There is a common belief that the challenges faced by mothers are similar across different social classes, races, and ages.
This idea resonates with the saying, “a mother just changes her address”...
However, these similarities do not imply that every mother experiences the same situations. Rather, it highlights the universal pain, emotions, and experiences that are shared amongst them.
Each person's journey is unique, but one thread binds them: the desire to succeed in parenting.
Through various difficulties and differences, parents strive to improve, acknowledging both their mistakes and their growth.
Raising a child is the greatest mission in life and requires both knowledge and intuition.
Experience + knowledge + dialogue with others = this combination helps determine one’s individual parenting path.
