Download or read book Watching You Grow written by Punita Rice and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of "Watching You Grow: A Simple Baby Memory Book" When mom of two Punita Rice (writer of South Asian American Experiences in Schools, Toddler Weaning, and 100 Days of Gratitude) was filling in a page of her younger son's baby book one day, she thought she was going to lose her mind. Because what she wanted was to jot down some notes about what her son liked and disliked at age 1... but the baby book had no room allocated for such matters. Instead, she flipped through ridiculous pages with teeth diagrams and doctor visit records (Because when her son is an adult, maybe a new parent, reading through the baby book his own mom painstakingly made for him, THAT'S what he's going to want to read about in his baby book... Exact dates each tooth emerged, and immunization records. WHAT!?)...and she had to squeeze notes about his favorite books and songs in next to spots designated for descriptions of his dentist's office. (WHAT EVEN ARE THESE BABY BOOK QUESTIONS!?) She decided there has to be a better way.A baby book should not be full of nonsense.Instead, a baby book should just focus on the things that matter in the story of your baby (until they're not a baby anymore... We'll say that's at 13, AND NOT AT AGE 5 THANKYOUVERYMUCH, OLD BABY BOOKS!). A baby book should be a place to record the important stuff from birth until at least 13. And it should be a place to record the memories, celebrations, ans firsts (that can be recorded in an intuitive, chronological order) that matter, without a bunch of clutter. Watching You Grow: A Simple Baby Memory Book "Watching You Grow: A Simple Baby Memory Book" is one of the best baby books for new parents. It's simple, and focuses on helping you keep track of the most important stuff from birth to age 13 (when your baby becomes a teen!). Why "Watching You Grow" is a new kind of baby book Unlike most baby books that include a ton of confusing and unnecessary pages and prompts, this simple baby book gives you what matters: space for recording your baby's important milestones and favorite things and celebrations and firsts... Without a bunch of filler. This baby book was designed thoughtfully by a teacher and mom of two. She filled out two different kinds of popular baby books for her kids and through both processes thought, WHAT EVEN ARE THESE QUESTIONS AND PAGES!?, before designing what she thinks a baby book should be. And truth be told, even this baby book might not have exactly what every mom or dad is looking for (it's not pizza, it can't please everyone), BUT it comes pretty close. What's Inside Here are some of the kinds of pages in the world's greatest baby book... First days at home with the baby Memories from the first few weeks Two page spreads for each month of the first year, with room for a picture, and likes/dislikes Fun "about" spreads (to record memories and firsts and information about your child) for EACH year from age 1 to age 13 Birthday celebration pages for every year with a space for a photo And a page for you to write your child a letter each year Why you should buy this baby book. ..Seriously, there's no other baby book out there like this. (I know, I looked.) The perfect baby book for second time parents (first time parents too, definitely, but they might not appreciate just how much better this is, without having suffered through regular baby books first!). Some of that was a little tongue in cheek but for real: Get this baby book for every expecting mom or dad you know. You're welcome.
Book Synopsis Mothers Who Can't Love by : Susan Forward
Download or read book Mothers Who Can't Love written by Susan Forward and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Mothers Who Can't Love: A Healing Guide for Daughters, Susan Forward, Ph.D., author of the smash #1 bestseller Toxic Parents, offers a powerful look at the devastating impact unloving mothers have on their daughters—and provides clear, effective techniques for overcoming that painful legacy. In more than 35 years as a therapist, Forward has worked with large numbers of women struggling to escape the emotional damage inflicted by the women who raised them. Subjected to years of criticism, competition, role-reversal, smothering control, emotional neglect and abuse, these women are plagued by anxiety and depression, relationship problems, lack of confidence, and difficulties with trust. They doubt their worth, and even their ability to love. Forward examines the Narcissistic Mother, the Competitive Mother, the Overly Enmeshed mother, the Control Freak, Mothers who need Mothering, and mothers who abuse or fail to protect their daughters from abuse. Filled with compelling case histories, Mothers Who Can’t Love outlines the self-help techniques Forward has developed to transform the lives of her clients, showing women how to overcome the pain of childhood and how to act in their own best interests. Warm and compassionate, Mothers Who Can’t Love offers daughters the emotional support and tools they need to heal themselves and rebuild their confidence and self-respect.
