Raising Quirky Children: Tijana Lukovic on raising resilient children, nurturing their authenticity, and self-sacrificing mothers.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang= "EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US">Illustrator Tijana Lukovic talks about her Serbian mom Ljiljana’s lessons: How do we raise quirky children with acceptance, and nurture their authenticity? Does motherhood need to equate to self-sacrifice? Is me-time selfish? How do we raise resilient children? What is wrong with being overprotective mothers? How can we support our children through burnout and dark times? Tijana also speaks about how becoming a mother to a little girl inspired her beautiful illustrations of “sacred women” surrounded with nature and magic.
