Essay on Mother for Students and Children

500 words essay on mother for school students.

First of all, Mother is a word which fills everyone with emotions . A Mother is certainly the most important human being in everyone’s life. Mother’s Love for her child certainly cannot be compared with anything. Her level of forgiveness is unmatchable. A Mother is capable of forgiving any wrongdoing. Mother is the most important woman in everyone’s life. A mother sacrifices her happiness for her child. No one else can care for their kids the way a Mother does. A Mother is great and does not need anyone like me explaining that. This essay on Mother is a small attempt to discover the greatness of a mother.

Importance of a Mother

First of all, Mothers are highly responsible women. They certainly play a very important role in the upbringing of a chil d. Most noteworthy, Mothers play a huge role in determining a child’s attitude. Whether a child will be good or evil in the future depends upon the Mother. The moral values taught by Mother probably play a huge role. Individuals often remember their Mother’s values until old age. Hence, the Mother is responsible for the well-being of society. The future of society in a large way is the result of a Mother’s teaching.

Mothers share a deep connection with their children. This connection certainly cannot be matched by anyone else. Even fathers fail to establish that type of understanding. The origins of this connection happen from infancy. Most noteworthy, a Mother can understand her infant child without communication. This certainly develops a strong emotional connection between a mother and child. This bond seems to carry into adult life. A Mother, it seems like, can always tell when we are feeling hungry.

Mothers also are the emotional backbone of the family. They support everyone’s feeling in a family. Family members can certainly tell their emotions to Mothers without worry. An individual can share almost any secret with Mother. This is because Mothers have a huge level of trust with their family. Furthermore, Mothers have an extremely forgiving nature. Hence, even wrongdoing can be shared with a Mother.

Another way of supporting Mothers is to speak words of affirmation.

Most noteworthy, a Mother’s heart is made of gold. A few words of acknowledgment would fill her heart with happiness. There are probably several ways of doing so. One way is to praise the meal cooked by her. Above all, such acknowledgment should come on a regular basis.

A Mother is a gem in everyone’s life. She is the ultimate source of happiness for a child. Her contributions are certainly too great to imagine. Above all, her love is pure and innocent. To find a Mother who does not love is probably an impossible task.

The Incredible Importance of Mom

By Melanie Tannenbaum

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American

Imagine that you're an infant monkey, and you've just been thrown into a cage after several hours in isolation. You've been deprived of food, so you're starving. Facing you are two adult-looking (fake) monkeys, designed to look like each one could potentially be your mother. On the left is a "wire mother," equipped with a bottle and feeding tube so you can cling to her and fill your belly with milk. On the right is a "cloth mother," with no bottle, but with a fuzzy terrycloth exterior that will allow for hours of soft, warm snuggles.

You can only run to one of the monkeys. Which one will you choose?

Six or seven decades ago, many psychologists would have claimed that any affection that we experience towards our parental figures is a purely behaviorist response. After many instances of conditioning a sense of "positive affect" after receiving life-sustaining food from mothers, children associate that positive emotion with these caregivers, an association that serves as the sole explanation for why people "love" their mothers.

But that's not what Harry Harlow thought. Harlow, a psychologist working at the University of Wisconsin - Madison during the 1960s, believed that there was something more important underlying our affection for Mom and Dad than our primal need to eat and survive. He believed that there was an additional factor: Comfort.

What Harlow did to test this hypothesis was arguably ingenious, though inarguably cruel. 1 Harlow deprived monkeys of food, making them desperately hungry, and then stuck them into a cage where they had a choice of two "mother figures" to run towards. On the left was a wire mother - cold and uncomfortable, yet equipped with a bottle that would feed the baby with life-sustaining nutrients. On the right was a cloth mother - warm, soft, and comfortable, yet unable to provide the infant with any food. If the only reason why we "love" our mothers (and fathers) is based on a conditioned response to our need for food, then the infant monkeys should run to the wire mothers who can feed them every time.

Yet that's not what happened. Not even close.

Time after time, even when desperately hungry, the monkeys would run over to the wire mother just long enough to fill up on milk, and then dash to the cloth mother as quickly as possible to spend the next 17-18 hours snuggling into her warm, comforting body. The infants would sometimes come close to starvation before they would voluntarily leave their cloth mothers to refill their bellies.

The monkeys showed us that when push comes to shove, we don't love our mothers just because they feed us.

We love them because they cuddle us.

Harlow's thinking on this was largely motivated by one of the most important psychologists in our field's history: John Bowlby, who developed attachment theory in the 1950s based on his observations of young, orphaned boys. Bowlby determined that our attachment to parental figures (in particular, he argued, to mothers) plays a huge, critical role in our ability to learn, grow, and develop healthy adult relationships. Without a strong attachment, we are destined to be deeply disturbed. 2

Whereas Harlow took this research and used it to explore the hypothesis that we have a core motivation for love and affection, a student of Bowlby's named Mary Ainsworth decided to examine something else: What do the different types of mother-child relationships look like? How can we characterize them, and what types of parenting behaviors produce different kinds of children?

To do this, Ainsworth created a paradigm known as the Strange Situation Procedure . 3

The entire thing takes about 20 minutes, and follows a strict sequence of events:

The parent and the infant enter a laboratory playroom.

The parent and the infant are left alone. The infant is allowed to freely explore the room and all of the toys.

A stranger walks in and begins talking to the parent. The stranger then approaches the infant.

The parent leaves as inconspicuously as possible, leaving the stranger alone with the infant.

The infant is now separated from his/her parent. The stranger tries to interact with the infant.

The parent comes back into the room, greeting and comforting the infant.

The stranger leaves the room, leaving the parent alone with the infant.

The parent leaves the room again. The infant is left alone in the room (supervised through the mirror, of course).

The stranger re-enters and again tries to interact with the infant.

The parent re-enters, greets the infant, and tries to pick him/her up & provide comfort. The stranger leaves.

The experimenters, watching this whole sequence occur through a two-way mirror, are keeping track of the following four critical things:

How much does the infant explore the environment, doing things like playing with new toys or crawling around?

How does the infant respond when his/her parent leaves the room?

How does the infant behave when he/she is alone with the stranger?

How does the infant respond when his/her parent comes back into the room?

After watching dozens and dozens of these interactions, Ainsworth soon discovered that there are three main types of attachment styles: Secure , Avoidant , and Anxious . Infants can be separated into these categories based on how they act during the paradigm described above.

Secure Attachment : Securely attached infants are happy when Mom is around. They are happy to explore the playroom, using Mom as a "secure base" that they can turn to when they get scared or upset, but they don't feel the need to cling to her. When she leaves, they become incredibly distressed, often crying or refusing to leave the door in the hopes that she will come back. However, once Mom returns into the room, they are happy to be comforted by her, and are soon back to normal. Within a short period of time, they are happy to explore the playroom again, as if Mom never left.

Avoidant Attachment : Avoidantly attached infants are generally nonplussed or uninterested when Mom is around. They are happy to explore the playroom, but this is mostly because they have no real interest in interacting with Mom. When she leaves, they don't show obvious distress. When she returns, they don't seem particularly happy to see her. Overall, these infants seem largely avoidant or disconnected from their mothers.

Anxious Attachment : Although anxiously attached infants might seem fine in the playroom at first, once Mom leaves, they become incredibly distressed. However, unlike the securely attached infants, they do not return to normal once Mom returns to the room. Instead, they might seem deeply conflicted, alternating between seeming very angry at Mom for daring to leave or clinging to her and continuing to cry hysterically. They do not quickly return to normal and go back to exploring the playroom; they continue to cling to Mom or express anger about the fact that she abandoned them.

These attachment styles are presumed to arise from different "parenting" behaviors, mostly revolving around emotional availability and responsiveness .

Generally, parents will create secure attachment bonds with their children if they are responsive to their needs and emotionally available. This means that when the child wants attention, the parent will reliably provide that attention and care; however, when the child wants to be left alone, the parent will give them an appropriate amount of space to explore and be independent (in a safe way, of course).

Parents might create avoidant attachment bonds with children if they are consistently unavailable, rejecting, or distant. In this case, children learn that their parents are not going to be there for them, so they adopt a pattern of attachment that revolves around being independent to the point of never needing their parents.

Finally, parents might create anxious attachment bonds with children if they are inconsistently responsive. This means that whereas they might sometimes respond to children's needs, they might be unresponsive just as frequently. Someone who practices this parenting style can be thought of as practicing a fairly self-centered approach to parenting; attention is given when convenient for the parent, even if the child does not want to be held or played with, but not always given when the child wants (or needs) it. Of course, parents will not always be able to respond to their children's cries, needs, or wants. No parent is perfect! But these are patterns of behavior that emerge over a long period of time, in which a parent might be unresponsive as often as he/she is responsive, in a completely unpredictable way.

What else does a secure attachment look like? The three most important features of a secure attachment are that the infant will proximity seek (wanting to be close to the mother), use the mother as a safe haven (cling to her when upset or scared), and use her as a secure base (use the knowledge that she is there as a "safety net" to gain the necessary courage to explore the surrounding environment and try new, interesting things without being too scared).

What is truly fascinating is that these attachment patterns can end up influencing how we approach relationships for the rest of our lives! The general idea is that our relationships with our parents create "working models" (or mental representations) of what a relationship "should" look like. Our parents' levels of emotional responsiveness, availability, and dependability lead us to create mental models that form our concepts of what to expect in relationships throughout our lives. In the table below, you can see how people with each of the three attachment styles might approach adult relationships as they grow up, including romantic relationships, friendships, and more.

There are even questionnaires that you can take to assess your attachment style within romantic relationships, or your adult attachment to your parents, which asks questions about how much you feel you can depend on your father or whether or not you worry about being abandoned by your mother (I've included some great links to a wide range of these "attachment quizzes" at the bottom of this post). But the nuances of adult attachments are a story for another day...

For now, all we need to know is that our mothers (and fathers) are incredibly important. We need love -- in some ways, we crave it as much as (or even more than) we crave basic needs like food. The different ways in which our mothers might respond to our wants and needs shape how we interact with others, respond to strangers, and explore our environments, which ends up playing a big role in how we learn and grow throughout our entire lives. Even into adulthood, our attachments with parents continue to play a huge role, and the models they provide for us about how we should expect other people to respond to us within close relationships can shape what we look for in romantic partners, friends, and colleagues.

So Happy Mother's Day, Mom. Thank you for always being there with a snuggle, a kiss, and consistent emotional support. I've moved across the country two times to pursue my educational dreams, I've tried a huge number of things that I needed a very secure base to have the courage to try, and I've found an incredibly happy, healthy romantic relationship.

