I do not have a specific definition for motherhood, because to me, it carries many meanings. However, to put it simply, motherhood is the state of being a mother. It encompasses the qualities, characteristics, and experiences associated with being a mother, including nurturing, caring for, and raising children. Being a mother is not only about carrying a pregnancy for nine months—there is much more to it. Unfortunately, some women are called "mothers" in name only, without exhibiting the true qualities of motherhood in their actions.

Whatever a child becomes—whether good or bad—a mother plays a significant role in that outcome. A mother who chooses to constantly curse, use abusive language, and engage in negative behavior toward her child under the guise of "correction" ends up damaging the child emotionally and psychologically. Words have power, and when a mother speaks negatively over her child, she may be destroying the child’s future. Why would a mother, who carried her child for nine months and endured the pain of childbirth, choose to curse that child rather than correct him/her with love? Is there no other way to discipline a child? Is it wrong to use love as a tool for correction? Must you abuse a child with your words in the name of discipline? Have you considered the lasting effects of those words?

A child’s success in life does not rely solely on intelligence or academic brilliance. The words spoken to him/her and the emotional and spiritual environment in which he/she is raised also play crucial roles. Some mothers, through their words, unknowingly hinder their child’s progress. Sending your child to the best schools is not enough; your emotional, spiritual, psychological, and social support also matter greatly.

Mothers should learn to pray for their children consistently, as such prayers carry power and have a lasting positive impact on a child’s life. No matter what your child does, no matter how he/she behaves, always speak positively to him/her. Under no circumstance should you curse your child—it will affect his/her future in ways you may not foresee. A child's destiny can be shaped by the words of a mother.

Make it a habit to pray for your children every day, even when they upset you. Never stopped speaking words of encouragement and hope into their lives.

Correct your child with love and positive words. Children need love and care. Mothers, please do not curse or abuse your children excessively in the name of correction. Correct them calmly and lovingly—they will listen, without you needing to shout or scream. Remember, you gave birth to that child, and at least 80% of their behavior is influenced by you, while the remaining 20% may come from society. In one way or another, the behaviors you criticize in your child might have been inherited or learned from you. Cursing or speaking negatively will not change the child—it will likely make things worse.

Whatever you want your child to become in life is heavily influenced by the words you speak. Mothers, always speak positively over your children so that you can live to see and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
