This book empowers mothers to stop feeling like a ‘crap mum’, as they strive to be the perfect idea of Supermum – and start having confidence in their own parenting. Author Anya Hayes and psychologist Dr Rachel Andrew use techniques including CBT and mindfulness to help you dismiss negative thoughts and learn to stop comparing yourself to others. Instead, you’ll learn to be kinder to yourself – and can get on with being a brilliant mum. About the Author: Dr Rachel Andrew is an experienced child psychologist, with over 16 years of experience in the NHS and private practice dealing with parents, children and teenagers. Readers might also recognize her from her regular TV appearances in shows for ITV, the BBC and most notably the BAFTA nominated Channel 4 series Don’t Make Me Angry. She’s also a mum of two herself. She passionately believes that there’s no one-size-fits-all cure and that the key to finding a more balanced, flexible and healthy approach to parenting lies in getting in touch with your inner wisdom and your own instinct about what’s right for your child and your family.
