Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

No one hands you a manual when you become a mom.

When Helen held her first daughter in her arms, she didn't even know how to change a diaper. She had never cared for a baby, hadn't read any parenting books, and no one had warned her that the greatest love in the world could also come with a great deal of fear.

Years later-amidst mistakes, apologies, and hugs-she discovered three guiding principles for her home: love, respect, and connection.In this warm, beautifully illustrated book, Helen shares real-life stories from raising her daughters, Danna and Layla, and the lessons each one taught her. This isn't a lecture from an expert; it's a conversation with a mom who has been there herself.Inside these pages, you will find: Simple ways to build healthy eating habits without turning mealtimes into a battle.Bedtime rituals that bring calm to the whole family.Why outdoor play, sports, and unplugging matter more than ever.Rules for screen time and social media that your children will actually understand.How to teach empathy, healthy disagreement, and respect for others.Boundaries set with love, so your children feel secure rather than punished.>Each of the 26 chapters begins with a family story and concludes with a key lesson Helen learned, a takeaway quote, and a small, actionable step you can take today. You'll also find affirmations for moms, answers to common questions, and signs that you're on the right track.Perfect for first-time moms, expectant mothers, and anyone who wants to parent with more calm, patience, and connection. It also makes a wonderful gift for a baby shower or Mother's Day.You don't need to be perfect. You just need to stay present-with love.
