Live a Good Life for Yourself First, Then Your Children Will Be Better Off

This is not an empty chicken soup book, nor is it a cold parenting guide. This is a mother's personal story and the journey she and her two children took along the way. When the author was 36 years old, he experienced the heaviest blow in his life - the death of his husband due to a sudden heart attack. That year, the eldest son had just entered junior high school, and the younger son was still in kindergarten. The burden of life and family responsibilities all fell on her alone. She cried and panicked, but in the end she chose to be strong: carrying her children along while constantly looking for a way to rebuild herself. This book contains her real experience. There is no high-level preaching in the book, but it cuts into small aspects: children procrastinate in homework, grades fluctuate, and emotional anxiety... She disassembles and analyzes in her own way, and then gives practical solutions. The book is divided into three levels: raising children and raising oneself - telling how mothers regained strength in the great pain of widowhood; habits and methods - the educational focus and implementable methodologies at the three stages of primary school, middle school and high school; future and hope - how to help children build self-management abilities, and at the same time, parents learn to let go and grow with their children. Reading this book, you will see how a woman comes out of the bottom, and you will also learn how to develop habits with her children, find methods, and stabilize her mentality. More importantly, you will find that the ultimate meaning of education is never to "manage" children well, but to accompany them to become independent and complete people. This is a book for parents, and also for everyone who is struggling in life but still wants to move forward.
