Aceeasi autoare ce a publicat cartile bestseller Dansul fricii si De ce nu vrem iertarea? ne ofera acum o carte despre ce inseamna sa fii mama si cum te transforma asta, pe dinauntru si pe dinafara impreuna cu tot sistemul tau de relationare. Scriind din dubla perspectiva de psiholog si de mama, Lerner ne impartaseste povesti din istoria ei profund personala, care traverseaza toata gama de emotii de la hilar pana la inima franta. Incepand cu nasterea sau adoptia si sfarsind cu acel cuib parasit din care au plecat copiii deveniti tineri adulti, avem in fata o carte induiosatoare si plina de duh, despre ce inseamna sa fii o mama imperfecta.

Dr. Harriet Lerner, Ph.D. (Clinical Psychology, City University of New York; M.A. Educational Psychology, Columbia University Teachers College), was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, the second of two daughters. Her parents, Archie and Rose Goldhor, were both children of Russian-Jewish immigrant parents. They were high school graduates who wanted their daughters to "be someone" at a time when women were only supposed to "find someone."

"Achievement was next to Godliness for my sister, Susan, and me." Harriet notes. "My father would talk about ‘My daughters the doctors’ while we were still in our strollers."

Growing up, Harriet and Susan spent weekends at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, the Brooklyn Public Library and the Brooklyn Museum. "These places were free and just a subway token away."

Lerner's mother had an unwavering belief in her daughters and strong principles about how to raise children. In Harriet's words:

"Even during the hardest economic times my mother, Rose, made sure that Susan and I had four things that she believed were essential to our later success:

1. Good shoes (I don't mean stylish)
2. A firm, quality mattress
3. A top pediatrician (none other than Doctor Benjamin Spock);
4. A therapist

Unlike other parents of the day who considered therapy to be a last resort of the mentally ill, my mother thought it was a learning experience. She put me in therapy before I was three, after obtaining a health insurance policy that provided weekly therapy sessions for one dollar. I later joked that my mother would send me to a therapist if I came home from school with anything less than a B plus. I was exaggerating, but only a little bit. "

Her mother's belief in therapy undoubtedly contributed to Lerner's career choice. She decided to become a clinical psychologist before finishing kindergarten - a decision she never veered from.

EDUCATION AND CAREER
Lerner attended local public schools in Brooklyn including Midwood High School. She did her undergraduate work at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where she majored in psychology and Indian studies. She spent her junior year studying and doing research in Delhi, India. Lerner received an M.A. in educational psychology from Teachers' College of Columbia University and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the City University of New York. It was there that she met and later married Steve Lerner, also a clinical psychologist.

Harriet and Steve did a pre-doctoral internship at Mt. Zion Hospital in San Francisco and moved to Topeka, Kansas in 1972 for a two-year postdoctoral training program at the Menninger Foundation, where they subsequently joined the staff.

"We always planned to move back to Berkeley or New York,” says Lerner. “But two years in Topeka turned into two decades - and then some.” She now identifies herself as a Kansan and claims to have overcome her coastal arrogance. She has grown to love the simple life (meaning she has never had to learn to parallel park) and the big open skies. After Menninger closed shop in Topeka and moved to Houston, Lerner and her husband moved to Lawrence, Kansas where they currently have a private practice. They have two sons, Matt and Ben.

Lerner is best known for her scholarly work on the psychology of women and family relationships, and for her many best-selling books. Feminism and family systems theory continue to inform her writing. She has dedicated her writing life to translating complex theory into accessible and useful prose, and has become one of our nation's most trusted and respected relationship experts.

Lerner's books have been published in more than thirty-five foreign editions. Her latest book (January 2012) is Marriage Rules: A Manual for the Married and the Coupled Up.

Un copil este o binecuvântare!
A fi mamă simți, înveți și transmiți. Fiecare copil este unic, fiecare mamă e unică. E important să lăsăm ca lucrurile să decurgă de la sine, să gândim mai puțin, să simțim mai mult și să prețuim mereu clipa de acum.
"Copiii te vor învăța să te descoperi pe tine însăți și îți vor arăta cum e să nu te ridici la nivelul celei mai importante responsabilități pe care o vei avea vreodată. [...] Copiii sunt cei mai buni profesori care să-ți predea cele mai profunde lecții spirituale ale vieții : că durerea și suferința fac parte din viață, la fel de mult ca fericirea și bucuria ;că schimbarea și efemerul sunt singurele pe care putem conta ca fiind certe;că nu suntem noi personajele principale ;și că dacă nu putem găsi maturitatea de a capitula în fața acestor adevăruri dificile, vom fi mereu nefericiți că viețile noastre (și ale copiilor ) nu decurg așa cum ne-am așteptat sau plănuit. Viața nu se desfășoară așa cum ne-am așteptat sau cum am plănuit și nimeni nu-i perfect - nici noi, nici copiii noștri. [...] Copilul tău te va iubi cu toate imperfecțiunile tale, dacă și tu vei face la fel pentru el - iar acesta e adevăratul miracol. "

Am trecut si trec printr-o perioada dificila din punct de vedere emotional in care ma simt singura, neajutorată si ca oricate eforturi fac sunt in zadar si am simtit nevoia sa citesc aceasta carte. M-a ajutat sa imi readuc aminte ca nu sunt si nu o sa fiu o mama perfecta si e Ok. M-a ajutat sa imi amintesc ce abilitați si valori am, ce am de facut si cum ar trebui sa comunic cu copiii. Sunt o mama imperfecta si incerc sa fiu una suficient de buna pentru a-mi ajuta copiii.

Parentingul privit retrospectiv si detasat, luand in calcul si factori externi si mai putin controlabili (ex etnie). Subiecte mai putin abordate in majoritatea cartilor de parenting, imbracate cu optimism (realist) si incurajari folositoare. Pare mai digerabil rolul de parinte cand ajungi la finalul paginilor
