CHOICES, CHOICES, CHOICES It's no wonder decision fatigue runs rampant, as parents today face both age-old decisions, such as how to potty train (Sarah Ockwell-Smith's Ready, Set, Go!) and prepare nutritious meals (Nicole M. Avena's What To Feed Your Baby & Toddler) to managing wisely the constant onslaught of information (Mike Brooks & John Lasser's Tech Generation). And is it any surprise that many moms struggle with rebuilding their health and energy after childbirth? Exploring the topic in-depth are Oscar Serrallach's The Postnatal Depletion Cure (reviewed below) and Dayna M. Kurtz's Mother Matters (Familius, May), offering a holistic guide on self-care through acupuncture, the expressive arts, and massage. To help combat the overwhelming barrage of parenting advice, popular Christian authors Sally and Clay Clarkson's The Lifegiving Parent (Tyndale House, May) shares principles for creating a home that nurtures, guides, and renews, while Stella O'Malley's Bully-Proof Kids (Gill, May) presents an essential work on an important subject regrettably topping today's headlines.
