A good mother is someone who does not say I love you but shows care and concern to her kids. She is strict and stern but kind to her kids. She doesn't buy her kids expensive toys but she makes sure that her kids are happy and doing fine with their studies. She makes her children laugh even if she is busy working. And the best of all, a good mother is understanding and considerate of her kids' needs.

A good mother is a mother who loves her children, no matter what they do, and love is the most important gift that can be given to children. Hugs and kisses are mandatory. Embrace them no matter how "old" they might think. Everyone needs a hug to survive.
Treat your child with dignity, respect and love and they will treat you the same!

I have to agree with you. I'm a mother with three children. My first two children both have autism. There isn't a day that I don't give my children hugs and tell them I love them.
Its important to let any child know they are loved, and as you said no matter of who they are or what they do.

I think being a good mother is just being there for your child, not just during the good times, but standding by there side through the bad and the ugly. Being there to take care of them when they are sick or hurt, and always making them feel loved, and cared about, and making sure they know no matter what happens that they will always have a home. ALso that they always have everything they NEED, no matter what needs to be sacraficed, and make sure they know the value of oney, and that although it is important, it is not the most important thing in life, and if you work hard for your money, you will feel that you have sccomplished something at the end of the day. I believe a good mother enstills good values and morals in their kids. Dont steal, lie, cheat. Don't hurt other peole intentionally, and that no matter what you always have the choice of making the right choice in life, and that you are in control of your own life. Teach them to surround themselves with people who will have a positive impact on them, and not try to bring them down, use them, or steer them in the wrong direction.

A good mom can also buy expensive gift for his/her kid to make them somehow enjoy expensive toy for sometime. A good mom take care of her kids morally, emotionally, spiritually and financially. A good mom guide her kids to become a good person and sit beside her/him in time they've been needed and see them to ensure they are safe.

A good mother is someone that loves their children and shows it in every way that is possible. She will sacrifice for herself in order to better provide for her children. A good mother is one that can be both a friend and a disciplinarian to her child. She is someone that the child will never hesitate to share everything in their lives with. A good mother is a mother that never ever puts her own needs in front of the needs of her children.
