Me with my Mother and my Daughter |
Spring brings us many gifts: green grass, warmer
temperatures, singing birds, and blooming flowers. It just brought us Easter,
and soon we will have Mother’s Day.
As we have been marketing Disentangle, we have been looking at its many applications. One of
those applications is to parenting, and even more specifically, the material in
Disentangle can be applied to
mothering.
In preparation for an article for Mother’s Day, my publicist
asked me to answer some questions about how mothering can involve entanglements
and what we as mothers can do to have our own self as we simultaneously help
our child develop and then have their own self.
In my usual way, I wrote way more than she needed for the
article we ultimately created. I liked the questions she had given me to
answer, and I liked the answers I wrote. So I have decided to offer all that I
wrote on mothering and entanglements in a series of blogs entitled On Mothering.
This blog is the announcement of this series On Mothering. There will be eight parts
in this series which will run every day or so here on my website until Mothers’
Day on May 8th.
The series intends to help us mothers see how to have both
healthy children and a healthy self. This can be a challenge and involve an
on-going balancing act, but my experience is that it is so worth the effort for
all concerned.
