Embracing the love between Mother and Child 🚸
In the week of love, we celebrate the moms who give their whole heart and being to their true loves; their kids.
Dear Neomom,
Do you know that the love between a mother and child is one of the most powerful and unique bonds in the world? From the moment a mother first holds her newborn in her arms, a deep connection is formed that cannot be replicated or replaced.
Whether it's a warm hug, a kiss on the forehead, or a simple touch, a mother's love is ever present, providing comfort and reassurance to her child. It is all-encompassing and it is that which helps a child to grow and thrive. It is also patient and ever forgiving, always ready to guide and support her child as they both navigate life's challenges. She is usually the first person a child turns to in times of need and the first to celebrate their successes.
The strong mother-child attachment is not limited to just one's biological children. It can extend to children that are fostered, adopted, or step children. A mother's love is not limited by blood or genetics as it is built on the foundation of care, nurturing, and protection. All mothers need to realize that they have deep and long lasting impacts on development of their young children's brains, teaching them unconsciously their first lessons in empathy and selflessness as well as shaping their minds. Children who have healthy attachments with their caregivers are more likely to form stable relationships later on. Thus our relationships with our mothers actually affect us profoundly and shape the people we become.
However, a child should never be made to feel as if they need to earn their mother’s love. This leaves a void in their heart all of their life. A mother’s love should be unconditional to establish trust and a firm foundation of emotional intimacy in the child’s life. If love is withheld, a child will look for it in a million other places albeit in vain. The emotional foundation we give our children at home is foundational to their life and the power of a mother’s love can not be overestimated.
The love between a mother and child is one of the most precious gifts in life. It is a bond built on trust, protection, and unconditional love. It evolves as a child grows and lasts a lifetime. Being a mother is one of the most challenging and yet rewarding roles a woman can undertake.
Cherish this bond with your little one and all the special moments that come with it.
