Authors of ‘Dirty Little Secrets From Otherwise Perfect Moms’ Offer Advice on Getting Kids Past Common Speed Bumps
May 5 — GoodNites(R) Brand today declared May “Positive Parenting Month,” teaming up with moms and authors of the new book “Dirty Little Secrets From Otherwise Perfect Moms,” Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile. Throughout the month, GoodNites(R) will help parents feel better about and succeed at coaching kids through common childhood speed bumps like homework stress, friendship issues and bedtime battles.
“While writing our book, we spoke with hundreds of moms who were all dealing with similar challenges,” say Ashworth and Nobile. “As parents, it’s comforting to know that we aren’t alone, and it’s important to realize that we aren’t bad moms and dads because our kids have struggles. There’s no harder job than parenting, but if we are confident in our own abilities without judging ourselves, we’ll find some relief and focus on what’s really important.”
