Kids These Days! – Happy Mothers

On today: Tuesday, May 3 at 2pm and 7pm

HAPPY MOTHERS

We’ve all heard the adage, “If momma’s not happy, nobody’s happy,” and in celebration of Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, we wanted to know how to make mom happy, and how to keep mom happy. Editor/Publisher of Mothering Magazine, Peggy O’Mara joins host Shana Sheehy to take a look at how motherhood and happiness are linked and how mom’s mood affects the family. Plus local therapist, Sharon Fleck, talks postpartum depression and other peri-natal mood disorders affecting mothers’ happiness.
