All parents are inundated with advice about how best to look after their children. The place of the family in modern society is changing, but the role of mothers is as significant as it ever was and motherhood should be recognised and celebrated as one of the most crucial and wonderful vocations in the world. This inspirational book considers the art of motherhood in all its guises and looks at traditions, therapies and techniques from all around the world. The Art of Motherhood is brimming with tried and tested tips that encourage mothers to use traditional techniques, natural therapies and herbal remedies when caring for their children - and themselves. Suggestions include using meditation, massage, yoga and music to deal with tantrums, as well as feeding and sleeping problems, and trying natural remedies, such as homeopathic cures for teething and herbal tees for colic. Scattered among the practical tips in this thoughtful volume are inspiring quotations, reassuring thoughts and evocative images that truly celebrate the beautiful art of motherhood.
