Has everyone missed the key words in the OP “what should she do at home with him all day–just sit there and look at each other?” Young mothers today sorely need education in how to be a mother to babies, toddlers & pre-schoolers. This is one of the most dynamic and gratifying periods of development during which the mother’s input and actions are critical. I am always floored by the women who imagine it is boring, or just a matter of diapers and feedings. What can the frum kehillas do to help the women understand the points of nurturing and education that they are perfectly suited to give over to their children at that age?
