Mothers Are a Source Of Inspiration

mother

It’s a truism that mothers are the source of love in our lives, that they show us how we should relate to those people around us, and that in many ways, our relationship with our mother is the foundation of our emotional happiness. So how can mothers inspire their children?

A child watches nothing so closely as his parents.

Before a baby begins to walk and talk, he is absorbing the things that are going on around him. If a mother is loving and attentive, and above all consistent, then the baby feels safe. Imagine the trauma of not being sure that if you are hungry you will be fed, that if you are wet or tired, you will be comforted. The relationship between a child’s mother and father will be the model for the adult partnerships that that child will in his or her turn create.

A mother inspires by example. A selfish mother (and they do exist) who puts herself first above her duties to her family, will produce children who behave in the same way. Loving mothers have children who in their turn will be loving parents, because she has modeled that behavior to them from the moment they are born, and even before. A mother who forgets that once she has a child, she becomes the frame, and not the picture, is a mother who will raise children who will almost certainly grow up to be self absorbed and unable to love.

Many women these days raise their children single handed, without the help of a loving partner. Being both mom and dad, and the only breadwinner, is an almost overwhelmingly difficult job. Children are, in fact, not stupid, and many of them are deeply inspired by, and grateful to, the mother who is performing miracles of nurturing on their behalf.

Of course, mothers these days almost all play a role in the outside world of work as well as in the home. It’s vital that girls in particular are inspired to take on any role in life that they desire and are capable of, but boys can also be encouraged by seeing what their mother can achieve.

Just about all mothers encourage their children to try to do well at school, in sport and in life in general. Inspiration though, is more about leading by example. A mother who loves her family and puts them first, but who also finds room in her life to achieve in the world of work, to be absorbed in hobbies and interests, and to attend to her spiritual needs, is a mother who will inspire her children to become happy and well rounded adults.
