Everyday Wellbeing For Mums

During author Rhiannon Colarossi’s first year of teaching, in 2002, she discovered something they don’t teach you at university: a mum’s wellbeing impacts a child’s happiness and learning ability in the classroom. She saw the constant busyness and non-presence of mums, noticing this pattern in numerous families, regardless of circumstances. She knows for certain that if mums knew the value of their own wellbeing in their children’s lives, they would choose to slow down and be more present. In Everyday Wellbeing for Mums, Rhiannon seeks to support mothers in achieving their best by implementing daily wellbeing tools such as positive action, self-kindness, and powerful pauses. Integrating these tools into your daily routine can help guide you towards nurturing your everyday wellbeing so that you can feel your best while raising your children. Despite the chaos and challenges that are often part of daily life, you deserve to be at peace, every single day. And it is possible to live a happy and peace-filled life while raising young children. This self-development guide provides a set of tools for mothers to use in building their own wellbeing and feeling good while raising their children.
