Willingness to have a child

No young family completely feels worthy of such happiness. No woman can become a mother until she realizes the joy of care and warmth with which she constantly surrounds her child. The author persistently pursues the idea that you can not love a child in advance, until you give birth to him, you will not see how he makes his first steps. It is sad and mistaken to demand from yourself some ideal conditions for letting you experience joy and happiness from the very process of communicating with the baby.

Today many people associate willingness to have a child, first of all, with material well-being. Family affluence, of course, is important, but this circumstance should not become an obstacle to thinking: can I raise a little man or not? Willingness to have a child is, first of all, an inner sense of responsibility, and most importantly, a desire to care for, to give someone a piece of their soul.

Do we need sacrifice?

It seems to many women that in order for their baby to grow up healthy and happy, they need to part with their own happiness. Catherine Cronhaus discredits this myth about the need to constantly sacrifice themselves. She brings the reader to the understanding that there is no need for the baby to drop out of school, to give up personal life, to spoil relations with relatives. Yes, the image of the mother in itself looks somewhat sacrificial. There is a widespread opinion in the society that a son or daughter can not be raised without any deprivations, worries and hassles. Caring for you in any case will increase, but it is not necessary to sacrifice yourself.

A young mother, of all doubts, has the right to happiness, professional realization. But how many women can afford to really enjoy the moment of acquired motherhood? Almost all fears are tormented: what happens if I do not manage, how can I manage everything?

Guilt

This is a separate item, which deserves special attention. Cronhaus in his book emphasizes the idea that many women experience an uncontrollable sense of guilt before their child. At the same time, the available parental merits are not taken into account. Every member of the fair sex has her own point, in which she turns out to be a "bad" and unworthy mother: she does not pay much attention, develops crumbs, does not have time to get higher education, etc. It seems that sometimes we create problems for ourselves and We suffer from them. It is not necessary to strive for a perfect ideal. Remember that each person in his own way is interesting and unique. While you build a certain static image, the world will have time to change many times. It is necessary to work with a feeling of guilt . How exactly? About this Catherine tells in her remarkable book.

Excitement for the child

The mother always worries about the baby: is he fed, warmly dressed, not frozen, is not he ill? The list can be continued indefinitely. Excitement for the child is justifiable, but it spoils to live not only for the woman, but for the very baby. Only by making amazing discoveries, one can fully experience the world. Do not limit your little researcher.
