It is impossible to overestimate the value of mothers to children, family, community and society.

    The Importance of Mothers

    The Importance of Mothers

    No language can express the power and beauty and heroism and majesty of a mother’s love.

    Edwin Chapin

    It is impossible to overestimate the value of mothers to children, family, community and society. A mother’s impact is as profound as it is transcendent for those blessed enough to have such a parent in their life. Recognizing that words may fail us in fully capturing the importance of mothers, let’s, nevertheless, try.

    Why Mothers Matter

    • A mother’s unconditional love is the foundation upon which children are able to proceed confidently into life and manage themselves through the sadness, failure, disappointment and hurt they will inevitably experience.
    • Children who receive a mother’s love early in childhood are more likely to develop a larger hippocampus (the learning, memory and stress response center of the brain), as well as become more empathetic adults.
    • Mothers are a child’s first teacher, from counting numbers and reading to learning how to navigate the complexities of social interactions, friendships and sharing.
    • Mothers make numerous and incalculable sacrifices to protect their children and foster their success.
    • A mother is the first and most enduring listener in a child’s life, always taking seriously his or her fears and hopes, and patiently answering endless questions about life.
    • When a child feels abandoned by the world, a mother is always there.
    • A mother takes care of the home like no one else.
    • A mother supports and encourages a child’s wildest ambitions, helping that child reach its fullest potential.
    • Mothers organize and take action to improve schools and support children’s activities. They are the backbone of community groups that enhance community living and the lives of its members.
    • Mothers are role models who offer lessons that last a lifetime on the values of kindness, hard work, commitment and love.

    Edwin Chapin was right—language is inadequate to the task of expressing the power and beauty of a mother’s love. However, when a child expresses heartfelt words of gratitude and admiration to his or her mother, they can take on a force equally and indescribably powerful. Let’s recognize the hardworking, selfless mothers this Mother’s Day with more than a plant, but rather the appreciation of the vital role they masterfully play in life.
