Stressed? Overwhelmed? Struggling? Burning Out? It's becoming NORMAL to feel this way in our modern world - but it shouldn't be. When someone asks you how you are and you inevitably answer "busy", when your To-Do List is growing and growing despite the fact that you're always rushing to get it done, and you feel like you're juggling too many balls and just waiting for one to fall, knowing that when one does, they're all likely to, you NEED to read this book.
Dr Libby Weaver has helpful, practical advice on how to slow down, and why it's so crucial that we do - for our physical, mental, and emotional health.
I highly recommend this book - put it on your To-Do list, and add "Give myself time to read it" to your list too!

Is your teenager about to start high school? It's a time that's exciting, nerve wracking, worrying, full of opportunities and apprehension - and that's just for the kids! As parents, it's a time where our children are going to be exposed to a much wider world than previously. Have we prepared them enough? Have we given them the tools to cope? Have we discussed the important things?
Here's a book that helps ensure you've covered the essential conversations with your pre-teen - but more than that, it tells you HOW to approach these conversations, how to get your kids interested, how to exit the chat while they're still interested, and when, where and how to start the conversations off.
