WhatKidsReallyNeedfromMom?

“Whatdogirlsdowhohaven’tanymothertohelpthemthroughtheirtroubles?

”askedJoMarch,heroineofLittleWomen.

Inthosedays,Momwastheparentexpectedtoprovidetheencouragementchildrenneedwhilegrowingup.Today,childrenmayturntotheirfathersforsomeconcerns.ButMomandDadaresimplynotthesame,andinmostfamilies,it’sstillMomwhodoesmostofthe“helpingthrough”.

Manywomenbecomeoverwhelmed.“AllIreadis,‘Childrenneedthisandchildrenneedthat,’”onemothertoldme．“ItmakesmethinkIcanneverdoenough.SometimesIfeelallsqueezedout,likeadishrag（洗碟布）.YetIwanttodoeverythingformychildren.”

Allneedsarenot,however,equal.Momsmustthinkaboutwhat’strulyimportant.Inmycareer,I’vetalkedwithhundredsofmothersandthousandsofchildren,andI’vereviewedtonsofresearchonchildrearing.HereI’vefoundwhatchildrenneedmostfromtheirbusymoms:

1.Traintheirhearts.Momsneedtodemonstratethattreatingpeoplewell—withkindnessandcourtesy—isjustasimportantassucceedinginschoolandsports.
