Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Addressing the often-overlooked spiritual needs of mothers, this book discusses Buddhist teachings as applied to the everyday challenges and stresses of raising children. Offered are ways for mothers to reconnect with their inner selves and become calmer and happier--with the recognition that a happier mother will be a better parent. This realistic look at motherhood acknowledges the sorrows as well as the joys of mothering and offers real and achievable coping strategies for mothers to renew their lives on a deep level.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-221) and index.
Parenthood can be a time of great inner turmoil for woman. Yet parenting books invariably focus on nurturing children rather then the mothers who struggle to raise them. This book is different. It is a book for mothers.