Because of social psychology, I know that I have you (and Dad! 4 ) to thank for all of that.

1. It should obviously go without saying that Harlow's experiments on infant rhesus macaques were incredibly unethical. He raised infant monkeys in isolation, leading to serious mental and emotional disturbances that plagued these poor monkeys for the remainder of their lives. I do not condone this behavior. While I remain glad that there is empirical evidence in support of our core need for love and comfort, and I think the evidence that Harlow established is important for our field and for our understanding of human nature, I am deeply saddened that these theories were developed in this way. Descriptions of Harlow's experiments on this site should never be taken as an endorsement for the inhumane treatment of animals.

2. I would like to make it very, incredibly, explicitly clear that this statement says NOTHING about any debate on working mothers, working fathers, etc. There are no differences in attachment quality when comparing children of working parents and children with a stay-at-home parent. Bowlby is speaking about children who were, largely, treated like the monkeys in Harlow's experiments. These were children who were extremely isolated, had no social contact for hours and hours on end, and had absolutely no parental figures present during their formative years. Research has shown that as long as the quality of an attachment is strong when the parent and child interact , it does not matter if that parent happens to be at work for most of the day. Please understand this.

3. All participating mothers provided consent in the original study for these videos to be shared and used for educational purposes in perpetuity.

4. Please don't worry; PsySociety loves fathers, too! Even though most early attachment research was conducted with mothers as the primary caregiver being observed, attachment relationships with fathers are absolutely crucial. Just wait a month or so; soon enough, it will be Dad's turn for a spin on the blog!

Heroes: What They Do & Why We Need Them

A commentary on today's heroes, why our mothers are our heroes.

Each year we celebrate Mother’s Day, and this reminds us of the results of a study we conducted recently that underscored the importance of family members as heroes. In the study, people of all ages and from all walks of life were asked to list their heroes. We were surprised, yet pleased, to see that family members were listed about a third of the time. Most importantly, one fourth of all people listed their mothers as their hero. Mothers were mentioned more than any other person, including fathers .

Many highly accomplished individuals are quick to attribute their success to their mothers. American presidents are especially likely to do so. Abraham Lincoln once noted that “all that I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.” George Washington also observed that “all I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.” Andrew Jackson claimed that “there never was a woman like my mother. She was as gentle as a dove and as brave as a lioness.”

Other celebrities also express their indebtedness to their mothers. Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong once said, “My mother gave me more than any teacher or father figure ever had.” With these words, Armstrong identified the precise reason why so many of us view our mothers as heroes. It’s all about the loving generosity of mothers. When the participants in our study were asked why their mothers were heroic, they generated three main reasons: generosity with time, money, and love.

But the most important quality that distinguishes mothers from other heroes, including fathers, is the free offering of love that mothers give us. Mothers were there for us when we needed emotional support. Mothers hugged us. They comforted us and let us sit on their laps. They kissed us on our cheeks before school and at bedtime at night.

Why are mothers viewed as so heroically loving? There are at least two reasons. First, research has shown that women tend to be more likely than men to possess communal traits such as lovingness, affection, warmth, and nurturance. These communal traits are highly valued in the context of raising children and are associated with morality and goodness. Second, it is well known that during childhood, mothers are our primary attachment figures. They are more likely than fathers to interact with, and bond with, infants. Our society is no doubt evolving toward fathers having more communal traits and showing more attachment behaviors, but mothers still hold the edge.

And so on this Mother’s Day, we’d like to acknowledge and thank Anna Jarvis and all the women who have given so much to us all. We wish everyone the happiest of Mother’s Days!

Essays About Your Mom: Top 5 Examples and 5 Prompts

Some of the most important memories in our lives involve our mothers. If you need to write essays about your mom, our guide will help.

A mother is a female parent of a child. Mothers nurture their children throughout childhood and, for many, throughout adulthood as well. The desire to support and protect our children is never ending for many mothers.

Motherhood, however, is not always a genetic role. Many people foster or adopt children or find themselves acting in a parental role for someone else’s children. What matters is the effort you put into a motherly role; for most, the instincts are all there.

It can safely be said that a mom is one of the most significant role models one can have in life and one whose influence continues to inspire. I once read a statement that said, ‘one day, you will realize your Mom is the best friend you will ever have.’ That is certainly true for me, and I hope for many of you.

If you are writing essays about your mom, our essay examples should prove inspiring.

“My mother believes in me, in everything I do, and is always positive about it. Every decision, task, and every level that I concur, my mom is always there, believing in me that I will succeed. Graduating 5th grade and moving up to 6th grade was a big step, just like graduating 8th grade and moving up to 9th grade was. But my mother believed that I would still do well in school and would enjoy it a lot.”

Mckenzie writes about his mother as his greatest influence and inspiration. He reflects on how his mom always makes sure he is well and how she loves the family unconditionally. He also describes her selflessness, as she volunteers for those in need and raises money for charity. Her mother’s love, selflessness, and encouragement inspire Mckenzie to try his best in everything he does, and he is genuinely grateful for her.

“All I can say is thank you for being an amazing mother and all I want for you is to keep doing what makes you happy and brightens your day. Keep creating and going to the beach just to look at the ocean. Keep running, even if it’s not in marathons and don’t forget how awesome of a mother you are. Keep collecting seashells and spreading your positive energy everywhere you go. I love you, Mom.”

Wolf’s essay is addressed to her own mother and is composed of different notes and letters. According to Wolf, her mother is hardworking, optimistic, and devoted, and she recalls several moments they shared. The moments she describes are heartfelt and profound experiences that many can relate to.

“To this day, she wakes up every morning, marches into our living room, and talks with cancer patients on the phone, lending them her empathy and expertise. It’s amazing, and I wanted her to know I saw all that. I wanted her to know I knew she’s always been a badass. I wanted her to know she’s an inspiration to me, a dynamic, courageous, capable, remarkable person I admire and study every day.”

Moore discusses his mother’s life beyond her role in his life. He briefly tells her life story, then writes about her work for a colon cancer foundation. She spends most of her time consoling and caring for cancer patients; only now is Moore able to appreciate what she is doing. He is in awe at all that his mom has been able to accomplish besides being a great mother to him.

“She utilizes her wisdom by teaching me the ways of life. She rejoices as I apply her teachings in my life and she understands me. The abundance of knowledge my mother has supplied me with continuously fills my life with rare and beautiful treasures.”

In her essay, Gonzales reflects on the spiritual lessons her mom has instilled in her. Her mother is a role model of a strong, Christian woman devoted to her family and God. She is always there for her daughter, giving her advice on how to handle difficult situations. Gonzales aspires to be just like her mother in everything she does, especially when raising her own children.

5. Your Mom Doesn’t Hate You, She’s Just Trying to Help You by Carly Newberg

“I’m not a parent (yet). However, I hope that when I am, I can take what I’ve learned from the obstacles I’ve faced with my mom, to keep the generational progress moving forward. After all, that is one of the beautiful gifts we’re given on Earth; To learn from the mistakes of our loved ones, map out our route accordingly, do our best to get where we are going, and accept the detours along the way knowing those after us will use them to love harder and live wiser.”

In this essay, Newberg discusses a phenomenon we are all too familiar with: mothers arguing with us. She explains that despite their seemingly curtailing actions, mothers always want what is best for us and are even struggling with whether their decisions are correct. Newberg suggests that we should be understanding of our mothers and use these experiences as lessons for how to parent in the future.

Essays About Your Mom: The best memory of your mom

For your essay, reflect on an experience with your mom that you treasure. Perhaps it is a birthday celebration, a trip out of town, or simply a conversation you had. Describe the events that transpired, how they made you feel, and why you treasure them as you do. Also, consider if your perception of this event has changed. Perhaps it has taught you more than you first thought.

One of a mother’s primary roles is to teach her children essential skills and lessons to prepare them for the future. Think about one or more things your mom taught you, whether life skills, values, or otherwise. You can be as general or in-depth as you want regarding what you’ve learned from your mom, but be sure to explain it adequately.

For an interesting essay topic, write about a quality of your mom’s that you seek to emulate- her patience, kindness, or fortitude. Discuss why you have chosen it, how it is essential to who your mom is, and how you hope to use it in the future.

Essays About Your Mom: Your mom as a role model

Mothers are role models to everyone, not only their kids but also to others they interact with daily. In your essay, you can reflect on a time your mom did something truly admirable that cemented her position as your role model. As with the other essays, describe the events, what you learned, and why you chose this. You may also comment on how it has shaped you as a prospective or active parent. Discuss any aspects of parenthood you would like to emulate and those you would not!

This essay topic may seem simple, but one can learn much about a person from a simple biography and reflection. Give readers a general idea of what your mom does, her role in your life, and how she has made you who you are today; paint a picture of this fantastic woman and why she is so important. You can include something about her background and note how it has influenced her, making her the mom she is. Also, you may consider whether any of her inherited traits have been passed to you.

Psychology behind why your mom may be the mother of all heroes

Each May, the United States celebrates Mother’s Day, and for good reason. According to surveys I’ve conducted , over 25% of Americans cite their mother as their number one hero. Fathers come in a distant second at 16%.

Moms are indeed the mother of all heroes.

More than 60 years ago, psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed his famous hierarchy of human needs , spanning the most basic biological needs to the pinnacle of realizing one’s full potential. Mothers are masters at helping their children meet this full range of human needs: from providing physical nourishment and safety, love and affection, all the way up to supporting emotional and spiritual growth.

Survey respondents report their mothers as heroic in helping them progress through the various stages of Maslow’s model – even if they don’t call it that. A good mother feeds you, protects you, loves you, helps you connect with others and encourages you to become your best self. She’s fulfilling what psychologists including me have identified as the four important functions of a hero : provide defense and protection; embody intelligence and wisdom ; model moral behavior; and promote enhancement and inspiration.

Here’s how moms do it.

1. Mothers defend and protect

Amazing stories abound of mothers doing whatever it takes to save their children, whether lifting astronomical weights or sacrificing their own lives. It is commonplace to see headlines about mothers saving and protecting their children in the most harrowing of circumstances.

The protection function of heroes is seen in the comments of survey respondents about why their mothers are their heroes. Typical responses include, “My mother protected me from neighborhood bullies” and “My mother kept me safe from predators.” In her review of the psychological mechanisms of motherhood, Rebecca M. Fischer, a student researcher here at the University of Richmond, found that mothers are “biologically driven to protect , care for and motivate their children to succeed.”

