Mastering Motherhood: Biblical Patterns for Parenting

As a mom of three young kids, "Mastering Motherhood" was encouraging. Most of my instincts went against what parenting magazines were suggesting, and I was wondering what was wrong with me! While reading this book, I found myself saying, "I thought so!" all the time. This book had a lot of common sense, practical suggestions, and good examples. Plus it had some challenges and ways that our family can improve. I felt stronger and less 'alone' as a parent after reading "Mastering Motherhood". I'm going to save it for my daughter!

Barbara Bush explains so easily what every mother has worried about. Questions like: Should each child have the same rules? What sort of discipline is appropriate for a two year old? What sort of discipline should I use for an older teen? What do I do about grandparents or teachers that favor one child above the other? As a mother am I using raising children who will be well adjusted adults? What about working outside the home? These questions and so many more are explained in a concise biblical and personal way. This book is a very practical guide to harmony in family living.
