We explore the meaningful distinction between being a "mother" who provides basic necessities and being a "mom" who sacrifices, teaches, and prepares children for long-term success in life.
• A mother provides basic necessities like food, shelter, and clothing
• A mom goes beyond basics by teaching life skills and preparing children for independence
• Protecting children from adult situations while still teaching responsibility
• Teaching household skills like laundry and cleaning from ages 8-10
• The power of telling your child "I'm proud of you" regularly
• Teaching children financial literacy and money management
• Being proactive about your child's education and homework completion
• Finding balance between authority and open communication
