Publisher's Summary
Buddhism for Mothers explores the potential to be with your children in the all-important present moment; to gain the most joy out of being with them. How can this be done calmly and with a minimum of anger, worry and negative thinking? How can mothers negotiate the changed conditions of their relationships with partners, family and even with friends?
Using Buddhist practices, Sarah Napthali offers ways of coping with the day-to-day challenges of motherhood. Ways that also allow space for the deeper reflections about who we are and what makes us happy. By acknowledging the sorrows as well as the joys of mothering Buddhism for Mothers can help you shift your perspective so that your mind actually helps you through your day rather than dragging you down. This is Buddhism at its most accessible, applied to the daily realities of ordinary parents.
Critic Reviews
"Emotional support of the finest kind: funny, uplifting, reassuring, real and wise. A truly 'mothering' book for mothers... and their children will benefit hugely." (Stephanie Dowrick, author of Choosing Happiness)

Brilliant, inspirational, down to earth.
I. Love. This. Book.
It's just exactly what I needed. I've been curious about Buddhism for years but unsure where to begin. This was the perfect place. I found this book really spoke to me.
After reading this I feel refreshed and motivated and much more positive about myself as a mum. Highly recommend.

The books focus in acceptance and how to better manage it.
Good book, great listening.
It focuses a lot on the hardship of being a mother and a wife.
I do not agree with all authors opinion, but it didn’t make me abandon the book.
I’d have loved to hear more about Buddhism during pregnancy as well, and after going back to work but in overall all the teachings can be applicable in these circumstances as well.

Lovely Book
Buddhism for Mothers is a lovely, life affirming and comforting book. Sarah shows us we are truly united in this work we do as mothers.
I found the middle chapters to be a little dragging with all the lovey dovey of mothering, but that was probably just my mood on those days. The beirf and generalising description of the three sects towards the end was very helpful and the last chapter was simply delicious!

so well balance in learning about Buddhism
this was my very first time I have learnt about Buddhism, and now feel I have so many skills within me, to preserve the beautiful transformation of becoming a mother.
