Appeal: Motherhood maximized, raising emotionally secure children.

This book is a must-read for mothers who are struggling to balance their careers and motherhood. Dr. Brenda Hunter brilliantly lays out the advantages of full-time motherhood, arguing that nothing can replace the care and nurturing provided by a mother. She addresses unique concerns such as financial pressure, support from husbands and personal fulfillment. The essence of this book is to help mothers raise their children in emotionally secure homes, and give them the best foundation for life.

Description

It's one of the toughest choices a mother will ever make: to "work" or be a full-time mother? It is also a long-running debate between moms who feel they contribute more to society at work than at home and those who feel mothering is not just a full-time job but a calling. In this newly repackaged, expanded, and updated edition of Home by Choice, national authority Dr. Brenda Hunter brings research to the discussion table, arguing that no one can replace the care a mother provides. As kids grow up with parental presence, she says, they develop a sense of home that will serve them all their lives. Dr. Hunter speaks directly to moms, addressing their unique concerns-such as financial pressure, support from husbands, and personal fulfillment. She makes a well-reasoned case for the enduring effects of a mother's love.
