Your baby is crying incessantly and you have no idea what to do. Is it serious? Is it earache or teething or a cold coming on? Should you visit the doctor? How can you soothe your baby? What if it’s nothing and they think you’re an overreacting mother?
So much is expected of parents today. 21st century parenting often means caring for your child almost in a vacuum. Gone are the communities of knowledge and understanding; the support and comfort of extended families and vibrant neighbourhoods.
In their place is the often-overwhelmed new mother, alone with her crying baby.
How is a parent expected to gain the assurance our foremothers grew up with? Things like the confidence to treat minor ailments using simple home remedies, or the judgement to decide if an illness or wound is trivial or warrants medical intervention?
Home Healing is a primer on caring for your child; it will assist you in gaining confidence in the most fundamental and difficult of all jobs – parenting.
