BACH FLOWER REMEDIES FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN

Remedies for mothers

	Agrimony "When we want to get away from noise and chatter or have aches and pains to bear." - when we try to smile and to see the humour and not to despair over certain undesirable behavior.	Hornbeam "For times when we feel we cannot cope with so many chores and are tired at the very thought." - when we wake up in the morning feeling that the daily routine seem too much to do.
	Cherry Plum "When we feel we would like to "take it out" on the child because we have reached end of our endurance.  Last straw feeling." - when we are so afraid that we might harm the children, either physically or emotionally; being exhausted or depressed and having to cope with difficult children can be overwhelming as most mothers know.	Elm "To help when although we try so hard to be an ideal parent, the task seems beyond our mortal scope and we despair of doing our job well." -when we hear from other mothers who seem to be doing better than us... when we hear hurtful remarks about our children, thinking "it must be my fault".
	Impatiens "When time is short and child is slow.  For definite patience.  To resist temptation to do everything for toddler rather than watch them do things themselves." - when the school bus is waiting outside, or you are late for your appointments... and your child is still taking his time to get ready while you are nagging away.
