II. Discuss how children’s relationship with their mother can influence their emotions and memories.
View Answer
How to answer:
Explain that the mother is the child’s first bond, so her love shapes the child’s warmest feelings and memories.
Sample answer:
A mother is usually the first person a child loves and trusts. Her care, songs and touch make the child feel safe and happy. Because of this, many of our strongest and warmest memories are linked to our mother, and they shape how we feel love and comfort even when we grow up.