Other colleagues of mine at Richmond, neuroscientists Craig H. Kinsley and Kelly G. Lambert , have discovered that motherhood changes the brain in female rats, producing maternal behaviors directed toward protecting their young from danger. In human beings, too, women’s brains undergo significant remodeling that lasts more than two years after birth. These changes help women with the transition into motherhood and may include a readiness to protect and defend the baby.

Human infants are among the most vulnerable of all primates . No wonder our species evolved to have mothers who risk it all to protect us when we are so small and fragile.

2. Mothers provide intelligence and wisdom

Scientists are beginning to uncover evidence suggesting that intelligence is inherited more from mothers than from fathers.

Beyond this genetic inheritance, mothers tend to be committed to passing on wisdom to their children. My own mother taught me that the most important things in life are intangible and cannot be bought – love, integrity, character and honesty.

Many of Americans’ most cherished heroes credit their mothers for teaching them fundamental truths about life. George Washington apocryphally observed that “ all I am I owe to my mother . I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.” Famed musician Stevie Wonder has reportedly called his mother his “ greatest teacher .”

And mothers often impart intentional life lessons to their children. Former first lady Michelle Obama observed: “Life is practice and I tell my girls this every day . You are practicing who you are going to be. … Do you want to be dependable? Then you have to be dependable. If you want people to trust you then you have to be trustworthy.”

Legendary tales of heroism almost always include mentors who possess enduring wisdom and are willing to share it. Mothers serve as mentors to their sons and daughters when they need guidance while growing up.

3. Mothers are moral models

A good mother tries to provide an example of high standards of human conduct.

In his 2016 Presidential Proclamation of Mother’s Day , Barack Obama emphasized how mothers “shape America’s character.” He noted how many mothers “struggle to raise children while pursuing their careers or as single parents working to provide for their families” and how mothers lead “by powerful example and overcoming obstacles so their sons and daughters can reach their fullest potential.”

As children, many people watch their mothers’ selflessness and daily sacrifices, and learn that we’re all called to perform these acts of kindness for others. Heroes are beacons of hope who demonstrate how to behave virtuously. Sounds like a lot of moms.

4. Mothers enhance and inspire

The respondents to my colleagues’ and my hero surveys never fail to mention how their mothers made them better people . Typical responses include, “My mother inspired me to become my best self” and “My mother motivated me to develop my fullest potential.”

A good mother thinks the world of her children and wants what’s best for them. She encourages her kids to reach for the stars and maximize their fullest potential. As Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg has said, her mother “raised me and my sister to believe that we could do anything , and we believed her.”

My own research on heroism indicates that hero stories throughout the ages were designed to energize and motivate their audience to become better people – an important part of the job description for moms, too.

Despite any flaws, moms come out on top

Do women instantly become saints when they have a child? Of course not. Certainly there are plenty of mothers out there who don’t fit these somewhat idealized descriptions.

But of all the people to pick from as heroes – presidents, humanitarians, legends, coaches and family members – our survey respondents listed mothers as their number one hero . Mothers, we learned, meet people’s needs and mold them into their best selves more effectively than any other individual the respondents encountered.

Mother’s Day far exceeds Father’s Day in terms of greeting card sales and gift expenditures, and for good reason. Mothers come out on top in our poll of heroes because of the free offering of love that they provide. Good moms are there for you when you need emotional support. They hug you. They comfort you when you cry and let you sit on their laps. They kiss you on your cheeks before school and at bedtime at night.

Yes, social norms are changing and fathers are taking on the role of nurturers more than in previous generations. But the emerging psychological science of heroism helps explain why many people reserve a special place in their hearts for their heroic mothers.

An Ode to Those Who Mother Us

By Catherine Pearson Illustrations by Monica Garwood

When her children were toddlers, Sara Walcott lived far away from her parents. But a couple from her church helped fill the gap, watching the children so she could enjoy a few minutes of calm every week. “They became Sunday grandmas,” said Ms. Walcott, 53, who lives in Macon, Ga. After one “grandma” passed away, Ms. Walcott assumed a daughter’s role, checking on the surviving one daily. “This relationship,” she said, “has been a blessing to us all.”

Those who love and care for us are not always our parents. For Mother’s Day, The Times asked readers to tell us about the mother figures in their lives.

Ruth lied to my parents. When she interviewed for the job of taking care of my four older siblings and me, she said she had lots of experience caring for children. Truth was, she’d never held a baby before in her life. She let me stay up late on Sunday nights, curled up next to her in an overstuffed chair, watching our favorite television shows. She let me “drive” her old green Ford, holding me on her lap while I steered. She taught me to make Norwegian wreath cookies and Swedish meatballs from scratch. She taught me that nobody is perfect. I experienced unconditional love and so did she.

JUDITH SHAPIRO , 73, McLEAN, VA.

Mrs. Halbeck, my third- and fourth-grade teacher in Kansas City, Mo., in the 1960s, made no secret that she found me delightful, and her support and affection meant the world to me. I clung to her optimism and cheerful approval. To this day, more than a half-century later, I still have a postcard from New York that she sent every child in her third-grade class.

ZEVA OELBAUM , 69, MONTCLAIR, N.J.

I met Jacqueline during my junior year abroad in France. She needed an English tutor for her son, and I was happy to make some easy spending money. I was immediately enthralled by her characteristically French stubbornness and her uncharacteristic willingness to scoop me up as her “petite Américaine.” Jacqueline introduced me to kir royale, pâté on toast — bien grillé!— and the dazzling, twinkling magnificence of a Paris-by-night tour in her car. She was a bright star to all who knew her — brighter than all the lights in Paris combined. It’s now a little dimmer without her.

JESSICA CHAHINE , 47, SOUTH LYON, MICH.

My first year teaching, I was living in a new country and had been married less than a week. My mentor teacher Patty quickly became my confidante and my “mama.” Before the first day of school, I realized with growing dread that I had no idea what to do with my students. I tried to be cool and asked her if she had a minute. Patty smiled and said, “Pull up a chair, darlin’, this will take more than a minute!”

In the coming years, she taught me how to make pie crust, how to use binoculars and to wear a blazer for parent-teacher conferences. Patty drove for hours to cheer me on at marathons and triathlons, and folded me into her family completely. Recently, Patty and her husband have had some health challenges. I call most days, and have flown there four times in the last seven months. It’s my turn to support Patty.

KELLY SANDOVAL , 48, SQUAMISH, B.C., CANADA

I come from a multicultural background, but the Puerto Rican side of the family lived far away. Alina, my best friend’s mom when I was in the third grade, taught me so much about my culture. Going to the store was a lesson in salsa music, visiting a theme park was a vocabulary lesson (“Fallon, ven aqui!”), taking a shower was a lesson in how to care for my hair and holidays were a lesson in large family gatherings and delicious food. All of these little things added up to a more full picture of my culture. Without Alina, I wouldn’t know a part of myself.

FALLON ALVAREZ , 35, PORTLAND, ORE.

My mother died when I was 19, one month before I was supposed to study abroad in Cambridge, England. When I showed up, Linda, my host mother, picked me up from the bus stop and made me tea and crumpets. The first thing she told me was that I could cry whenever I needed to. A dam broke, and I just cried and cried. Even though I was only supposed to stay with Linda’s family for a couple of days, they picked me up every weekend from the university for the remainder of the semester. We’re still in touch 25 years later, and whenever I see Linda, she still treats me like her own daughter.

BELLA MUNTZ KIRCHNER , 44, AUSTIN, TEXAS

Tenzin became our nanny when I returned to work, five months after giving birth to my youngest daughter. She taught my baby to take a bottle and solved her dry scalp with coconut oil. She planned fun adventures for my toddler around the city. When I contracted the coxsackievirus from my toddler and my throat was raw with sores, she made me a beef broth from scratch with Tibetan dumplings and sent me to bed. She guided me through my early days of motherhood, understanding in a way I didn’t that new mothers need mothering as much as their babies do.

CHANTAL TORTOROLI ROBERTS , 41, LARCHMONT, N.Y.

Mom passed away when I was 5, and I was mothered by three unmarried aunts and two older cousins in an all-female household. It was a caring, nurturing but feisty upbringing that I got from this ragtag bunch of artsy idealists, who raised me to believe that I could be anything I wanted to be and do anything I set my mind to.

ANNETTE EUFEMIO , 55, MANILA, PHILIPPINES

An illustration of a person standing at a kitchen counter, stirring cookie dough. A child sits on a stool with a measuring cup and a dog is peeking over the countertop. Baking ingredients and a sheet of cookies are also on the counter.

My fifth-grade teacher, Miss Jordan, was a powerful example of what a Black woman could be. Miss Jordan believed that education did not just include reading, writing and arithmetic. She introduced us to culture. Somehow, she put together trips to Radio City Music Hall and other events at little or no cost to our families. When I became a high school teacher decades later, I often told my students about how impactful she had been on my life. Sadly, I never got to tell Miss Jordan any of this. When I was in sixth grade, she became gravely ill and died.

MARJORIE GEORGE , 60, BROOKLYN, N.Y.

Shortly after college, I moved to Japan to teach English. A co-worker named Yoshibe looked after me. I spoke no Japanese, and she spoke no English. But for three years, with humor and candor, Yoshibe-san managed to orient me to the routines and protocols of a Japanese office, and to life in a country entirely new to me. She had me over to eat yakisoba and grilled fish (my favorites) with her husband and young daughters. Early on, she pointed out that instead of the word for the stamp I used to sign my name (inkan), I had used the word for jock itch (inkin). We were both mortified! As I prepare for a trip to Japan, where I will have dinner with Yoshibe-san for the first time in almost 30 years, I’m not sure how to adequately thank my Japanese mom. But when I see her, I will sure try.

MARY HAYES , 56, INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

My mother died on my 16th birthday. She left me many “mothers.” Flossy, Frankye, Viola and Lois. Aunt Flossy was five years older than my mom and was her best friend. She had worked on her feet since she was 14, as a waitress and soda jerker, retiring at age 84. Mom and I lived with Frankye and her three children in Walla Walla, Wash., while my father was in the state penitentiary. Viola, who lived next door to us in Northern Idaho and belonged to a Swedish “homesteader” family, embraced me as if I were her own. Lois, who will be 95 soon, taught me that it was possible to enjoy a hamburger without ketchup. I lived with her family in Seattle for three summers. I am blessed to have had each teach me, love me and guide me.

DOUG MOURER , 74, MANSON, WASH.

