A case for staying home to raise children

Laura Schlessinger addresses women considering full-time caregiving, including the fear and uncertainty that can accompany that decision. Drawing on principles from her work as a marriage and family therapist, she offers advice and encouragement while examining why stay-at-home motherhood can be a point of public controversy. The book makes an explicit argument for the value of mothers raising their own children and considers the benefits it attributes to families and society. Its focus is both personal—supporting women who want to make this choice—and broader, defending a form of parenting the author says is often overlooked.

Book overview

New York Times Bestseller

The internationally syndicated radio host celebrates a group of critically important yet usually overlooked women--stay-at-home moms--and offers them words of inspiration and wisdom.

"I'm scared out of my mind."

Dr. Laura hears this frequently from women who know that staying home to raise their children is the right thing for their family. Building on the principles developed during her long career as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Dr. Laura provides a wealth of advice and support as well as compassion and inspiration to help them attain this goal. She pays special attention to the outrageous fact that stay-at-home moms are actually controversial! Dr. Laura offers a profound and unique understanding of how important it is for many mothers to raise their own children, and how stay-at-home moms benefit society.
