What do kids really need in a mom? As you anticipated motherhood, you may have had great expectations of being energetic, patient, organized, seldom frazzled-a supermom of sorts. But then reality hit. What Kids Need Most in a Mom offers encouragement and help for being your best on even not-so-super days. You'll learn to evaluate what's really important in life and find creative ideas for sharing your discoveries with your children. You'll begin to focus on such essentials as: * trusting your life-and your kids-to God's care * instilling forgiveness in your children * getting out of the guilt factory * growing with your children With humor, honesty, and hope, Patricia Rushford, a mother and grandmother, shares memorable stories and practical advice from her many years of experience. She puts the supermom ideal in its proper category-fiction-and instead guides you to be a real mom who is content to make the most of the love, talents, responsibilities, gifts, and frailties you have been given.
