[quote=Anonymous]I have a great relationship with my mum and pretty much always have. I'm a young mother now and have asked her about how she views motherhood and how the relationships with your children evolve. She describes it as such: As a mother you go from Coach to Personal Trainer to Cheerleader. When your kids area very young they need you for everything - you direct what is happening and are a critical part of their life in every way. As they get older you shift more to just helping them work through things that they request/accept your input on. And eventually your job is just to cheer them on no matter what and that's about it. Most importantly- you are never [i]truly [/i]on the field with them during "games." Even as a "Coach" to a 4 year old in preschool, you don't control what happens to them 100% of the time. You just help them through it and teach them over time how to Navigate the fields of life. [/quote]
