A companion volume to Meditations for New Mothers, this collection of meditations is designed for mother's who've reached the next stage-facing the new set of anxieties, joys, trials, conflicts, demands, and day-to-day challenges of parenting toddlers. Continuing with the first book's supportive, embracing tone and format, Meditations for Mothers of Toddlers offers meditations on Growing Up, Self-Esteem, Setting Limits, Revolving Personalities, Self-Blame, and Laughter ("When I hear the unbridled laughter of my child, I laugh wholeheartedly, with him"). Accompanying each meditation is a quote, from Katharine Mansfield to Elayne Boosler, on being a single mother.

A Place to Turn
Life with a toddler is like being on an emotional roller coaster. Your child is so sweet and smart one minute, so stubborn the next. And the moment after that, tears. Though it may feel as if there-s nothing to do but hang on for the ride, the important thing to remember is, all mothers go through it.
Beth Wilson Saavedra has, and out of her experience come hundreds of meditations on the anxieties, joys, and challenges of raising a young child. From issues of Values, Boundaries, Spirituality, and Rivalry to a woman-s own concerns of Sensuality, Self-Esteem, Finances, and the Doldrums, her book is a small treasure, given freely from the heart.
About the Author
Beth Wilson Saavedra is the author of Meditations for New Mothers and Meditations for Mothers of Toddlers. She is the mother of three and lives with her family in Colorado.

Good for busy moms!,
By
This review is from: Meditations for Mothers of Toddlers (Paperback)
This book is a real winner. As a mother of nineteen month old twins, I do not have a lot of time on my hands, however, I am always in need of a little inspiration. The author combines pithy quotations with great, short, reflective writing. It is easy to pick up and set down at a moment's notice, since each thought is roughly one pargraph in length. I have passed it along to several of my friends and am hoping for a sequel!

Terrible Twos..,
By AG "Agolden1" (Sunnyvale, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meditations for Mothers of Toddlers (Paperback)
I loved the toddler years...my child became her own person. Yet with that development came a lot of "no" and "mine"behaviors. Beth's book helped soothe my nerves and reassure me during this challenging phase of motherhood. She reminded me of the importance of this stage of development, not only for my child, but for me as a mother. Honestly, there are a lot of parallels between the toddler and teen years. Beth's book helped me with both.

Peaceful Parenting,
This review is from: Meditations for Mothers of Toddlers (Paperback)
As the mother of five children, I have found that you need to be a different parent to each child due to the individual qualities they each possess. There is no 'one size fits all'. That is why I have appreciated this book so much. Each time I read through a meditation, it encourages me to apply my inner wisdom to suit the challenges arising from that paticular child's situation. In essence, it is a new book each time I pick it up. We all need a calming voice of reason when we are challenged by toddler behavior on a daily basis. This book provides that voice.
