place on themselves are both impossible and unrealistic. Now Meg Meeker, M.D., critically acclaimed author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, puts her twenty-five years’ experience as a practicing pediatrician and counselor into a sound, sane approach to reshaping the frustrating, exhausting lives of so many moms. Mothers are expected to do it all: raise superstar kids, look great, make good salaries, volunteer for everything, run errands, keep a perfect house, be the perfect wife. Single mothers often have even more demands—and less support. In this rallying cry for change, Dr. Meeker incorporates clinical data and her own experience raising four children to show why mothers suffer from the rising pressure to excel and the toll it takes on their emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health. Too many mothers are increasingly lonely, anxious, depressed, and unhappy with themselves, refusing to let themselves off the hook. Here, Dr. Meeker has identified the 10 most positive habits of mothers who are healthy, happy, and fulfilled. The key is to embrace a new perspective and create real joy and purpose by utilizing such core habits as • making friends with those who know the meaning of friendship • finding out what money can buy (and what it cannot) • lightening the overload—and doing less more often • discovering faith and learning how to trust it • taking some alone time and reviving yourself Mothers, it’s time to view the unconditional trust that you see in your children’s eyes when they take your hand or find your face in a crowd as a mirror of your own wonder and worth. You are the light that shines in their lives, the beacon that guides them. By implementing the key strategies in Dr. Meeker’s book, you can be happy, hopeful, and a wonderful role model. You can teach your children to be the very best they can be—and isn’t that still the most precious reward of motherhood?

Héroe
Ese es el mensaje de la pediatra y escritora superventas Meg Meeker. Si te preocupa cumplir con todas las exigencias de la paternidad, deja que la doctora Meeker te aclare una cosa: todo hombre tiene la capacidad de ser el héroe que sus hijos necesitan. Con unas sencillas instrucciones paso a paso y basándose en su larga experiencia -incluida su labor de asesora en la Iniciativa para la Paternidad de la Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano-, la doctora Meeker te enseñará a ser el padre que tú quieres ser y que tus hijos necesitan. En Héroe aprenderás: o Por qué los padres son incluso más importantes para los hijos que las madres. o Por qué tus hijos quieren que seas su héroe (incluso si vuestra relación es conflictiva o distante). o Secretos que pueden ayudar a los padres divorciados o viudos y a los padrastros a mantener -o restablecer- una sólida relación con sus hijos. o Por qué los fracasos del pasado -por ejemplo, la relación con tu propio padre- no tienen por qué determinar la futura relación con tus hijos. o Las tres preguntas que todo padre debería responder. o Las tres cualidades que pueden garantizar tu éxito como padre (y por qué estas cualidades forman parte de tu ADN). Lo sepas o no, el mero hecho de ser padre te convierte en un héroe. Como señala la doctora Meeker: "Si quieres lo mejor para tus hijos -y para ti-, debes esforzarte en ser un padre-héroe. Con este libro espero ayudarte a conseguirlo". "Superman es maravilloso. El Capitán América no está mal. Sin embargo, TÚ has nacido con una serie de poderes que superan con creces los de los hombres normales. Con la sabiduría y la determinación que te caracterizan, solo TÚ puedes salvar a tus hijos de los peligros que les acechan. TÚ eres el héroe que ellos necesitan. TÚ eres el héroe que recordarán para siempre. Deja que este libro te guíe, amigo mío. Y adelante. ¡Aún estás a tiempo!". -Andy Andrews, autor superventas del New York Times con El regalo del viajero y The noticer "Para muchos hombres, el papel de "padre" (que debería ser extremadamente importante) suele quedar relegado a un segundo plano, por detrás de sus responsabilidades como esposo, proveedor de los recursos económicos y cabeza de familia. Y, desgraciadamente, sus hijos acaban pagando el precio. Con su habitual sabiduría y sensibilidad, la doctora Meeker nos recuerda que el papel de "padre" es la misión más importante que un hombre puede tener en su vida". -Jim Daly, presidente de Focus on the family "Da igual que estés intentando ganar la Superbowl o educando a tus hijos. Necesitas un plan. Y este libro te ofrece ese plan. Para mí, no hay nada más importante que educar a mis hijos para que lleguen a ser unos adultos fuertes y cariñosos, que conocen, aman y sirven a Dios. Me gustaría dar las gracias a la doctora Meeker por haber escrito un libro tan inspirador y estimulante para todos los padres como yo". -Philip Rivers, quaterback de Los Angeles Charger "Si eres padre, la lectura de este libro debería ser imprescindible. Si quieres agradecer a tu padre la labor que ha hecho contigo, deberías regalarle este libro. El mensaje de la doctora Meeker para los padres es sencillamente increíble". -Les Parrott, autor superventas del New York Times con Saving your marriage before it starts

Padres Fuertes, Hijas Felices / Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters
La doctora Meeker demuestra que un factor determinante para que las jóvenes se conviertan en mujeres seguras y equilibradas es un padre fuerte que ejerza su papel con amor, cariño y confianza. Padres fuertes, hijas felices revela: Hasta qué punto los consejos y el testimonio vital de los padres influye en vida de las hijas. Desde el uso de drogas, alcohol y tabaco a la autoestima, el equilibrio emocional, o al modo de relacionarse con los chicos. Por qué las chicas dependen del cariño y de la compañía de sus padres, incluso más allá de sus años universitarios. La receta para el desastre: la idea de que las chicas “necesitan cometer sus propios errores y aciertos”. Cómo comunicarse con su hija, y cómo no hacerlo. En una época en la que cada vez se insiste más en “difuminar” la distinción natural entre el papel del padre y de la madre, en que da igual si la familia está compuesta por dos padres o dos madres, o si es monoparental, este libro demuestra que el rol de padre es bastante más influyente de lo que muchos hombres imaginan. Además de la relación maternal, las hijas necesitan del apoyo que sólo un padre puede dar, y si los padres están dispuestos a seguir los consejos de la doctora Meeker sobre cómo educar a sus hijas, su recompensa será excepcional.
