| Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Understanding the Crucial Link Between Mothers, Daughters, and Health by Bantam Redundant and self-absorbed | The ideas were interesting but guilt-invoking. On the positive, the diet tips for omega-3s etc. to treat mild depression was helpful. However, I quit reading it about half way through once I realized everything I do is wrong: from giving my toddlers juice to allowing them to watch TV. I have heard all of this before and sometimes it simply is not practical to do everything perfectly. It is okay if your kids have a little sugar now and then and it's okay if they drive you crazy...it's even okay if you tell them they drive you crazy sometimes.
Lathrup takes the mommy guilt a step further by telling you that you are not only ruining your kids, but also the legacy of every future generation. I don't need to purchase a book to be told I am not perfect. And, just like every other parenting book, the author probably was not stuck at home dealing with the day-to-day mundane challenges of motherhood considering she is writing books and practicing medicine. I'm sure she left explicit instructions for her nanny. | | Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Understanding the Crucial Link Between Mothers, Daughters, and Health by Bantam Interesting! | | My sister in law suggested I read this, and it was really interesting! I learned a lot more than I thought I would. I would suggest this for any woman! | | Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Understanding the Crucial Link Between Mothers, Daughters, and Health by Bantam Female Health Manual | | Best book ever written on female health. If you have a daughter, get two copies of this book. One for you and one for her; encourage her to read it and keep it handy in her life. After reading it, I got copies for my daughter-in-law, and my nieces. | | Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Understanding the Crucial Link Between Mothers, Daughters, and Health by Bantam Dissappointing | | I have so enjoyed Christians & Mona Lisa's tapes on Intuitive Healing, I thought that this would be just as good. After listening to 2 of the CD's I switched them off, they were so full of negative stuff, that someone having a baby for the first time, would be so fearful of the process. I know when having my own first child, I stopped reading the information, simply becasue we are "wired" to think the worst, instead of what we need to think "It's OK" | | Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Understanding the Crucial Link Between Mothers, Daughters, and Health by Bantam AMAZING BOOK | | This book is amazing. If you have a daughter or not this is a must read! | | Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Understanding the Crucial Link Between Mothers, Daughters, and Health by Bantam Product Description | With such groundbreaking bestsellers as Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause, Dr. Christiane Northrup is one of today’s most trusted and visionary medical experts. Now she presents her most profound and revolutionary approach to women’s health. . . .
The mother-daughter relationship sets the stage for our state of health and well-being for our entire lives. Because our mothers are our first and most powerful female role models, our most deeply ingrained beliefs about ourselves as women come from them. And our behavior in relationships—with food, with our children, with our mates, and with ourselves—is a reflection of those beliefs. Once we understand our mother-daughter bonds, we can rebuild our own health, whatever our age, and create a lasting positive legacy for the next generation.
Mother-Daughter Wisdom introduces an entirely new map of female development, exploring the “five facets of feminine power,” which range from the basics of physical self-care to the discovery of passion and purpose in life. This blueprint allows any woman—whether or not she has children—–to repair the gaps in her own upbringing and create a better adult relationship with her mother. If she has her own daughter, it will help her be the mother she has always wanted to be.
Drawing on patient case histories and personal experiences, Dr. Northrup also presents findings at the cutting edge of medicine and psychology. Discover:
•How to lay the nutritional foundation to prevent eating disorders and adult diseases
•The truth about the immunization controversy–and the true meaning of immunity
•How we can change our genetic health legacy
•Why financial literacy is essential to women’s health
•How to foster healthy sexuality and future “love maps” in our daughters
•How to balance independence with caring, and individual growth with family ties
Written with warmth, enthusiasm, and rare intelligence, Mother-Daughter Wisdom is an indispensable book destined to change lives and become essential reading for all women.
From the Hardcover edition. | | Mother-Daughter Wisdom: Understanding the Crucial Link Between Mothers, Daughters, and Health by Bantam Amazon.com | | It's a rare book that delivers so completely on such a broad promise. Mother-Daughter Wisdom is written to connect the dots between a number of separate parts: logical and emotional morality, physical and mental health, friends and family, and in an overarching sense, the relationship between being a woman's daughter and raising a daughter of your own. Because of the scope of information presented, it can be tricky to pick up the book and look for quick guidance on a particular topic such as adolescent weight issues or childhood asthma; more use, and more pleasure, will be found if you add it to your permanent reference shelf to look through in stages. Author Dr. Christiane Northup (Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom) seamlessly blends personal stories with clear research in a way that creates a compelling read from start to finish, even if the specific topic isn't necessarily one that concerns you. Information is a welcome mix of old school medical advice and new school nutrition and stress relief. In Northup's world, whole foods and loving communication can play just as important roles as antibiotics. The book is categorized somewhat loosely by age, beginning with pregnancy and labor, and continuing through infancy, childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. Each section is quite specifically tuned to relating to daughters: Mothers of sons will get some use out of sections on breastfeeding, vaccinations and the like, but emotional concerns and physical recommendations are tailor-made for women and girls, right down to the resource guide that ends the book. By itself, that resource guide is an excellent starting point for further reading, both online and in print. When added to the whole, it is just one more reason you'll reach for the book on a regular basis.
