I know that when I had my first child, it was hard to figure out where he stopped and I began, and over my years of parenting and doing daycare I’ve figured out that a lot of moms feel the same way. Even though I have figured out how to be a self-aware woman and mother over the last 9 years of parenthood, I know of many that have not mastered that skill. The Self-Aware Parent is a great resource for these parents. Walfish’s book is brilliantly written with intelligence, experience, and humor and I really enjoyed reading it.
Dr. Frances Walfish is a leading child and family psychotherapist and consultant for Parenting Teens Resource Network, Little Soul Productions, Momlogic.com, and NBC Nightly News, as well as a frequent contributor to Parents magazine and Chair of the Governing Board of the Early Childhood Parenting Center. You can purchase The Self-Aware Parent at her website, DrFranWalfish.com, as well as Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com
