The Mother's Book was published in 1831. Its Author, Lydia Maria Child, had already received acclaim as a novelist and the author of a popular book of domestic advice. While this volume never earned the enthusiastic following of The American Frugal Housewife among 19th century readers, it provides late 20th century readers with a comprehensive view of childhood and motherhood a century and a half ago. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pierides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include: On the Means of Developing the Bodily Senses in Earliest Infancy Early Development of the Affections Early Cultivation of Intellect Management in Childhood Amusements and Employments Sunday, Religion, Views of Death, Supernatural Appearances Advice Concerning Books List of Good Books for Various Ages Pol

reviewed The Mother's Book on December 10, 2018 The Mother's Book
I picked up this book at a museum store mainly to laugh at it. I thought it would have lots of overly-strict punishments or weird tonics made of onions and mercury or something like that. It's actually full of the most gentle and kind parenting advice, and after skimming it briefly in the store, I bought it. It very calmly discusses only the psychological aspects of parenting: it stresses patience and gentleness (when you can't take a crying infant anymore, take a deep breath and make a short prayer), how to handle a temper tantrum (pick the child up so you are on the same level, look into their eyes while you gently wash their face and brush their hair), how to handle constant questions (Answer them when you can, and when you are busy with other things, say they must wait, but make sure to keep your promise and attend to the question later when you can. A child whose needs are met will wait patiently.) ' and so on. Overall, practical advice on gentle parenting from an era when having children was just part of life, with no focus on growing the perfect "superbaby". Many books now seem to focus on getting baby to a rigorous schedule or developmental milestones, but this is just a sweet book on helping your children grow into useful, kind adults. I really enjoyed this book and I re-read it often.
