Download Hoodwinked: Ten Myths Moms Believe and Why We All Need to Knock It Off AudioBook Free
Moms have been hoodwinked - tricked into believing lies that keep them from not only enjoying motherhood but forging friendships with other mothers who might tackle the responsibilities of motherhood diversely. Misconceptions such as "mothering is natural, easy, and instinctive" cause mothers to feel just like failures if indeed they have questions or apprehensions in bringing up their kids. Working from the premise that "just how I mother is the right (and only) way" puts up fences between mothers instead of building bridges of encouragement between them. Lies such as "I am my child's options" tempt mothers to mistakenly believe if their children make wrong choices then they, in turn, must be bad mothers. In their motivating "we've been there" style, Karen Ehman and Ruth Schwenk allow mothers to:
- Identify the 10 common myths of motherhood our current culture perpetuates
- Replace the lies with the reality of what God says in the Bible about mothering
- Acquire functional tools to help them form new and superior thought patterns and healthy habits
- Forge healthy, supportive human relationships with other mothers of all ages and periods
- Confidently embrace the calling of motherhood as they care for their own families in their own unique ways
