Readings for the Journey

The motherhood can be seen as a journey, a deep dive that transforms us in many levels, in a territory of love, where a new challenge pulses every day, and where mother and child grow together in a journey of the soul.

We know that creating strong bonds, educating with presence and learning to love maturely are some of the great challenges and joys of this path - in the encounter with a torrent of feelings.

In this selection below - recommended by mothers from our TH community - we bring readings that illuminate not only the practical and daily experience of motherhood, but also look at its emotional and spiritual dimension.

Books where we find a safe space to reflect on our own emotions, limits and learnings in this journey of life.

01 | Crianças Francesas Não Fazem Manha
by Pamela Druckerman

A light and curious reading that brings new perspectives on autonomy and education. Pamela observes, with an alert and humorous look, how the French raise children more balanced and independent.

The French don't have fear of saying no - and maybe, in the end, it's this that makes them say yes to the pleasure of conviviality.

02 | Crianças Dinamarquesas
by Jessica Joelle Alexander & Iben Dissing Sandahl

A plunge into Danish parenting practices, where emotional well-being and empathy are pillars. A lesson on how to raise resilient children in an accelerated world.

Educar não é moldar, é permitir. E, nessa permissão, ensinar o valor da gentileza e da força interior.

03 | A Educação das Virtudes Humanas
by David Isaacs

More than behavior: this is an invitation to cultivate virtues such as honesty, courage and generosity from an early age.

Goodness is silent forces - sustain character and cross time.

04 | The Child's Brain
by Daniel J. Siegel & Tina Payne Bryson

Base scientific and accessible writing. A book about how to understand neuroscience can help create children who are more secure and emotionally healthy.

The developing brain needs clear limits and much affection to flourish.

05 | A Maternidade e o Encontro com a Própria Sombra
by Laura Gutman

Motherhood transforms us in many levels - puts us face to face with everything we are and everything we fear to be.

Motherhood transforms us in many levels - puts us face to face with everything we are and everything we fear to be.

A journey for those who seek to understand the deep emotions that emerge in childbirth and postpartum, in the role of man in the relationship between mother and child, in the importance of breastfeeding, in woman's sexuality, in the loss of her identity and the consequences of an unstable family reality in the child's psyche - and brings with love an invitation to reflect on the responsibility of educating and loving with conscience.

06 | 60 Days of Fog
by Rafaela Carvalho

Rafaela shares, with touching sincerity, her real experience of motherhood - without romanticizations, with beauty and chaos side by side.

Being a mother is, sometimes, walking without seeing a palm in front - and yet, still following guided by love.

07 | The Book You Would Have liked Your Parents to Read
by Philippa Perry

Philippa explores how our own stories shape the way we raise our children.

There is no perfection in raising children - but there is something more important: connection.

Motherhood is made of many moments: joyful, challenging, silent and intense.

These books do not offer formulas, but reflections, and a circle of conversations with real mothers and women ? mostly professionals, psychiatrists and psychotherapists, who help us on this journey.
