What Mothers Learn

Without Being Taught

Naomi Stadlen
It is amazing to listen to mothers and hear how much they learn. Each mother learns different things – some practical, some mysterious. However, some common patterns come through. Mothers learn that: mothering is more than baby- and childcare; babies can't talk but they can communicate; mothers are 'in conversation' with their babies; through their babies, mothers learn about themselves; mothers form families based on their own values; the role of fathers is in the middle of a major change; the reasons for maternal anger need to be understood; mothers can still be feminists; part of mothering is a spiritual experience; mothers bring usable experience back to their workplaces. What Mothers Learn will show, first, how learning to be a mother takes time, and then what a wonderful experience it can be. It also makes the case that, if enough of us agree that mothering is essential, society must find a way to reward the women who do it.
