YOU SEXY MOTHER: A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO MOTHERHOOD

Book ID/图书代码： 04410007B17579

English Summary/英文概要： Somewhere, somehow, in a storm of feminism and corporate ladder-climbing, motherhood became devalued. As a society, and as women, we are so often critical of other mums and of ourselves. We try to do it all and be super-women, rejecting offers of help and support and then wondering why we feel tired, guilty, stressed, and even depressed.
Motherhood, argues Jodie Hedley-Ward, author of new book You Sexy Mother, should be reinvented in our modern society. No longer are women required to be martyrs; no longer is the woman’s place in the home; and never before have so many options been open to us.
Whether you take six weeks or six years off to raise your children, Jodie believes that you can make the most of your new-found ‘free time’ to embrace new and exciting life changes – and she argues that this is the best possible way to be a positive and inspirational role model to your own family.
You Sexy Mother offers sensible advice on self-perception, self-respect, the importance of relationships, creativity through motherhood, and making use of community resources – and concludes with a transformational 10-day turnaround plan. The 10-Day Turnaround Plan is a fast-track programme designed to create explosive positive change and set women on the path to leading the life they truly want and deserve.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 老是被孩子綁住，生活總是柴米油鹽一成不變，當一個媽媽就真的甘願作個黃臉婆嗎?
作者Jodie發現沒有任何一本書能支持她的理念，她相信身為家庭主婦的人生其實可以活得更精彩，更感性、更健康，最重要的更快樂。
這本書You Sexy Mother重新檢視女人家庭生活的價值和定義。作一個充滿活力、性感的新時代女人。(CL)

Awards/获奖情况：“Baby brain, permanent tiredness and an all consuming urge to pacify this pint sized wriggling human being who has just made her into a besotted mother! Every woman who is a mother or grandmother whether they are 20-plus or 80-plus will empathise with the first look at parenthood. It is the mixture of hormones and enormous unexpected waves of love and fascination that makes us forget the wonderful people we really are.
Jodie Hedley-Ward recognised the need for women to retain and regain their authentic selves. This book is a common sense look with a modern twist, peppered with vignettes of humour from her personal journay. ... a wonderful, illustrative, well researched and well written book ... an excellent read for new fathers too, who may be at a loss when an attentive, loving wife turns her total waking time to the youngest in the household.
Guess what the mothers of my grandchildren will find under the Christmas tree in three months’ time? I think they will both be thrilled to bits with my choice this year.”---Wanganui Chronicle
