The Tao of Motherhood (Family & Childcare)
The Tao of Motherhoodis ideal for mothers who long to blend their  spirituality into parenting. This collection of brief essays draws upon the  ancient teachings of Lao Tzu, reminding mothers of the fundamental truths that  prevail when every other piece of parenting advice fails. Because the  passages are brief, the book is accessible at any harried moment. It is also applicable to every stage of  motherhood--from tending to  infants to the mothering of adult children; for example, in the passage on  "Paradox," author Vimala McClure writes, "There is nothing more receptive and  flowing than water, yet there is nothing better for polishing the stone. A  mother's nature is paradox. Your strength is in your gentleness. Your  authority is in receptivity. Your power is in letting go."
