“Excerpts from the Heart of a Mom creates a new and exciting paradigm for parenting that gives parents a model for creating the kind of children we all wish would run the world when they grow up. Jennifer begins by using prenatal yoga to reset her nervous system for supporting the unborn in what some healers would call The Long Tide, a much slower pace in which we are deeply connected, resourced and resilient. She then progresses this strong sense of presence by parenting with respect, honesty, focus, and other qualities, each expressed in a brief and easy to absorb chapter elucidated with occasional examples. She sets intentions for each day and challenges her baby to do as much as possible for himself rather than rescuing him at the first cry, while encouraging every effort and apologizing to her child when she makes a mistake. This parenting builds trust and critical thinking in the child. She gets the energy experience and doesn’t need modern science to tell her how conscious babies are. And she gently shreds parenting beliefs that cause our children to be codependent, discouraged, enraged, depressed and unheard, with consequences that reverberate through every layer of modern society.

While I think this book is a jewel for all parents and mothers-to-be, I am especially excited about how it brings heart and mind together in a way that will engage mothers who, after much anticipation, have left the stimulation of the workforce and find themselves bored to idiocy by being a mother. I love this book!”
