Mothering

Mothering refers to the process of nurturing, caring for, and supporting a child’s development, emotional well-being, and safety. It encompasses a range of behaviors such as providing physical care (feeding, cleaning), emotional support, guidance, and fostering a sense of security and love. Mothering can be biological, adoptive, or foster-based and involves responding to a child's needs in a consistent and compassionate manner. It plays a crucial role in shaping a child's social, emotional, and cognitive growth, influencing their overall health and future relationships.
