“The Hand that Rocks the Cradle Rules the World.”
What a man becomes in future depends upon his childhood, which is of two kinds, one which is received in a school and in company of friends, and he other which he receives at home. At home the greatest influence on the child is exercised by the mother. The mother’s influence on the child beings before any other influence because it begins when the child is still an infant sucking at the mother’s breast.
A mother, thus exercises great influence on her child. A child when comes to school he is there with teachers for 4-5 hours, rest of the time he has to pass with mother and other family members, besides at school the attention of a teacher is divided among number of children in the class, whereas this is not the case at home. And at home who could do it better than mother. Mother with her infinite love and sympathy, her understanding and her intuition is the best teacher for a child. She can understand her child better than anyone else and, therefore can put the most beneficial influence.
The mother has, thus, a great task to perform. She has to build up the character of the child. It is, therefore, necessary that she must be trained for her role. An educated, well-read and above all cultured mother will be able to help her children, better than an ignorant and uncultured mother. A mother has the whole future of her child in her hands, just like clay in the hands of a potter. She must be a skillful potter to mold a good pot out of raw clay. Most great men heave observed that whatever they have been able to achieve was due to the humble training received at the feet of their mothers. It is indeed true to say: “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle Rules the World.”

Thank you Anah for your such a comprehensive comment.
Mothers have great role in society and education is necessary for them, it is better for mothers to read about child psychology and nursing.
Thanks AReality, for your comprehensive comments and for time to read my blog.
Schools should have played such an important role in educating people, too.
Nowadays, however, schools here seem to be so interested in helping get good scores rather than in helping mould students.
@Setareh: Thanks for your comments and taking time to read my blog.
You do have right not to agree, Eva, but the bottom line of my blog is also what you have nicely and very comprehensively elaborated.
Thanks a lot.
If educated here means also the manner, attitude, behavior,
Yes onee, that's what I meant.
Thanks for such comprehensive comment.
Yup, mother plays a big role to build up the character of her child.
Here, I will say... It's not always a well-educated and cultured mother who will be successful for raising her son. If educated here means only school, I do not agree. If educated here means also the manner, attitude, behavior, I agree.
Sometimes, a mother who was born in a poor family and has only a pure love and good manner could raise her child well too, I think. She would think that an education or some ways to be success should be reached by her child, so her child would be better than her. I don't know how to say more, but I think you know what I mean.
Again, it's true that a mother plays a big role for this. I wish mothers in the world would be more able to take care of her children, while some women as wife nowadays prefer working and leaving her task for this to a baby sitter or nanny. Best wishes to all mothers in the world.
Well said! A mother is a "skillful potter" who deals with raw material, thanks to her everyday dedication, she tries to take out his or her best work of art!
Great post! Yes, mothers can understand their kids more than anyone. I can't rely on anybody, I always think, I can do the best. Though, lack of time is killing me! But, I am trying my level best.
