Research studies exploring influences on children's development support statements of the prophets regarding the significant influence of women as mothers. Findings from these studies confirm what President David O. McKay declared:
Motherhood is the greatest potential influence either for good or ill in human life. The mother's image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of the young child's mind. It is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world (1953, p. 452)."
Do we realize our influence as mothers?
