Within each new mother lives an ideal that, like the perfect house or the perfect relationship, is doomed to fall short. The "good mother myth" is an ideal that parents create for themselves, says psychotherapist and parent coach Alyson Schafer. It is the sort of widely held misconception that ultimately sabotages people's efforts at becoming the best parents they can be. In her eye-opening account of how moms, the media, and our current culture foster this condition, Breaking the Good Mom Myth shows readers, through personal stories, anecdotes, and timely lessons, how to become a more empowered and confident person and parent. Alyson Schafer (Toronto, ON, Canada) is a psychotherapist, parent educator, and media expert in parenting. She is the host of The Parenting Show and has been featured in articles in Reader s Digest, Today's Parent and Chatelaine, to name but a few.