I walked into the Alcoholics Anonymous room as a desperate and depleted 18-year-old alcoholic. Colleen, a 32-year-old mom of two, became my sponsor. She was the first woman to love me unconditionally. She encouraged me to dream, and helped me navigate college — from a G.E.D., to a bachelor’s to a master’s in education. She taught me about money and kept me from repeating generational poverty. I’m now a high school teacher, mother and mentor to other young women. My superpower is believing in teenagers, thanks to Colleen, who believed in me.

WENDY RICE , 55, BELLINGHAM, WASH.

Dr. Greenberg had high standards, and her history class was one of the best educational experiences of my life. She shared her love of Bach with me, and this sparked a deeper interest in classical music and the church. Dr. Greenberg passed away in 2023, and I am looking forward to honoring her friendship, terrific sense of humor, great intellect and her love of England by singing during a choir residency at Gloucester Cathedral this summer.

MANUEL FIGALLO , 54, ARLINGTON, VA.

My sister Rita was born six years before I was. If I had a nightmare and woke my mother up, she would tell me to climb into bed with Rita. I loved my mother, who was sweet but overwhelmed with raising four children while my dad worked long hours six days a week. Rita was always there, always loving. She introduced me to the library and cleaned me up when I was in second grade and had an upset stomach in the school bathroom. I was the maid of honor at her small wedding, and she was my matron of honor. Once, my fiancé and I were in a movie theater watching a comedy. After a few minutes, I leaned over to him and said, “My sister is here.” I could detect her laughter even in the crowded theater.

HARRIET LISS , 83, STAMFORD, CONN.

My mother was diagnosed with brain cancer when I was a senior in college. A small group of her friends circled around me. One started a travel fund so that I could visit with my mom on the weekends. Another donated money after college so that I could get grief counseling. Later, when I was in graduate school and working full-time, they organized a monthly breakfast with me. They never uttered a word about their own busy lives or families. They sat and listened, never intrusive, always supportive.

MARY EILEEN CONNERY McDONNELL , 52, GEORGETOWN, MASS.

When I was 13, my mother wrote to me at camp to say we had new “beatnik neighbors.” He was an interior designer, she a fashion photographer’s stylist. I thought they were incredibly chic and glamorous. I was a latchkey kid, so it was very easy to ring their bell after school. I babysat their gorgeous 2-year-old daughter. They took me antiquing. Wilma taught me how to cook, bake and sew while she played Ella Fitzgerald and Judy Garland records. Then my world collapsed. Wilma had a bout of cancer just before they moved in and suffered a recurrence about two years later. She died just short of her 32nd birthday. I have never gotten over that loss. But I carry her lessons, so she is alive in me.

MADLYN DICKENS , 78, THE BRONX, N.Y.

Her name was Mrs. Dunn — my best friend is her daughter — and she took me under her wing. She taught me that when you can’t get in through the front door, there is always a side door, or a window, to slip into the places you wanted to go. When I was flunking out of high school, she and my guidance counselor had me apply for art school. I got in. Hers was the sofa I landed on when things got messy. Hers was the supportive voice saying, “Oh, Gen!” when I made great strides. Before her Parkinson’s got bad, I was able to tell her, “Your thumbprints are all over every inch of my life and who I’ve become.”

GENEVIEVE GEER , 51, MARATHON, N.Y.

I started working at the grocery store in my college town when I was 18. During that year I also moved into my first apartment, away from the guidance of my mother. Grocery shopping by myself left me confused and overwhelmed. My co-worker, in her 60s, explained some easy meals I could make, placing cans of beans and bags of greens in my shopping cart. That act of kindness touched me. She showed up at my house with Cava and Spanish cheeses the week before I moved to Spain.

ANYA SANCHEZ , 20, BOULDER, COLO.

In the late 1980s, my parents returned to India from where we lived in Toronto. They needed me to get married — I was 21 — so I got to live with my “mami” (my mom’s brother’s wife). She gently cared for me, from the buffalo milk she boiled, cooled and put in a tall glass with chocolate and sugar to the letters she wrote in longhand to prospective suitors every Sunday, when the matrimonial section of The Times of India arrived. When I decided to take a stand and remain single, she cheered me on. And when, 10-plus years later, I met my husband-to-be, he went to Delhi to meet her and get her approval. It’s been eight years since cancer carried her body away, but her spirited reminder — “Be bold, Kitty” — still carries me through life.

KITTY CHACHRA , 58, WATERLOO, ONTARIO, CANADA

After three years of trying to get pregnant, I took a year off while we hosted a French exchange student. Little did my wife and I know then, Gabe would be our one and only “child.” I would often get mad at my messed-up biology. But knowing Gabe loves us as his “extra” moms fills me up.

Essay on Importance of Mother in Our Life (1000+ Words)

‘Maa’ or ‘Mom’ is a word that takes every child of the world first from his mouth after coming into this world. Father and mother in this world are those forms of God who see us with no selfishness, teach us, send to school, colleges and always pray to God that our children will not get any irritation and he gets every success in their life.

We cannot expect a life without a mother so we must know the importance of mother. If there were no mother, then we would not have existed in this world. “Maa” is the most natural word in the world, in this name Lord, himself dwells.

Mothers Love Toward

When the newborn arrives in this world, the most disgusting person is the mother of the newborn. She feels like she has got the world’s most prized thing.

Mother is prepared to manage anything for her children. This is not only happening in human beings but in every kind of creature as well. If the trouble is coming to the child, then the mother arrives ahead first.

Mom is most concerned about the future of her children, and anyone does not love more than her mother. Mother loves much more her child, but for knowing that the progeny is strolling on the incorrect route, then she calls him like a guru and interprets it to him, and if needed, then she also puts two hands on them.

There is no one in this world than the mother, and if the mother is not there, then this world is identical to the desert. Mothers should never get hurt.

This word “mother” is precious. Mother is not only the word but the basis of our living. It is tough to live without a mother’s accompaniment. In the morning until we do not hear the mother’s voice, it has not happened in the morning, or today is the Sunday.

This is thinking who is a more significant angle in-between the Mother and God, it falls into the big conscience. So, everyone needs to understand the importance of mother because no one can be as real as her.

Mothers Support For Her Family

Mother always supports together in our good and bad times. For the mother, their children are exact. More than others in her life, she always takes care of and loves us.

She gives us a priority in her life and supports hope in our bad times. The mother, who gets very happy while the child born. She co-operates us in every affair and tries to solve all our problems.

The relationship between mother and children is precious, that never lasts. No, any mother ever reduces her love and upbringing with her children.

“Maa” is the first word for all of us, which we remember in every sorrow and pain first. The name of God also forgets in the person’s pain but never forgets the name of the mother.

Mother is that part of our life without which it is tough to live life. The children’s love may be less for the mother, but the mother’s love never becomes less for her children. In the crisis, even the mother may sleep hungry at night, but she never let it sleeping hungry her children.

The mother remains like this. Mother loves many her children, even if she wore herself old clothes, but she buys new clothes for her children, sleeping in her wet place and let it facilitate sleeping her children in a comfortable place.

It is a matter of dignity to say about mother. They are a very fortunate whose mother is there. Mother always wants to be with her children when the child comes from school; the mother gives them food.

She asks him what happened in the school today and the food ate or not wholly in school. A mother can do anything for her children, like the Lamb (goat’s kid); She dares to fight with the lion and protect her child. This is a common story to understand the importance of a mother.

If the mother becomes angry with the child, then she cannot be patient for a few longs time without speaking with them. Mother keeps an uninterrupted fast for the happiness of her children and takes a full day fast without taking water. It does not know that God is a mother or God comes in the form of a mother in this world to protect us.

Mother’s Day Celebration

Mother’s Day is a day when every child celebrates it specifically for their mothers. It is celebrated annually as a significant event of the year on the second Sunday of May. Nowadays, schools celebrate Mother’s Day in the presence of their children.

Greeting cards, a vivid card, or other unique gifts are given to the mother by their children. On this day, family members go out to taste some delicious and enjoy more. Mothers give some gifts and much love and care to their children.

Their children especially invite mothers to the school where teachers, children, and mothers enjoy celebrating Mother’s Day. Mother and child do some activities to enjoy this day fully. Mothers prepare some special dishes such as macaroni, chow mien, dessert, biscuits, etc. for their children according to their interests.

Mothers also take part in other activities such as dance, singing, speech, etc. The children take part in poetry lessons, conversations, dance, singing, and essay writing, which are related to Mother’s Day. At the end of the festival, mothers serve specially prepared dishes for all students and teachers in the class. All people eat together and enjoy.

Role of Mother in Our Life

Mother’s role is always different in our lives and is priceless to other ones engaged in life. Of course, Mother’s entire day passes to rendezvous our needs. She does not want to return anything from her children. She loves them with an open heart.

Being a progeny, we furthermore love the mother and take care of her. As a dwelling God, in the life of every individual, the mother is the most distinct in the world, who takes all the sorrows of her children and devotes them love and protection.

The child is very proud of whose mother is there. Without a mother, this world looks like a rotten desert. I sometimes think that if you did not have me, then what would have happened to me in this fake world, who was to love me and ask me repeatedly to eat corn.

When someone beat me, then who was to fight with them and kept me in the embrace, caressing me… I love you so much, Maa.

Mother is the person who awakens for them in the bad days and diseases of their children overnight. It involves her in every happiness, and she understands all his/her likes and dislikes.

Maa habitually guides her children to proceed on the right path and motivates them to go on the right way in life. She is our first teacher who provides us with new lessons at every step of life and distinguishes us from the difference between right and wrong.

She always teaches and explains us discipline , behave well, and responsibility and role for the family, society, and country. I hope you like this essay on importance of mother in our life.

500 Words Essay on Importance of Mother in Our Life

The indispensable role of a mother.

Mothers are the pillars of our lives, the embodiment of unconditional love, care, and compassion. They shape our lives with their nurturing touch, instilling values, and fostering our growth, both physical and mental. The importance of a mother in our lives is immeasurable, and her influence extends beyond the boundaries of home and childhood.

From the moment of conception, a mother’s role begins. She carries her child within her, nurturing it with her own life. Post birth, she is the first teacher, the first friend, and the first guide. She feeds, bathes, and cares for the child, ensuring its physical well-being. But her role as a nurturer extends beyond the physical. She shapes the child’s emotional and moral compass, teaching empathy, compassion, and respect. She is the safe haven, the comfort zone where a child learns to express emotions freely.

Mothers as Teachers

Mothers play a crucial role in the cognitive development of a child. From the first words to the first steps, they are the primary educators. They teach us to navigate the world, instilling values and principles that shape our characters. They teach us the difference between right and wrong, and the importance of honesty, integrity, and hard work. They encourage curiosity and foster the spirit of exploration and learning.

