Acerca de esta escucha
Many people go into the step-parenting experience thinking that their parenting skills and instincts will suffice. Why then do so many struggle with step-parenting? Why are the unique gifts and challenges of step-parenting rarely discussed?
The Back-Up Mom is an invaluable, candid guide to step-parenting from the personal experience of a mom who has been there, learned precious lessons and is ready to share her wisdom with you.
A stepparent’s journey is never easy. Author Laura K. Wagner reaches out to other stepparents to let them know they are not alone in their journey. Laura intertwines valuable advice with a personal narrative that lets you know you’re not alone in your journey to become an effective stepparent. You’ll learn, right along with Laura, how to keep an open mind and open heart in the journey to support your stepchildren - and yourself.
The Back-Up Mom is the story of hope, courage and strength. The book provides step-families with the inspiration, encouragement, and information they need to open their hearts and become positive role models to their stepchildren.

Maybe you knew how much something would hurt, but you said it anyway because it felt good in the moment. Maybe you’re fighting a habit of complaining or yelling, when you really want to be a person who speaks with kindness and patience. Or maybe you stay silent because you’re never quite sure what to say. Whatever your “maybe” may be, you are in the right place. As a wife, mom, and the creator of the popular Modern Farmhouse Family Instagram, Sarah Molitor has learned firsthand that yes, words can hurt―but they can also help and heal.

Do you worry that you're messing up your kids? Do you get stressed when you think about their futures? New York Times best-selling author Crystal Paine knows how you feel. A mom of four, Crystal has struggled with anxiety over parenting. She wanted to parent with grace, instead of a system of rules where kids are expected to do all the right things. She wanted to be a safe place for her children, and she definitely didn't want to be remembered as the sort of mom who yelled, wounded her kids with words, or worse, cared more about her reputation than her kids' hearts.
