What You Need to Be a Happier Mom
Dr. Meg Meeker
The pressure on women today has pushed many mothers to the breaking point.

Dr. Meg Meeker, author of The 10 Habits of Happy Mothers, offers moms a better, healthier perspective – and gives them new hope in their daily role as a mom. She illustrates 10 simple yet challenging habits that every mom can adopt.

UNDERSTANDING TEEN CUTTING
Emotional Health
How should I respond to my adolescent daughter’s cutting habit? I only recently discovered that she’s been cutting herself. I’ve tried to let her know much this concerns me.

Focus on the Family Vision
To cooperate with the Holy Spirit in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible by nurturing and defending the God-ordained institution of the family and promoting biblical truths worldwide.
Ultimately, we believe that the purpose of life is to know and glorify God through an authentic relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ. This purpose is lived out first within our own families then extended, in love, to an increasingly broken world that desperately needs Him.Through our radio broadcasts, websites, simulcasts, conferences, interactive forums, magazines, books, counseling and much more, Focus on the Family equips parents, children and spouses to thrive in an ever-changing, ever-more-complicated world.
