Motherhood Is Not A Rehearsal [Paperback]

Dr. Noya Ostrowiak (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0970219040 | ISBN-13: 978-0970219046 | Publication Date: February 14, 2001

This book was written at the request of the writer’s daughters who claim that they are the evidence of successful parenting. The book is made real and complete with the daughters “input”.

Having children does not automatically make us parents. This book brings a new angle of seeing motherhood and parenthood and provides the reader with bottom-line mentoring guidelines.

The author draws from her personal experience as a mother and a teacher.

The book is written in an easy to read, down to earth manner and respects the reader as an adult.

It proves that children can actually claim that they love the way they were brought up.

This review is from: Motherhood Is Not A Rehearsal (Paperback)

Your journey is far from over with birth. It has begun in earnest and will continue for the rest of your life. It is an extraordinary time to realize the birth of your created child and to celebrate who you are and how you can encourage them to grow and develop. Since Motherhood has come to us, planned or not planned, and the child dwells with us, how are we to live? Dr. Ostrowiak outlines the promise and reminds us of the rewards. Never are we finished with learning, living, experiencing and growing in the parenting of our children. It requires intentionality and discipline, openness and presence. Dr. Ostrowiak has a unique understanding, above the normal and has developed knowledge through study and the raising her daughters. She brings reality and understanding into these pages of her own life's experiences. The footnotes you must read and re-read, there in lies the solutions.
