The Power of a Mother

This one might be interesting...I have been thinking about the power of a mother lately. What impact do they really have on a childs life? Especially when they are grown? I always come back to the same conclusion, it is the mother who makes or breaks a child. I have seen both examples of this. A child who is praised, cheered on, inspired, encouraged, to learn forgiveness and persistence and most importantly shown unconditional love is bound to prevail! They are given the tools to show them how to succeed in life. Learning how to be strong and independent. A child who is abused, made fun of, spoken down to, disgraced, shamed, and shown no love or affection. They are bound to be confused, hostile, to rebel and to be broken. All because the one who was supposed to love them most, failed them. Maybe this is not the case 100% of the time. But I encourage you to hold your child a little closer, tell them you love them a little more, and always be there for them, whether they are soaring high, or need to be picked up. If you don't have children yet, think of a child you know...and I know you know at least one. Take time to let them know you care. Sometimes all we need, is that assurance that someone is out there, and they care about us.
