The Tao of Motherhood

Drawing on the ancient Taoist classic attributed to Lao Tzu, this book offers a set of reflective passages on raising children. Each short meditation is meant to be read slowly, as a calm and encouraging companion for mothers and fathers at any stage, from the newborn years onward. Rather than issuing rules, the author aims to offer a gentle, affirming view of the craft of parenting, with support and guidance drawn from the older wisdom of the text.
