The Present Mother: How to Deepen Your Connection with the Present Moment, Yourself, and Your Child by Catherine Weiss is a pioneering book with strong spiritual and psychological underpinnings, a book designed to help women transform the experience of motherhood into one of empowerment and healing. The very first lines of the introduction to this groundbreaking book address readers in clear and compassionate terms: “This might be the first book you've read that is exclusively about you, dear mother. This book focuses on your thoughts, your enlightenment, and your presence with your child.” And she accomplishes this task with an expertise and an intelligence that is rare, a book filled with insight and the wisdom that mothers need to connect more deeply with their children and with themselves.
The author looks deeply at the challenges of motherhood, helps mothers understand the power of presence and how it nurtures and heals them, and lays the foundations on which the child can grow in confidence and experience good psychological, emotional, and spiritual stability. It's a book about healing, a book about rediscovering the power to transform negative emotions and stress into the energy that fortifies the bond between mother and child. Catherine Weiss speaks with an irresistible voice, breaking complex concepts into practical and actionable ideas that readers can easily absorb and implement. Her writing is filled with wisdom, enriched by her personal experience and her well-grounded knowledge in psychology. The Present Mother: How to Deepen Your Connection with the Present Moment, Yourself, and Your Child introduces a new way of parenting and helps readers discover the hidden gems in the doldrums and challenges of motherhood. A book that every mother should read.
