After the birth of my first child, I remember receiving a Mother/Babycare
Gift basket. Accompanying a graphic of a Mother encircling her infant, the
company slogan on the contents read "you and I form a multitude". Those few
words and image spoke powerfully of the profound link between mother and
child.
Similarly, "Mommy Magic" celebrates the magic bond between a mother and her
children. Whether it is the ability to magically kiss scraped knees
"all-better" or to sense impending danger, in the eyes of a child, Mothers
are a source of wonder. Through poetry, quotations, real-life stories, and
activities, Ms. Manary has created an inspiring guide to Positive
Mothering. It is the kind of "Owner's Manual" that I wish had accompanied
my children's birth!
"Mommy Magic" is not just a feel-good tribute to Mothering, however. Life
can be messy, and Ms. Manary had the forethought to address Mothering's
tough times as well. In a particularly touching chapter, Ms.. Manary
explores techniques for supporting children during times of crisis, such as
natural disasters or death of a loved-one.
What made this book such a gem to read was its basis in reality. Many
parenting books use scientific studies as their core. "Mommy Magic", on the
other hand, is based upon real-life experiences of mothers. Who better to
celebrate the joys and trials of Motherhood than one who has lived it,
rather than studied it?
"Mommy Magic" is well written, full of useful suggestions, touching
stories, and inspiring quotes. Whether you are a seasoned pro, a new mother
or mother-to-be, "Mommy Magic" will be a welcome, and much used, addition
to your parenting library.