Mothers as Role Models

Mothers are powerful role models. They exemplify strength, resilience, and selflessness. Through their actions, they demonstrate the values of kindness, perseverance, and dedication. They show us how to balance multiple roles and responsibilities, and how to handle adversity with grace. They inspire us to strive for excellence and to lead fulfilling lives.

Mothers as Supporters

A mother is a constant source of support and encouragement. She is the one who believes in our dreams, even when the world doubts us. She motivates us to pursue our passions and stands by us in times of failure and disappointment. Her faith in our abilities instills confidence, helping us overcome obstacles and reach our potential.

In essence, a mother is a multi-faceted gem, reflecting love, care, wisdom, and strength. Her role in our lives is profound and transformative. She shapes us into the individuals we become, influencing our thoughts, actions, and beliefs. She is the guiding light, illuminating our paths and leading us towards a brighter future. The importance of a mother in our lives cannot be overstated. To honor her is to acknowledge the love, sacrifice, and dedication that she embodies. It is to recognize her indomitable spirit and her invaluable contribution to our lives.

Essay on Mother provided by Vedantu

Mother is a very special and important person for every child. She is the most precious gift of God for anyone. A child can see the world only because of her. She is a friend, parent, guide, and teacher to her child. She takes care of the entire family and turns a house into a beautiful home. She brings up her children with the utmost care, compassion and love. She illuminates our homes with her presence and smile. The word Mother itself brings emotions to us and every child is very emotionally attached to their mothers.

For me, my mother is the symbol of love, honesty, truth and compassion in this world. My mother is an inspiration for me. She is an amazing woman. She is the woman I admire the most. I start my day with my mother’s smile. She is the first one to wake up every morning, every single day. She starts her day at five in the morning by taking our pet for a walk. She then wakes my brother and me and prepares us for school. She takes care of our lunch boxes with different menus every day. She drops us at the bus stop. Her waving hand assures us that she is always there for us no matter what. She helps us with our studies and assignments. My mother is the one to spend sleepless nights when we fall sick. She is always very concerned about our education, health, and happiness. She defines our character every moment. She also compromises her needs and ensures that our needs are taken care of first. She always guides us to do the right things in life and choose the right direction. She does everything possible to make us feel comfortable all the time. She is our best friend. We can share all our secrets with her and whenever we are in jeopardy, we know that our mother would give us some solution. Many times, she becomes a child herself and enjoys to the fullest with us like going out for movies, shopping and playing ludo, cards, etc.

My mother not only takes care of us but also takes care of our father and grandparents. She is the pillar of strength for our father. She is the one who creates strong bonds among all our relatives. She is always on her toes catering to all needs and requirements of my grandparents. She has never stepped back whenever our neighbours and friends approached her for help. She helps in volunteering for community work for the betterment of our society.

She takes care of every household chore without complaining even once. She runs a food business alongside. She has relentless stamina to manage both home and business. She has the immense emotional and physical strength to surmount everyday challenges and obstacles both in business and home. Sometimes I wonder how she manages everything at the same time. She is so good at multitasking and she does it flawlessly.

Her positive attitude and skills have broadened my strength to stay calm during challenging times. I aspire to be like her and inculcate all her qualities.

A mother is like Mother Nature who always gives unconditionally without any expectations in return. It is not easy to be a living inspiration for someone and to do so requires a life full of positivity, wisdom, conviction and enthusiasm. Mother is not simply a word; it is a whole universe in itself. She is indeed the most important person in everybody's life.

Mother - A Companion of Trouble

My Mother has been a persistent source of inspiration, staying with me through life's ups and downs. Whenever I was in difficulty or was reprimanded by my father, I ran to my mother since she was the only one who could save me. She was always there for me, whether it was a minor homework difficulty or a bigger problem. When I was scared of the dark, she would become my light, guiding me through it. She often spends sleepless nights caring for me when I'm unwell or having a rough day. She would also hold my head on her lap till I fell asleep if I couldn't sleep at night. Above all, even at the darkest of moments, she never leaves my side. My Mother is a teacher, a superhero, and my best friend all rolled into one. She is the foundation of my education and has assisted me in honing my talents and abilities.

Every mother is unique in the eyes of her children. She is an excellent teacher, a wonderful friend, and a strict parent. She also looks after the needs of the entire household. There is only one person who loves us more than our mother, and that is God. Not only for my mother but for every woman who dedicates her life to her family, deserves a standing ovation.

Mother and Mother Earth- Beyond Comparison

Mother is the one who provides warmth to her child. She bears everything for her child's sake. Her arms are the ones that cover and care for her. She is the one who gives rather than takes. Her self-sacrifice...incredible! It's incomprehensible. She is the most patient and prays the most for her child. She is the most honest and, above all, the most caring. In the same manner, Mother Earth is incomparable. She gave birth to living beings, providing food, shelter, and comfort for them to survive in her environment. The mother earth and our mothers are both the origins of all life on the planet. Human beings are created when their mothers give birth to them after conception. The same may be stated of the planet Earth; every living species was created as a result of the presence of this life-giving planet. Both, our mothers and the earth's mother are givers. Our mothers care for us while we are still reliant on them, and the mother earth, like our mothers, supplies nutrition to all living beings that rely on her.

When and Why was Mother's Day celebrated in India?

Every year on the second Sunday in May, Mother's Day is celebrated. Mother's Day is a holiday celebrated in many countries throughout the world to honour, respect, and love mothers. The day allows honouring mothers' accomplishments, maternal relationships, and the significance of mothers in our society. It's a day to recognise and appreciate our mothers' contributions to our lives. And the sacrifices they make to ensure the happiness of their family. Although different nations celebrate the event on different dates, the most popular months for commemoration are March or May. It is a day that reminds people of the value and relevance of mothers in their lives, and it is marked as a day to pay special attention to motherly figures all around the world.

Mother’s Day History

Julia Ward Howe was a well-known reformer and poet. She enlisted with the United States Clean Commission during the Civil War, assisting them in providing hygiene settings for hospitals and ensuring sanitary conditions throughout the care of sick and injured soldiers. Julia Ward Howe proposed a "Mother's Day for Peace" in 1870, which would be dedicated to the celebration of peace and the abolition of war. Howe believed that mothers should join to avert the horrors of war and the loss of life, as reflected in her 1870 "Mother's Day Proclamation," because mothers of mankind bear and feel the cost alone. Nothing new happened in this section until 1907 when it was taken over by Miss Anna M. Jarvis of Philadelphia.

Mother's Day was first observed in the United States in 1908 when a woman named Anna Jarvis wanted to mark Mother's Day as a recognised holiday to honour her mother, Ann Reese Jarvis, a peace campaigner who had died three years before. Anna had a monument for her mother built at West Virginia's St. Andrews Methodist Church, which is today known as the International Mother's Day Shrine. Anna Jarvis wanted to pay tribute to her mother because she thought that a mother is "the person who has done more for you than anybody else in the world."

Definition of a Good Mother

Defining a good mother in few words is never an easy task. However in a very simple words we can say that a good mother is the one for whom her child is her world. There are many qualities which I see in my mother which makes her the world’s best mother. She loves her child strongly and deeply without any condition. Apart from showering her love of motherhood she also takes care of her child with a great responsibility.

She is the statue of forgiveness and forgives each and every mistake of ours and also ensures that we realize our mistakes and understand our responsibility. A good mother does every effort to make her child one in a million and sacrifices every comfort of her life so that her child could lead a comfortable life. The selfless love a mother showers on her children is the most valuable thing in this whole world which could never be replaced by anything.

Qualities of a Mother

There are certain natural qualities which already get inherited into a woman on acquiring motherhood. But there are also few qualities which are required for becoming a good mother. The major qualities of a mother are as follows:

Responsible

Acquiring motherhood comes with great responsibility. The responsibility of taking care of child before and after birth is one of the most important qualities of a mother. She is the one who takes care of her child since birth and nurtures him to stand on his own feet.

Selfless Love

A mother will always shower her children with her love without anything in return. She always loves her children selflessly in spite of their mischiefs. Her love towards her children always remains the same irrespective of her child’s age.

A mother should always be supportive to their children. She should always stand strong besides her children in all of their ups and downs. She should be always there to support her children in their rightful decisions and interests.

This is the quality which every mother should inculcate on acquiring motherhood. Dealing with kids always requires a high amount of patience as they are still in a growing phase and are not matured enough to understand things at one go. Hence they need to be reminded again and again till they understand and become responsible.

The ability to understand another person’s feelings is called as empathy. A mother should be empathetic towards her child because unless you understand the feelings of your kid you will not be able to understand his/her issue.

Why Mother is Important in our Life?

The importance of mother could be easily understood from the fact that the first word uttered from the mouth of a child is ‘ma ma’. She is the source of life and the reason for our existence. She is the one who can happily sacrifice everything in her life just for the sake of her child’s happiness. Is the first teacher of a child who introduces him to the world and the first best friend with whom we can share all our secrets.

Mothers are the backbone of every family who binds the whole family and unites it into a single but powerful entity. They give us the confidence to face the world and motivate us to achieve success in our life. They are the only one who will never have any ill thoughts against their children and always pray and hope better for them. A good mother acts like a sculptor who moulds her children into beautiful sculptures which are highly appreciated and respected in the society.

My mother is the holy creation of god and a source of providing life to us. She is a sacred statue of selfless love, sacrifices, forgiveness and patience. She is the guiding soul who helps us to progress on the right path and achieve success in our life. Mother’s selfless love towards her children could never be replaced by anything in this world. We as her children should do our best to make her happy and comfortable all the time especially when she becomes old. It is our responsibility to bestow her with the same amount of love, care and understanding as she had showered on us when we were young.

Faith-Filled Encouragement for Moms of Tweens, Teens, and Young Adults

Why Moms are Important: This is the Huge Impact You Make

(Inside: Why moms are important and the importance of a mother in a family – it’s what every mom doesn’t just want to know but feel in her heart. Momma, no one can replace you – you are way more impactful and important than you could ever fully understand.)

Moms and dads, do you really understand the life-changing, extraordinary impact you make on this world through parenting?

Let me back up… Sometimes, when I hear people say, “a mom’s job is so important,” it feels like lip serviece. When I hear that phrase, I can think, “People are just saying that to moms because it’s what we all should think. But people don’t really value helping a kid with homework, driving them to practice, or making a ham sandwich. What society really values is doing more-more-and-even-more in careers, volunteer work, and everything else we juggle.”

S ometimes, the high emphasis on “doing more outside of motherhood” makes me wonder if everyday parenting actually makes a life-changing, extraordinary impact on this world. Does anyone else sink into the couch after a full day and wonder this too?

