The Complete Buddhism for Mothers: A joyful approach to compassionate parenting

by Sarah Napthali

Firmly grounded in the day-to-day reality of being a mother, this revised and updated edition of The Complete Buddhism for Mothers gives personal and honest advice based on Buddhist teachings as applied to the everyday challenges of bringing up children.
Become a calmer and happier mother with The Complete Buddhism for Mothers, fully revised and updated for the modern mother.
Entering parenthood can be a time of great inner turmoil for a woman, yet parenting books invariably focus on nurturing children rather than the mothers who face the challenge of raising them. This book is different.
Bound together in this edition, Buddhism for Mothers and Buddhism for Mothers of Young Children explore the joy of being with your children in the all-important present moment, inspiring you to be more patient, loving and attentive towards your family members, other parents, and, most of all, yourself.
Writing from personal experience and weaving in stories from other mothers throughout her narrative, Sarah shows us how spiritual and mindful parenting can help all mothers to be more open and content. Even if exploring Buddhism at this busy stage of your life is not where you thought you'd be, the personal and honest advice in this book is well worth reading.
