New Releases by Meg Meeker

Dunia anak perempuan adalah lebih kecil dari dunia kita sebagai bapa, bukan hanya secara fizikal, tetapi juga secara emosi. Ia lebih rapuh dan lembut kerana wataknya diuli seperti doh roti di atas papan pemotong. Kita tahu bahawa kita perlu menjadi seorang yang lebih menyayangi. Ataupun menjadi lebih bersabar. Ataupun menjadi lebih berani, rajin, ataupun setia. Tetapi bolehkah kita? Ia adalah sebahagian dari satu sudut perspektf. Untuk lebih mencintai anak perempuan, mungkin kelihatan rumit pada kita, tetapi ia sangat mudah untuknya. Menjadi seorang hero bagi anak perempuan mungkin menakutkan kita, tetapi sebenarnya ia boleh menjadi mudah. Melindungi dan mengajarnya tentang Tuhan, seks, dan kerendahan hati tidak memerlukan ijazah dalam bidang psikologi. Ia hanya perlu menjadi seorang ayah.

Para pemuda pada hari ini banyak mengalami keadaan yang disebut sebagai ‘krisis budak lelaki’. Seperti yang ditulis oleh ahli psikologi dan penulis, Dr. James Dobson dalam buku beliau bertajuk Bringing Up Boys, “Anak lelaki, jika dibandingkan dengan anak perempuan adalah enam kali lebih cenderung mempunyai masalah pembelajaran, tiga kali ganda lebih besar kemungkinan menjadi penagih dadah, dan empat kali lebih kebarangkalian mengalami gangguan emosi…. “ Jika kita melihat pada dinamik unik hubungan indah ini, kita dapat melihat para ibu sebenarnya mempunyai tekanan mereka sendiri, yang berbeza daripada pengalaman anak lelaki mereka. Penting untuk kita memahami kedua-duanya, iaitu tekanan yang unik kepada kanak-kanak lelaki dan tekanan yang unik kepada si ibu. Kadangkala, kedua-duanya akan bersilang dan kadang-kadang tidak. Penulis akan kongsikan setiap set ini secara terperinci. Penulis akan kongsikan semua isu yang dihadapi oleh kaum ibu. Ini kerana penyelidikan menunjukkan, cara terbaik bagi membantu seorang lelaki adalah dengan membantu insan yang mempunyai pengaruh paling besar terhadap diri mereka. Bagi berjuta-juta lelaki di dunia ini, insan itu adalah ibu mereka.

A timely and empowering book featuring “solid, practical advice for women on how to properly nurture their sons” (Kirkus Reviews). From the moment a mother holds her newborn son, his eyes tell her that she is his world. But often, as he grows up, the boy who needs her simultaneously pushes her away. Calling upon thirty years of experience as a pediatrician, Meg Meeker, M.D., a highly sought after national speaker, assistant professor of clinical medicine, and mother of four, shares the secrets that every mother needs to know in order to strengthen—or rebuild—her relationship with her son. Boys today face unique challenges and pressures, and the burden on mothers to guide their boys through them can feel overwhelming. This empowering book offers a road map to help mothers find the strength and confidence to raise extraordinary sons by providing encouragement, education, and practical advice about • the need for mothers to exercise courage and be bolder and more confident about advising and directing their boys • the crucial role mothers play in expressing love to sons in healthy ways so they learn to respect and appreciate women as they grow up • the importance of teaching sons about the values of hard work, community service, and a well-developed inner life • the natural traps mothers of boys often fall into—and how to avoid them • the need for a mother to heal her own wounds with the men in her life so she can raise her son without baggage and limitations • the best ways to survive the moments when the going gets tough and a mom’s natural ways of communicating—talking, analyzing, exploring—only fuel the fire When a mother holds her baby boy for the first time, she also instinctively knows something else: If she does her job right and raises her son with self-esteem, support, and wisdom, he will become the man she knows he was meant to be.

This sanity-saving guide “offers practical ways to help you let go of ‘mom guilt’ in order to become a happier, healthier woman” (Parent & Child). Now with wellness tips and exercises! The pressure on women today has pushed many American mothers to the breaking point. It feels as if “doing your best” is never enough to please everyone, and the demands mothers place on themselves are both impossible and unrealistic.

Single mothers often have even more demands—and less support. In this rallying cry for change, Dr. Meeker incorporates clinical data and her own experience raising four children to show why mothers suffer from the rising pressure to excel and the toll it takes on their emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health. Too many mothers are increasingly lonely, anxious, depressed, and unhappy with themselves, refusing to let themselves off the hook. Here, Dr. Meeker has identified the 10 most positive habits of mothers who are healthy, happy, and fulfilled. The key is to embrace a new perspective and create real joy and purpose by utilizing such core habits as • making friends with those who know the meaning of friendship • finding out what money can buy (and what it cannot) • lightening the overload—and doing less more often • discovering faith and learning how to trust it • taking some alone time and reviving yourself Mothers, it’s time to view the unconditional trust that you see in your children’s eyes when they take your hand or find your face in a crowd as a mirror of your own wonder and worth. You are the light that shines in their lives, the beacon that guides them. By implementing the key strategies in Dr. Meeker’s book, you can be happy, hopeful, and a wonderful role model. You can teach your children to be the very best they can be—and isn’t that still the most precious reward of motherhood?
