Good mothering is important work, yet is undervalued. From her work and conversations with young mothers, Joan Salter explores the profound experiences of intimate sharing, pregnancy, birth and the first years which are unique to mothering. She explores the spiritual, soul and practical work of mothering so that this womanly art is affirmed as a special vocation.
Even in today's modern technological world, the miracle of birth stirs within many people a sense of wonder. This book is full of practical advice for one concerned with childcare. Joan Salter addresses physical and spiritual development, environment, immunization and health, and the acquisition of skills and thinking ability.
