As part of our Author’s Series, Lizzie shares part of her story of motherhood and how it has inspired her to encourage other women to be the best mother they can be.
Stress is a part of modern life, but never more so than in motherhood…In addition to being highly stressed, a recent study by Bellamy’s found that 9 out of 10 women neglect their own health and nutrition in order to be a good mum, but then feel judged for not looking or feeling their best. Many mothers would really love to ask for more help but are either too embarrassed to admit they are not coping well, do not want to burden others, or believe it is too expensive.

The Problem: Communication Is Not A Priority
“The Cause: The day to day responsibilities of raising kids often means that even small bits of intimacy are relegated to the sidelines. Hand holding, caresses and hugs become more and more infrequent. “If left unchecked, couples can drift apart and forget what they found in each other,” says Lizzie O’Halloran, a marriage and personal development therapist. “Intimacy is crucial for the long term success of a partnership.
The Solution: “In order to keep the lines of communication open scheduling time to reconnect when the kids are asleep or otherwise occupied. “Go for walks together in the park with the kids on weekends,” she says, “so you can talk while the kids are engaged in activities as well.”
Melbourne-based counsellor Lizzie O’Halloran, who recently wrote a book called Perfect Mum, says she finds most women feel guilty when challenged to look after themselves.
“Mums think, ‘If I have time to myself, I’m not as good a mum’. If you don’t have a break, stress starts to increase, anxiety starts to increase, and you succumb to just sheer exhaustion – that feeling of being overwhelmed,” she tells kidspot.com.au.

There are two core things research suggests about feeding children health food. The first is that it takes approximately 12 presentations of the undesirable food, before your child is likely to try it and enjoy it. It won’t always work, however, persistence is the key.
