By Learning How To Say No Nicely Sometimes

I once read a great book about how to be quietly,and nicely, assertive. It said that some people give too much and then get taken for granted and become stressed by taking on other peoples' uncalmness! It's great to help others in a crisis, but we moms need to think of our need for serenity time too!

Found the book! can't find the marketplace!

I'll put it here and maybe someone will move it to the right place?

Enjoy - it's a really great book (oh and all moms out there, get your daughters reading it too!) It's called ' Your Perfect Right'
