"Am I being a good mother?" "Do other people think I'm a good mother?" Most mothers constantly try to balance their own judgments of their children and themselves against society's expectations, which often results in worry and self-doubt. In this thought-provoking book, Bonnie Ohye uses her experience as a child psychologist and as a mother to explore the power of listening-to our own inner voices and to the voices of our children-to become the mothers our children really need. Blending illuminating research with vivid personal stories, Mothering from the Heart shows us how, through the power of listening, we free ourselves to become mothers our children trust and turn to over a lifetime.