An unlikely place in scripture spoke strength into my heart about the power of being an “ordinary mom.” When reading the Bible, I usually skip the lists of people in the Old Testament because I prefer non-boring, but this time the unknown names captured my attention.

Why moms are important

Tucked around the stories of the BIG PLAYERS and their impressive journeys we love to repeat (Moses! Ruth! King David! Queen Esther! Noah!) are lists. Lists of names. Descendants. Aunts and uncles and cousins. Parents and sons and daughters. Families. Lineage. Heritage.

I stopped dead in my reading and pondered these people I usually ignore. Who were these people mentioned briefly only by name? What were their jobs? Or hobbies? How many hours did they spend washing clothes, cooking meals, or chasing little ones?

Take Moses – a man who found the courage to follow God, oppose a powerful leader, and walk a nation of slaves through a parted sea to freedom. Gargantuan stuff. But I wondered about his lineage.

How many people with a lifetime of ordinary played a part in Moses’ big story?

Did courage run in his family? We know his mom had the strength to put baby Moses in a basket and floated him down the Nile River to save his life. His sister followed the basket and when Moses was found and adopted by the Pharaoh’s daughter, boldly offered to find a nursemaid. (His own mom.) Did those stories build courage in Moses?

Were Moses’ mom and sister brave because of their lineage?

Did Moses have a great-great-grandma who prayed incessantly for a strong family? Was his great-grandpa a good man who worked hard, loved his family, and sheltered his home with stability? Was his grandma a kind, loving mother? Did her kids feel the strength to be bold because they always knew they could come home to her quiet force, encouragement, and comfort food?

Did a lineage of everyday strength and consistency lead to a mom bold enough to hide her son, a sister strong enough to speak up, and a man who freed a nation?

How do you really see the importance of moms?

Perhaps a secret to seeing God move is to look past the glory moments to the lineage of ordinary people. Generations passing down traits, learning from each other, transforming through the hard stuff, cultivating positive characteristics, and maintaining strong families. In this rhythm of genealogy, every day feels vital. And intentional. Like God placed each person in their line with great care. He wants certain qualities passed from one generation to the next.

The lists make me feel God’s words: “I am.” ( Exodus 3:14 )

I am the creator.

I am the orchestrator of life.

I am purposeful.

I am all-knowing.

I specifically placed you right here, right now with your unique characteristics, gifts, and talents. It was purposeful, so go.

Spread my love. Be my image bearer here on earth. Do ordinary well. Walk today knowing who you are and what you are called to do.

Be faithful in the little things, because…

…you never know what big things I might do in your life…

…or the daily impact I am making through you…

…on the people around you…

…and on the generations who will follow.

Because, I am here every day – moving and working in the incredibly significant ordinary.

Why Moms are Important Series

Do you really understand how important, how vital, how life-giving your role as a mom is?

Maybe you feel like you just poured the bowl of cereal this morning, but that’s not all you did. You nourished your kid. And through simple daily interactions, you teach responsibility, leadership, love, grace, faith, courage, and kindness. Your child will go out into life and share his or her gifts. Then pass everything you taught down to their kids. And next, their grandkids – your impact keeps rolling.

Why Mothers Matter: The Indispensable Role of Moms in Child Development

african american mom and baby using digital tablet 2022 12 16 08 10 43 utc(1)(1)

From the moment a child is born, their world revolves around their mother. She is their first teacher, their first friend, and their first love. The bond between a mother and her child is like nothing else in the world. It’s a relationship that shapes the course of a child’s life, impacting everything from their physical health to their emotional well-being, cognitive abilities, and social skills .

In this blog post, we’ll explore the indispensable role of mothers in child development — a topic that holds great importance not just for parents and families, but also for educators, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and society as a whole.

So, whether you’re a mother seeking validation for your tireless efforts, a father wanting to appreciate the mother of your children more, or simply someone interested in child psychology, this post is for you. Let’s delve into the world of mothers and their irreplaceable impact on child development.

In This Article

The Biological Role of Mothers

Emotional development, cognitive development, social development, the modern mother’s role, actionable tips for mothers.

The connection between a mother and her child begins long before the child is born. From the moment of conception, a unique biological bond is formed that lays the foundation for the child’s future health and development.

A. The Biological Connection

During pregnancy, a mother provides not just physical nourishment, but also a secure environment for the baby to grow. This biological connection extends beyond birth through breastfeeding, where mothers provide their infants with essential nutrients, antibodies, and hormones that contribute to healthy growth and immune system development.

B. Maternal Health and Child Development

The health of a mother can significantly impact the development of her child. For instance, maternal nutrition during pregnancy is crucial for the baby’s brain development and can influence cognitive abilities later in life. Similarly, a mother’s mental health , particularly stress levels and emotional state, can also affect the child’s development. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high-stress environments during pregnancy can potentially impact a child’s development, including their ability to manage stress in adulthood.

However, it’s important to note that while a mother’s health plays a significant role in a child’s development, it’s just one piece of a complex puzzle. Other factors such as genetics, environmental influences, and postnatal care also contribute to how a child develops. In the next sections, we’ll take a closer look at how mothers influence their children’s emotional, cognitive, and social development.

One of the most profound ways mothers influence their children is through emotional development. From the earliest stages of life, a child looks to their mother for comfort, guidance, and understanding. This relationship plays a significant role in shaping a child’s emotional growth.

A. The Role of Mothers in Emotional Development

Mothers are often the primary caregivers, providing the first model of emotional behavior for their children. Through their reactions, expressions, and interactions, mothers teach their children how to identify, understand, and manage their emotions. When a child experiences distress, a mother’s comforting presence can help them feel safe and understood, fostering their ability to regulate their own emotions over time.

Additionally, the quality of the mother-child relationship can impact a child’s future emotional health. A secure attachment with the mother has been linked to higher self-esteem, better relationship skills, and lower risk of anxiety and depression later in life.

B. Real-Life Examples

Consider a simple scenario where a toddler falls and scrapes their knee. A mother’s response to this situation – offering comfort, validating the child’s pain, and helping them calm down – teaches the child that it’s okay to express pain and seek comfort. Over time, these experiences accumulate, helping the child learn to navigate their emotions effectively.

In another example, consider a teenager facing peer pressure. If they have grown up with a mother who has consistently provided emotional support, they are more likely to possess the emotional resilience and self-confidence to withstand such pressures.

Cognitive development refers to the growth of a child’s ability to think, learn, reason, and problem-solve. Mothers play an essential role in nurturing these skills from a child’s earliest days.

Here are some studies that highlight the influence of mothers on cognitive development:

Mothers’ and fathers’ sensitivity and children’s cognitive development in low-income, rural families: This study examines the effects of maternal and paternal caregiving on children’s cognitive development. It suggests that the caregiving practices of mothers and fathers can have spillover effects on their children’s cognitive growth. Source
The effect of postpartum depression on child cognitive development and behavior: A review and critical analysis of the literature: This review suggests that postpartum depression (PPD) may impact a child’s cognitive development, reinforcing the importance of a mother’s mental health on her child’s development. Source
The cognitive development of 5-year-old children of postnatally depressed mothers: This research indicates that the mother-child relationship may modify any earlier effects on child cognitive development, highlighting the importance of maternal mental health and the quality of the mother-child relationship.

These studies collectively suggest that mothers play a significant role in their children’s cognitive development, emphasizing the importance of their mental health, caregiving practices, and the quality of their relationship with their children.

Social development is a crucial aspect of a child’s overall growth, encompassing their ability to interact, communicate, empathize, and form relationships with others. Mothers play a pivotal role in shaping these skills from the child’s infancy.

A. Mothers’ Influence on Social Skills and Behaviors

Mothers contribute significantly to their children’s social development in various ways. They are often the first ones to teach children about communication, both verbal and non-verbal. By responding to a baby’s coos and smiles, a mother encourages the child to express themselves and interact with the world around them.

As children grow older, mothers help them understand complex emotions, teaching them how to express these feelings appropriately. They also guide children in developing empathy by encouraging them to consider other people’s feelings.

Additionally, through their own behavior, mothers model essential social skills like sharing, cooperation, and respect. For example, when a mother shares a toy with a toddler and encourages the toddler to do the same with their peers, she is teaching the child about sharing and fairness.

B. Long-Term Impacts of a Mother’s Influence

The social skills that children learn from their mothers can have lasting impacts on their social development. Children who are taught empathy, kindness, and effective communication tend to have better relationships with their peers as they grow older.

Moreover, children who observe their mothers handling conflicts calmly and respectfully may learn to do the same in their interactions, contributing to healthier relationships in adulthood.

Here are some research studies that highlight the role of mothers in their children’s social development:

These studies collectively highlight the critical role mothers play in shaping their children’s social skills and behaviors.

The role of mothers has significantly evolved over time, influenced by societal changes, advancements in technology, shifts in family structures, and evolving views on parenting.

A. Evolution of the Mother’s Role

Historically, mothers were primarily responsible for nurturing and caring for their children. However, over time, this role has greatly expanded. Today’s mothers often juggle multiple roles – they are not only caregivers but also breadwinners, educators, coaches, and more.

With the rise of dual-income households, many mothers now balance work and family responsibilities. Additionally, the increasing recognition of early childhood education’s importance has led mothers to play a more active role in their children’s cognitive and academic development.

Furthermore, societal shifts towards gender equality have led to a redistribution of parenting responsibilities, with fathers becoming more involved in child-rearing. This has allowed mothers to pursue personal interests and careers, redefining motherhood beyond traditional caregiving roles.

B. Current Societal Expectations and Pressures

Despite these positive shifts, modern mothers face unique challenges and pressures. Society often expects mothers to excel in all their roles – to be perfect parents, successful professionals, and fulfill their personal aspirations, often without adequate support or resources.

Mothers may face societal judgment for their parenting choices, such as decisions about work, childcare, or discipline strategies. They are often expected to instinctively know how to care for their children and may face criticism if they seek help or advice.

Moreover, the constant exposure to idealized images of motherhood on social media can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy and pressure. Mothers may feel compelled to compare themselves to these unrealistic standards, leading to stress and guilt.

