Mutter. Sein

Many women with children struggle with the feeling of not being a good mother. Susanne Mierau identifies four major conflict areas that make life difficult for mothers today and offers supportive guidance to help them find their own fulfilling path as a mother. She addresses: 1. an outdated image of motherhood and the demands of attachment-oriented parenting, 2. insecurity stemming from one's own childhood, 3. pressure from other parents, and 4. a negative image of women and societal expectations regarding career and lifestyle that conflict with the needs of children. Personally, passionately, and based on studies, surveys, and the experiences of many women, Susanne Mierau develops criteria to cultivate an individual understanding of motherhood that fits one's own situation, alleviates stress, and brings satisfaction. Because the "good mother" simply does not exist.
