Your guide to celebrating and loving your kids more than ever in the weeks, months, and years before they begin their adult livesWe read the parenting books. We cheer from the sidelines. We grow accustomed to the joys and pains of raising toddlers, kids, tweens, and teens. And then, before we know it, it’s our kids’ last first day of school, the last time we’ll watch them take the field, or the last night they sleep at home before heading off to their next adventures. A season of our lives as moms is ending, and we may be mourning its passing. And yet, while our kids still need us—in some ways, more than ever—this stage can also be an opportunity for personal transformation.Author Meagan Francis understands the mixed feelings that come along with this stage. As a mom of five kids ages teen to young adult, she’s been blogging and podcasting about motherhood for more than twenty-five years while going from five kids under her roof to just one. In The Last Parenting Book You''ll Ever Read, Francis will take you by the hand and lead you through the final stage of “active” parenting, as your teenagers prepare to step into the world…and you explore what it means to step back into yourself.The Last Parenting Book You’ll Ever Read is about coming to terms with the many endings that moms of teenagers experience—but more than that, it’s about all the new beginnings on the horizon, and how moms can still hold their families close while letting them go. With compassion for the big feelings that accompany big transitions, Francis helps readers harness some of the mothering energy they’ve been directing toward their children and redirect it back toward nurturing themselves.
