"I should sell my tongue and buy a thousand ears when that one steps near and begins to speak."
- Rumi
In addition to one's birth mother, many individuals provide mothering influences over a lifetime. Consider those who have provided nurture, discipline, and affection. Write about how they affected aspects of your development.
Write three examples of "words of wisdom" that created a foundation for your value system.
Delve into three admonishments that made you reconsider your future actions.
Examine three nurturing experiences.
Return to memories and weave them into what you offer in your mothering abilities. How have you translated and transferred the skills you gained from your influences?
