A case for valuing full-time caregiving

Laura C. Schlessinger centers mothers who choose to stay home while raising their children, addressing the uncertainty that can accompany that decision and the public debate surrounding it. Drawing on her background as a licensed marriage and family therapist, the book presents advice, encouragement, and support for women pursuing this family arrangement. It also argues for recognizing unpaid maternal caregiving as socially significant, framing stay-at-home motherhood as work often overlooked or questioned in broader cultural conversations. Large-print formatting may be a practical consideration for shoppers seeking an easier-to-read edition.

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.
