Nothing changes your life like a child, and there's really no way to
prepare for it. Suddenly you're working all the time, hitting the red
line on stress, and you look around and wonder, where's the support?
Mother Nurture does what no other book can, it:
- considers the long-term well-being and health of mothers
- explains how women can become physicially depleted and actually ill as
a result of the demands and stresses of raising a family today
- identifies the Depleted Mother Syndrome many women experience
- presents a comprehensive, integrated program of care for a mother's
body, mind, and intimate relationships
- tells in detail how a mom and dad can work together and share the load
fairly
- integrates the perspectives of a psychologist,
acupuncturist/nutritionist, and obstetrician/gynecologist.
This is more than another self-help book. With compelling evidence,
clear logic, and heartfelt personal testimony, it is a manifesto for an idea whose time has come: that our society absolutely must take better care of its mothers - and by doing so, take better care of its fathers, children, and families. We have identifed the single greatest unrecognized public health problem in America - the depletion and stress-related illnesses of millions of mothers - and we have created a practical, sensible, research-based package of solutions to it that mothers and fathers can use in their own lives, their own lives. Additionally, Mother Nurture contains the first, comprehensive program to help couples understand and support each other, and work together and stay together, after children arrive - offering concrete help for arguably the greatest social problem the nation faces today: the widespread break-up of
families.
