sensitive mothering  

Definición

  • Sensitive mothering is a term explored by Valerie Walkerdine and Helen Lucey in their book, Democracy in the Kitchen: Regulating Mothers and Socialising Daughters (1989), and is specifically assigned to middle-class (bourgeois) mothering. Sensitive mothering is a practice and ideology that focuses on the mother as the sole caregiver, putting the child's needs and wants above others; relies upon acknowledged expert(s), whether governmental, institutional, or popular for knowledge on how to mother; avoids conflict with a child; and displaces, avoids, and reinvents housework when children are present.