Download or read book Use Your Words written by Kate Hopper and published by Cleis Press. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USE YOUR WORDS introduces the art of creative nonfiction to women who want to give written expression to their lives as mothers. Written by award-winning teacher and writer, Kate Hopper, this book will help women find the heart of their writing, learn to use motherhood as a lens through which to write the world, and turn their motherhood stories into art. Each chapter of USE YOUR WORDS focuses on an element of craft and contains a lecture, a published essay, and writing exercises that will serve as jumping-off points for the readers’ own writing. Chapter topics include: the importance of using concrete details, an overview of creative nonfiction as a genre, character development, voice, humor, tense and writing the “hard stuff,” reflection and back-story, structure, revision, and publishing. The content of each lecture is aligned with the essay/poem in that chapter to help readers more easily grasp the elements of craft being discussed. Together the chapters provide a unique opportunity for mother writers to learn and grow as writers. USE YOUR WORDS takes the approach that creative writing can be taught, and this underscores each chapter. When students learn to read like writers, to notice how a piece is put together, and to question the choices a writer makes, they begin to think like writers. When they learn to ground their writing in concrete, sensory details and begin to understand how to create believable characters and realistic dialogue, their own writing improves. USE YOUR WORDS reflects Kate’s style as a teacher, guiding the reader in a straightforward, nurturing, and passionate voice. As one student noted in a class evaluation: “Kate is a born writer and teacher, and her enthusiasm for essays about motherhood and for teaching the nuts and bolts of writing so that ordinary mothers have the tools to write their stories is a gift to the world. She is raising the value of motherhood in our society as she helps mothers build their confidence and strengthen their game as writers.”
Download or read book Mother Hunger written by Kelly McDaniel and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insatiable need for sex and love. Periods of overeating or starving. A pattern of unstable and painful relationships. Does this sound painfully familiar? Trauma counselor Kelly McDaniel has seen these traits over and over in clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors-and are unable to stop. Many of us find ourselves stuck in unhealthy habits simply because we don't see a better way. With Mother Hunger, McDaniel helps women break the cycle of destructive behavior by taking a fresh look at childhood trauma and its lasting impact. In doing so, she destigmatizes the shame that comes with being under-mothered and misdiagnosed. McDaniel offers a healing path with powerful tools that include therapeutic interventions and lifestyle changes in service to healthy relationships. The constant search for mother love can be a lifelong emotional burden, but healing begins with knowing and naming what we are missing. McDaniel is the first clinician to identify Mother Hunger, which demystifies the search for love and provides the compass that each woman needs to end the struggle with achy, lonely emptiness, and come home to herself.

Book Synopsis Discovering the Inner Mother by : Bethany Webster
Download or read book Discovering the Inner Mother written by Bethany Webster and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sure to become a classic on female empowerment, a groundbreaking exploration of the personal, cultural, and global implications of intergenerational trauma created by patriarchy, how it is passed down from mothers to daughters, and how we can break this destructive cycle. Why do women keep themselves small and quiet? Why do they hold back professionally and personally? What fuels the uncertainty and lack of confidence so many women often feel? In this paradigm-shifting book, leading feminist thinker Bethany Webster identifies the source of women’s trauma. She calls it the Mother Wound—the systemic disenfranchisement of women by the patriarchy—and reveals how this cycle is perpetuated by wounded mothers who unconsciously pass on damaging beliefs and behaviors to their daughters. In her workshops, online courses, and talks, Webster has helped countless women re-examine their lives and their relationships with their mothers, giving them the vocabulary to voice their pain, and encouraging them to share their experiences. In this manifesto and self-help guide, she offers practical tools for identifying the manifestations of the Mother Wound in our daily life and strategies we can use to heal ourselves and prevent our daughters from enduring the same pain. In addition, she offers step-by-step advice on how to reconnect with our inner child, grieve the mother we didn’t have, stop people-pleasing, and, ultimately, transform our heartache and anger into healing and self-love. Revealing how women are affected by the Mother Wound, even if they don’t personally identify as survivors, Discovering the Inner Mother revolutionizes how we view mother-daughter relationships and gives us the inspiration and guidance we need to improve our lives and ultimately create a more equitable society for all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best teachers in life are those who have not only studied, but truly experienced the message that they are trying to relay. Whether it is religion, sports, or simple life lessons, your words and actions must be genuine. A wise man once said, You can't teach what you don't know, but if you do know, why not spread the knowledge. The words on these pages were written to inspire hope. They are not only meant for the multitude of people that don't believe a woman can raise a son into a successful man without the immediate help of a father, but as well as for the individuals who are proving that theory wrong every day. There is hope. Through faith, strength, dedication, and prayer a former school teacher turned pastor was able to successfully raise her son into a respectable, focused, and driven man. This story and its lessons highlight the ups and downs, the smiles and frowns, and the tears of joy and sorrow that are all a part of the tremendous journey that a mother and son embark on together through life's everlasting trials and tribulations.
