My Thoughts and Review:
The title "Letting Go of SuperMOM" really is what interested me in this book and it didn't disappoint. I really think this book is a very much needed book for all MOM's out there. I know there are too many MOM's who try to do it all and really are only making things harder for themselves. My personal belief in the "SuperMOM syndrome" is that many woman are trying to impress others by trying to do it all, being someone they are not. I realized I was doing the "SuperMOM" thing a couple years ago and have slowly made changes because I realized the only one I need to 'impress" is God! I am not looking for others to think of me as "WOW" because I "do it all", I just need the "approval" of God that I am following him and being the MOM he created me to be. I really need to read this book though, as it pointed many more factors out to me that I am going to work on!
Dr. Sutherland really does a GREAT job in pointing out that "SuperMOM Syndrome" can lead to health problems for us MOM's.I LOVE how the book is filled with wonderful resources and information on how to make life easier for "SuperMOMs". Everything from apps for moms, money saving ideas, info on how our children can help and age approiate help suggestions. The author has divided the book into 6 main topics: Faith, Family, Home, Health and Beauty, Balance, and It's a Moms World. The main topics of the book are very well written and topics that really address all areas of being a MOM.
I would highly recommend "Letting Go of SuperMOM" to moms everywhere! I give it 4.5 Stars!!
