Summary of Kelly McDaniel's Mother Hunger

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 Mothering is the most important job there is, and yet when we try to define what makes a good mother, we are unable to find the right words. Mothering requires three essential elements: nurturance, protection, and guidance.

#2 Mother Hunger emerges from the intergenerational inheritance of a culture that prefers men and masculine traits, while devaluing women and feminine traits.

#3 Mothering is a consuming occupation because little ones come with powerful survival instincts. From the very beginning of life, instincts compel newborns to stay close to their biological mother, as her voice, smell, and body are already familiar.

#4 Mother Hunger is the term I created to describe what it feels like to grow up without a quality of mothering that imprints emotional worth and relational security. Mother Hunger is a deep, insatiable yearning for love.
