Momaholic: Crazy Confessions of a Helicopter Parent by Dena Higley, a book review
Dena Higley author of “Momaholic: Crazy Confessions
of a Helicopter Parent" shares her soap opera life with readers in this
honest and humorously written book. An award-winning writer, Mrs. Higley has
been the head writer for the actual soap operas, One Life to Live and Days of
Our Lives. In this book, she details her own life and how she realized that she
could no longer control every aspect of her children’s lives.
In today’s world, (at least in the American world)
it seems that families are falling apart. And considering the difficulties some
of Mrs. Higley’s children faced, I understand her need to hover over her children
in an effort to assure their success not only as children but also as adults. With
an autistic son, and two adopted children who had problems of their own, Mrs.
Higley hovered. And her family suffered for it! Slowly, after a night spent in the emergency room, Mrs. Higley begins the slow process of realizing that her pursuit of perfection was futile. With her family in crisis, she took a long, hard look at herself and released her family into the knowing hands of God.
This book is written from an honest viewpoint. She lists the signs of a helicopter mom, so that readers might recognize it in themselves and not make the same mistakes as she. Momaholic: Crazy Confessions of a Helicopter Parent takes us into the lives of an imperfect family and teaches us how to become better parents through mistakes made and behaviors changed.
A good and insightful book!