Here are several research studies that explore the evolution of a mother’s role over time:

Mothers of the new generation: This study explores how the role of mothers evolved in Germany during the early 20th century, including shifts towards advocating for mothers’ rights and changes in Western ideas of motherhood. Source
The long-term evolution of the family structure of teenage and older mothers: This study examines the changing roles and experiences of teenage and older mothers over time, suggesting shifts in societal norms and expectations. Source
How Moroccan mothers and fathers view child development and their role in their children’s education: This research provides insight into how mothers’ roles in their children’s education have evolved in Morocco, highlighting cultural shifts and changes in parental involvement. Source
Mothers’ involvement in caring for their premature infants: an historical overview: This study traces the evolution of mothers’ roles in caring for premature infants, from the development of the incubator to present times, emphasizing the growing recognition of mothers’ critical role in early mother-infant relationships. Source

These studies collectively highlight how the role of mothers has evolved over time, shaped by societal, cultural, and technological changes .

Navigating motherhood can be a challenging yet rewarding journey. Here are some practical tips to support your child’s development and manage the complexities of modern motherhood:

Practical Advice for Supporting Child Development

Create a Nurturing Environment : Provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your child. Encourage exploration, creativity, and learning through play.
Be Present and Engaged : Quality time is essential. Be present during interactions with your child, whether you’re playing, reading a book, or simply talking about their day.
Promote Open Communication : Foster an environment where your child feels comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions. This will enhance their emotional intelligence and strengthen your bond.
Encourage Independence : Allow your child to do tasks on their own, like dressing up or tidying their toys. This helps build their confidence and self-reliance.
Model Positive Behavior : Children learn by imitation, so model the behaviors and attitudes you want them to adopt, such as empathy, kindness, and patience.

Encouragement and Reassurance for Mothers

Embrace Your Unique Journey : There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to motherhood. Each family is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Trust your instincts and don’t be swayed by comparison.
Ask for Help When Needed : It’s okay to seek help. Whether it’s from your partner, family, friends, or professionals, don’t hesitate to ask for support when you need it.
Take Care of Yourself : Remember that self-care isn’t selfish. Taking time to rest and recharge can make you a better parent. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Celebrate Small Wins : Motherhood is filled with small but significant victories. Celebrate them. Every step your child takes towards growth is a testament to your hard work.
Be Kind to Yourself : You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough. Don’t beat yourself up over mistakes or imperfections. Motherhood is a learning process, and every day is a new opportunity to grow alongside your child.

Remember, while motherhood can be challenging, it’s also one of the most enriching experiences. You’re doing an amazing job, and you’re the perfect mother for your child.

Throughout this discussion, we’ve explored the multifaceted role of mothers in child development, underscoring their crucial influence on their children’s cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Mothers guide their children’s early learning experiences, shape their emotional understanding, and help them develop essential social skills and behaviors.

In the modern world, the role of mothers has evolved significantly, encompassing not just caregiving but also professional responsibilities, educational involvement, and personal pursuits. However, this expansion of roles comes with unique societal expectations and pressures that modern mothers must navigate.

Despite these challenges, there are practical strategies that mothers can employ to support their children’s development effectively. These include creating a nurturing environment, promoting open communication, encouraging independence, and modeling positive behaviors. It’s also essential for mothers to embrace their unique parenting journey, seek help when needed, prioritize self-care, and celebrate small victories.

Once you have mastered such elements of parenting, you might even like to earn a degree in child psychology to delve deeper into things like children’s mental and emotional development. But before you check out child psychology jobs , make sure it is the right path for you.

In closing, while the journey of motherhood may be filled with challenges and pressures, it’s important to remember the significant impact mothers have on their children’s development. Mothers play an irreplaceable role in shaping the next generation, and their efforts deserve recognition, support, and celebration. To all mothers out there, remember that you’re doing an incredible job, and every step you take contributes to your child’s journey towards becoming a well-rounded individual.

Top 10 reasons why moms are important, ... and of course there are more than 10..

Posted May 10, 2013 | Reviewed by Lybi Ma

Mother’s Day is a day you get to show your mom (or the mother of your children) how grateful you are that she is in your life. Don’t waste the opportunity.

If it weren’t for your mom, you wouldn’t be breathing right now. If nothing else, you should thank her for that.
Mothers are the emotional backbones of the family. They provide the holding place for everyone’s feelings and do their best to keep us from being hurt.
Who would kiss your boo-boos to make it all better if she weren’t around? Mothers have the magic touch (and kiss) to help us heal our wounds, physical and emotional.
Truly, our mothers worked hard and made sacrifices, so our lives would be better. There are not a lot of people willing to do that, so let her know you appreciate it.
Mothers are forgiving—so forgive her in return. Perhaps nothing will be as valuable a gift to both of you as forgiveness . Open your heart and drop your resentments. Now that’s love.
When you want to climb the tallest mountain, your mother will make your lunch for you. She is the one who will support your dreams when no one else will. She will also remind you to wear clean underwear.
Her boundaries made you a better person. You may not have liked some of her decisions, especially when you wanted to party with your friends, but she did keep you out of trouble. Look at some of your friends without a mom who has cared that much.
A mother’s ears and eyes hear and see everything. They also have a computer-like memory for all the good (and some of the bad) that came your way. It’s nice to have someone with whom you can reminisce about your whole life.
Mom taught you to be a functioning adult. That was her job, and without that, making it through the modern world would be very hard. Your mom may have forced you to do your homework, but now you see how important it was.
A mother’s smile, when it is directed toward you, makes your day a whole lot better. All she needs is to know that she has helped you to be and feel your best. Say thank you.

Make Mother’s Day special for her, and it will come back to you. There is something beyond words to express to the person who helped you to walk and talk, who gave you your first puppy, who helped you with school, and who gave you all the love she possibly could. Show her you care by acknowledging her value in your life. And if you don’t have your mom around, take someone who is like a mother to you out for brunch.

500 words essay on Mother's Day

Mother's Day is a special day celebrated all around the world to honour and appreciate mothers and mother figures. It's a day filled with love, gratitude, and recognition for the incredible role that mothers play in our lives.

Every second Sunday of May, we celebrate Mother's Day , a special occasion dedicated to honouring the remarkable women who fill our lives with love and care. It's a day when we pause to recognise the often-overlooked contributions of mothers and express our heartfelt gratitude for all they do.

The origins of Mother's Day date back to 1908 in the United States . After the passing of her own mother in 1905, a woman named Anna Jarvis was inspired to create a day dedicated to honouring the tireless efforts and sacrifices of mothers everywhere. In May 1908, she organised the first official Mother's Day celebration in Grafton, West Virginia, laying the foundation for what would become a beloved annual tradition.

Mother's Day has since become a cherished tradition, observed on different dates depending on the country. However, no matter when it's celebrated, the sentiment remains the same: to show our appreciation for the unconditional love and care that mothers provide.

Mothers are extraordinary individuals who devote themselves to their families. They are our first teachers, guiding us through life's ups and downs with patience and wisdom. From the moment we are born, mothers nurture us, protect us, and teach us valuable lessons about kindness, compassion, and resilience.

One of the most beautiful aspects of Mother's Day is the opportunity it provides to express our gratitude. Whether through heartfelt words, handmade cards, or thoughtful gifts, we take this day to show our mothers just how much they mean to us. It's a chance to say "thank you" for all the sacrifices they've made and all the love they've given.

Mother's Day is also a time for reflection, a moment to pause and appreciate the unique bond between a mother and her child. It's a bond forged through countless shared moments, laughter, tears, and triumphs. No matter where life takes us, our mothers remain a constant source of love and support, cheering us on every step of the way.

For some, Mother's Day may be a bittersweet occasion, especially for those who have lost their mothers or who are unable to be with them. However, it's also a time to honour their memory and celebrate the legacy of love they left behind. Their presence may no longer be physical, but their influence and guidance continue to shape our lives in profound ways.

Beyond biological mothers, Mother's Day also celebrates all mother figures, including grandmothers, aunts, sisters, and guardians who play maternal roles in our lives. These women may not have given birth to us, but they have nurtured us with the same love and care as any mother would.

In addition to honouring individual mothers, Mother's Day is an opportunity to recognise the collective strength and resilience of mothers everywhere. Mothers are the backbone of families and communities, often juggling multiple roles and responsibilities with grace and determination. Their unwavering love and dedication enrich the lives of those around them, leaving an indelible mark on society as a whole.

As we celebrate Mother's Day, let us not forget to show our appreciation not just today, but every day. Let us cherish and honour the incredible women who have shaped us into the people we are today. And let us strive to emulate their love, compassion, and strength in everything we do.

Why mother language-based education is essential

Every year on 21 February, the world celebrates International Mother Language Day , which was established at the initiative of Bangladesh by UNESCO’s General Conference in 1999. The Day is an essential platform to promote the importance of cultural and linguistic diversity, and multilingualism for peaceful and sustainable societies.

UNESCO has been leading the way and advocating for multilingual education based on the mother tongue from the earliest years of schooling. Research shows that education in the mother tongue is a key factor for inclusion and quality learning, and it also improves learning outcomes and academic performance. This is crucial, especially in primary school to avoid knowledge gaps and increase the speed of learning and comprehension. And most importantly, multilingual education based on the mother tongue empowers all learners to fully take part in society. It fosters mutual understanding and respect for one another and helps preserve the wealth of cultural and traditional heritage that is embedded in every language around the world.

However, there is still a long way to go before guaranteeing all learners their right to education in their mother language. In most countries, the majority of students are taught in a language other than their mother tongue, which compromises their ability to learn effectively. It is estimated that 40 % of the world’s population does not have access to an education in a language they speak or understand. There are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world today. But linguistic diversity is increasingly threatened as more and more languages disappear at an alarming rate. And when a language disappears, it takes with it an entire cultural and intellectual heritage.

Globally, progress is being made in multilingual education based on mother tongue with growing understanding of its importance, particularly in early schooling, and more commitment to its development in public life.

Through its normative frameworks for language policy and education, UNESCO shares good practices in bilingual and multilingual education and mother tongue instruction. It works with Member States to integrate multilingual education into curriculums and education systems. Recent successful initiatives to promote mother language-based education have taken place in Djibouti, Gabon, Guinea, Haiti and Kenya.

The findings from UNESCO’s new report From rights to country level action shows national efforts made by different countries to foster cultural and linguistic diversity.

In addition, UNESCO recently unveiled the World Atlas of Languages , an unprecedented initiative to preserve, revitalize and promote global linguistic diversity and multilingualism.

Impact of COVID-19 on mother language education

School closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and deepened pre-existing education inequalities around the world. The closures ranged from a global average of 20 weeks to above 70 in some cases, more than a full school year. As always, it has impacted vulnerable and marginalized learners the hardest, which includes indigenous and speakers of languages from minority groups. According to UN estimates, nearly 500 million students from pre-primary to upper-secondary school were unable to access any remote learning opportunities during the lockdowns.

