Series: The 10 Habits of Happy Mothers

Dr. Meg Meeker instructs mothers to find a way to live simply and to remember that a mother's goal isn't to make her kids happy or get them in the right schools, but to teach them to be good, solid people.

Dr. Meg Meeker asserts that kids mostly just want their mother's time and attention, so moms should relax and leave the competition to others.

Dr. Meg Meeker encourages mothers to "jump off the train" of perfectionism and to simplify their lives by setting up boundaries and trusting their instincts.
