Mother to daughter

"What the daughter needed to hear, the mother didn't know or couldn't tell her at the time."The answers collected in the book are the thoughts of a mother trying to give her daughter a signpost of life's truths that the girl should have heard years ago, but her mother was unable or unwilling to convey to her at the time.

A little girl once asked a question. At that time, her mother answered as adults do, who are always in a hurry and have no time for "childish" things. Meanwhile, her daughter has grown up, and during this time, her mother has also grown as a person. Today, she sees her child with different eyes.

The book contains a mother's answers to her daughter's questions, but this time the mother answers them differently: compassionately, openly, sensitively, lovingly, and more understandingly. It is adorned with beautiful illustrations.

Hardcover, 16.5 x 15.5 cm, 60 pages.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Lucija Čevnik is a doctor of sociological sciences, professor, specialist in Lacanian psychoanalysis, publicist, mentor and consultant for resolving unhealthy relationships and healing wounded self-image. With her personal and many years of professional experience gained through direct work with young people, she helps resolve conflict relationships between generations of parents and adolescents. It often happens that each generation speaks "its own language", which creates interrupted communication and conflict relationships between them. In such cases, she comes to the rescue and "translates" the language of young people into the language of their parents, and the demands and wishes of parents into the understanding of their children.

She also conducts personal counseling, lectures and workshops, where she teaches the younger generation to develop a positive self-image, a healthy attitude towards their bodies, and helps them to painfully confront the depths of inner fears that constantly whisper to us that as we are, we are not good enough, beautiful enough, smart enough. That we are simply not enough to be loved, accepted and successful. She inspires when we are overwhelmed by shame and lose love and compassion for our own reflection in the mirror. Now she is also the author of the book MOTHER OF DAUGHTER - What a daughter should hear, but her mother did not know or was not able to tell her at the time.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK:

Mommy, how do I know which path to choose? Which one is the right one? My little girl, every path you want to take is the right one. But not every path you take is easy. It may have many ups and even more downs before you reach your destination. But a hard path is much more liberating and personally fulfilling than an easier choice. Whatever path you choose, know that there are many trials and crossroads on each one.

You can always turn off it, take a break, or even go back if you find that it's not the right one for you and doesn't lead you where you want to go. But remember, my dear girl, you are the one who decides your path. You choose the pace, not the people who sometimes walk beside you. If you think you've chosen the right direction, keep going, even if your fellow travelers stumble, stop, falter, or deviate from it. Everyone has their own path. Fellow travelers can be a blessing or a huge burden. Think carefully about when it's worth adjusting the pace and stopping, and when it's better to take the path under your feet and go forward alone.

My little girl, keep in mind that the journey itself is the destination. Travel lightly, relaxed, exploratory, and loving toward everything and everyone you meet along the way. But never forget where you are going, where your direction is. If you don't know where you are headed, you will never be able to arrive (at your destination). Aimlessness quickly becomes anxious and depressive.

I want you to walk beside me, but never follow in my footsteps. Be aware of your worth and, above all, appreciate who you are. Let self-respect and confidence serve as your inner compass and intuitively guide you to choose the right path. The right one for yourself. Even if it is sometimes incredibly difficult or if you sometimes have to take a step back. Stay on course. And walk with your head held high.
