A CALL TO MOMS!
Posted: March 13th, 2006 by Michele Borba
Did you know that a recent survey found one third of parents would decide not to start a family if they could do it all over again?
As a parent educator who has worked with over one million parents and teachers in my career I’m seeing a trend that has my blood curling: I’ve never talked to so many mothers who are feeling so guilty and unhappy.
My own survey of 5000 parents I conducted for my book, 12 Simple Secrets Real Moms Know: Getting Back to Basics and Raising Happy Kids, found staggering results: seventy percent of moms say they are so overwhelmed and stressed that they have lost the joy in mothering. This is the most important role of our lives and should be the most joyous.
Countless teachers are telling me that they are seeing the same thing. Come on, Moms! It’s time to simplify and find that balance. I know it’s hard, and we all want our kids to succeed, but this isn’t helping them either. There are a few place (like in Minnesota) where the whole city said Enough and are finding ways to work together to be more child-friendly and reduce the tendency to over-parent. Let me know your thoughts. I’m on a mission to turn this around!
