Healthy Mother Healthy Child creating balance in everyday life was honored with a silver medal in the Parenting category in Foreword Magazine’s 2006 Book of the Year Award competition. In awarding the prize a jury of librarians and booksellers considered “editorial excellence, professional production, originality of the narrative, author credentials, and the value the book adds to its genre.”
This book is about creating balance and joy in everyday life. Drawing on her personal wisdom as registered nurse, yoga teacher, and mother of three, author Beth Irvine teaches families practical ways to build healthier lifestyles.
Using simple language and gorgeous photographs, Irvine invites her readers to engage in yoga, breathing techniques, meditation, creative expression, wholesome nutrition, and introduces them to complementary therapies such as homeopathy. She then applies these practices to common health problems, both physical and emotional, all the while respecting both conventional western and complementary medicines.
This guidebook empowers parents to lay the foundation of a healthier, happier life for their children whether by:
• Creating simple but meaningful family rituals
• Making a soothing and secure home environment
• Addressing issues affecting a child's self-esteem
Irvine's message of hope and inspiration to parents everywhere is this: just a few small steps in the right direction really will build stronger families from the inside-out.