In many countries, distance teaching and learning tools, programmes and content were not always able to reflect linguistic diversity: They were largely provided in dominant national or international languages. When remote learning content is not available in students’ mother tongue, it increases the risk of learning loss, dropouts and exclusion. Many learners lacked the necessary equipment, internet access, accessible materials, content relevant to contexts and needs, and human support that would have allowed them to follow distance learning. Many teachers also didn’t have the skills and readiness for using distance teaching. They also struggled with digital tools in languages that they didn’t always master.

The massive digital divide shows how connectivity has become a key factor to guarantee the right to education. The lack of access to digital learning content is deepening inequalities, marginalization and exclusion. Another element that exacerbates the digital divide is the fact that many languages are not present on the Internet: There is a major linguistic divide in cyberspace today. The inclusion of languages in the digital world and the creation of inclusive learning content is vital. Remote learning based on the mother tongue should be incorporated into education systems in order for all learners, especially those from linguistic minorities, to access education during school closures and beyond.

This year’s International Mother Language Day theme, “ Using technology for multilingual learning ,” is an opportunity to take stock of the experience of the past two years, to move forward differently and better.

7 Mother’s Day Traditions Around the World

By: Cate Lineberry

Published: May 6, 2024

Millions of American families honor their mothers every year with cards, flowers, special meals and other gifts on the second Sunday in May thanks to the work of Anna Jarvis, the founder of this country’s Mother’s Day . A single woman without children, Jarvis relentlessly lobbied for the holiday in honor of her own mother’s death, which took place on the second Sunday of May 1905. By 1914, the celebration had become so popular that it was declared a national holiday (Jarvis later regretted lobbying for the official holiday after it became commercialized .)

Today almost every country in the world observes a version of Mother’s Day to thank mothers for the critical role they play in the family.

“Despite the many cultural differences that exist and differing expectations of motherhood throughout history and the world, one thing remains constant: a recognition that mothers have a uniquely important, valuable role in helping children to thrive,” says Christine Gross-Loh, author of Parenting Without Borders: Surprising Lessons Parents Around the World Can Teach Us.

While many countries celebrate on the same day as the United States and with similar traditions, others observe different dates and follow their own unique customs. Here’s a look at how seven other countries celebrate Mother’s Day around the world.

1. United Kingdom

Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom takes place on the fourth Sunday of Lent, a date that varies each year. The celebration originated in the Middle Ages as a religious holiday known as Mothering Sunday , when people in domestic service were allowed to return to their home, or mother, church and often visited family.

Influenced by the modern American celebration, Mothering Sunday became largely secular by the 1950s, though it retained the traditional date in Lent. Today the holiday is known in the United Kingdom both as Mother’s Day and Mothering Sunday and is celebrated much as it is in the United States. One traditional Mothering Sunday food is the Simnel cake , a light fruitcake made with marzipan, which is also popular at Easter.

Mexico has celebrated Mother’s Day since 1922 , when it was established as part of an effort to promote motherhood as the roles of women expanded outside the home. Rafael Alducin, founder of the Mexico City newspaper El Excelsior , organized the first celebration on May 10, 1922 .

Today, in addition to giving mothers flowers, cards, and other gifts, families enjoy traditional Mexican foods and music. The celebration also frequently includes serenading mothers in the morning, some families even hire mariachis to accompany them, and continues with special masses and school performances.

Mother’s Day in Japan was originally held on March 6, 1931 , to celebrate the birthday of Empress Kojun, the mother of Emperor Emeritus Akihito, but it was banned as a Western influence during World War II . In 1949, Japan began celebrating Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May. Today it is marked by families giving their mothers gifts, cards, and flowers, usually red carnations, which symbolize a mother’s love and sacrifices, and enjoying traditional Japanese egg dishes.

4. Ethiopia

Mother’s Day in Ethiopia takes place during Antrosht , a three-day celebration held whenever the rainy season ends, sometime between October and November. Families come together with traditional singing, dancing, and a feast that includes a hash made by the mother. The ingredients for the hash are brought by the children with boys bringing lamb or bull meat and the girls bringing vegetables, spices, and dairy.

While Peru marks Mother’s Day on the same date as the United States and with many of the same customs, including giving flowers and sharing meals, many Peruvians also honor their deceased female relatives . They gather at their graves to celebrate them, often bringing flowers and sharing food and drinks. The tradition is so popular that vendors sell flowers, balloons, and signs outside the cemeteries.

6. Thailand

When Thailand first celebrated Mother’s Day in 1950, it took place on April 15, close to Songkran , the Thai new year, but it was moved to August 12 in 1976 to honor the birthday of Queen Sirikit , who is considered the mother of the nation. Children give their mothers garlands of jasmine, which symbolizes purity and love, while families often give alms to Buddhist monks and make charitable donations. Schools host performances for mothers, while candle-lighting ceremonies, parades, and fireworks honor the Queen.

The French honor their mothers nationally on the last Sunday in May, unless it falls on the same day as the Christian holiday of Pentecost, in which case it moves to the first Sunday in June. Although the day originated as a way to honor mothers of large families and has been celebrated nationally since the 1920s, it was not until 1950 that the government gave it a fixed date . Like many other countries, French families give mothers gifts, cards, and flowers, though in France, Lily of the Valley is preferred. Special meals are followed by children reciting poems and giving cakes shaped like floral bouquets or hearts.

Don't thank your mom only on Mother's Day. Instead, appreciate what she does all year.

Do something for your mom that goes beyond mother's day. appreciate what she does, all the time..

Even though Mother's Day is a fabricated Hallmark holiday, it can trigger many emotions because it emphasizes moms, an integral fabric of the nuclear family unit.

In 2013, I wrote a scathing column for The Atlantic about how Mother's Day was stupid because the inventor of the holiday herself ultimately wanted to disown it and because it sets such high expectations for men, children and others to celebrate.

Some of that holds true, but now that I've been parenting for another 11 years – and still have many more to go – I've come to a better understanding of why the holiday has always gotten under my skin.

About a third of moms say being a mom is the most important part of who she is. It's full of joy and happy moments, but it's a lot of work. It's often more work than she and anyone else in her life realizes. Most moms just want the children and the adults in their lives to see this and appreciate it. Let me tell you why.

The early years are harder − and better − than most moms expect

For many women, becoming a mom is a dream, even a goal. Before they become a mom, they think about their children, how they will raise them and what kind of woman they will be to these little people.

The infant and toddler years are often harder than many women expect, even if they're also full of joy. I've joked that when I had four children under 6 years old, I went about a decade without sleeping – and now my teenagers keep me up late talking! (It's a good problem to have.)

Parents and social media: Parents need help regulating their children's social media. A government ban would help.

For any woman looking forward to being a mom, as I was, this dichotomy of exhaustion and joy, physical demands and nurturing one's own babies is startling at first and hard to embrace.

Most people, even fathers − although admittedly, this is a broad generalization − do not understand the toll that sleep deprivation has on moms, let alone appreciate it. Or acknowledge it. Frankly, it's expected. Someone has to get up in the middle of the night with the baby, right? Often, it's moms.

The middle years are full of tons of invisible labor

As children age, from about 4 to 12, they become a bit easier. This magical season is full of make-believe, fun, play and joy. They still think you are everything. They seem so pure.

But there's a mountain of invisible labor involved. Sure, kids sleep through the night now, but endless choices present themselves.

What about school? Private, public, or homeschool? Sports? Music? Other activities? Who will register them, pay fees, take them and ensure the child practices? This is on top of doctor and dentist visits, clothing and shoes needed, haircuts, dates with friends, free play outside, hydration, spiritual formation and quality time with loved ones.

These are the formative years, and moms know it. Sometimes, only moms know this. Dads or other loved ones see their kid's development or activities and often don't make the connection that the child is in practice, for example, because mom made sure to get him there.

This is especially true as more moms have entered the workforce, whether because they want to or because circumstances demand it.

The Met Gala is a joke: Yes, Zendaya looked stunning. But Met Gala was a tone-deaf charade of excess and hypocrisy.

About 56% of moms work, and almost half of women surveyed in a 2022 Pew Research Center poll said parenting was tiring most of the time. More than a third said parenting was stressful most of the time. Dads reported being significantly less tired and stressed.

Almost 80% of moms say they do more to manage their child's schedule, compared with 54% of dads.

Mostly, moms want to be appreciated for what they do

The mental load of parenting that moms tend to carry doesn't lighten as the kids enter the teen years, even though moms might think so. The physicality of raising children lessens − everyone is sleeping through the night! − but it shifts to emotional labor that can take parents off guard. I always looked forward to my kids' teen years because I know my strengths as a parent are in deep conversations and challenging ideas, but the weight of these years and their near independence is heavier than I thought.

This can be an unforeseen challenge for moms who still working to juggle the invisible labor and mental load of the adolescent years.

Teens present an entirely different set of challenges and joy. They're sarcastic and insecure, but they still love to laugh and hug. They don't want you, but they need you. They're kids in big bodies, and something about this is endearing, exciting and terrifying. They can now also have wonderfully complex, exciting, interesting conversations about real life. Their choices have real-world consequences, some of them huge.

This can be uncomfortable yet rewarding. The goal was to raise independent, kind, wise young adults, wasn't it?

Especially in this stage, even as the teen morphs into a quasi-adult, mom still facilitates homework, sports and music practices. Now, she's also handling college applications, driver's training and licenses, car purchasing, broken hearts and flaring tempers. She's more of an Uber, therapist and chef some days than the mom who once pushed her kids on the swings for hours, but it's still what she loves and with the people she loves most. (Dads do a lot of this too! But this column is about moms.)

Teens especially have difficulty seeing how much mom does because it is so expected, and she's been so consistent. What would change now?

The days are full of mundane faithfulness, tasks like making dinner and making sure they brush their teeth to gargantuan things like discussing God, college and your kid's broken hearts. From changing a diaper or cleaning up vomit to giving them a phone and watching them pull out of the driveway for the first time, only a mother knows the unseen, literally invisible, things she has done to love this child, to ensure her baby grows up to be happy, healthy and successful.

This is why, while many moms want a day at the spa, a nice brunch or some gorgeous flowers, one day a year of appreciation doesn't seem to scratch the surface. It's not that moms are greedy or have a victim mentality. They just know what has gone into raising their babies.

She remembers the sleepless nights, the late trips to the store, the early practices, and the middle-of-the-night illnesses. When her child needs her, she's there. In fact, she's there well before her children know what they need.

She loves doing this and being a mom. But she wants to be seen, heard and appreciated more than one day a year.
