What Mothers Do has been written to support mothers. Rather than trying to tell you what you should and shouldn't do, it can help you to recognise much better many of the nameless, everyday things that mothers do which usually go unnoticed. In this unique and perceptive look at mothering, the author draws on many years' work with hundreds of other mothers of a wide variety of ages and backgrounds. She explores mothers' experiences to reveal what they - and you - are doing when it may look, to everyone else, like nothing.
