So I would request all of you to come along with me and observe the equation shared between them.
Amita is a very warm mother but at the same time, she is firm and knows how and when to set the limits for little Aman.
Aman is a preschooler almost the same age as Gita. He is a happy and contented child who is independent and self-reliant. Aman likes to do his work independently and also makes friends easily. He seems to be a very well-balanced child who knows how to control his emotions and exert perfect self-control. Aman likes to express warmth and loves to be around his peers
He is fearless and loves to explore his environment. If someone tries to bother him, he is extremely competent and assertive. His teachers are very fond of him as he eagerly participated in activities and interacts with his peers with ease. He is a calm child and very well adjusted in the class environment.
Amita loves Aman and patiently listens to him. Aman tells her about his teacher and friends. Amita listens to him but also reasons with him instead of blindly following whatever he says. At times, she has to set clear limits and enforce boundaries to keep him in control. Amita does not give in to the unreasonable demands of little Aman.
Though she gives him autonomy and encourages independent behavior, at the same time she tells him if she feels he is not on the right track.
Both of them share a beautiful relationship as a mother and son but at times Aman has to listen to his mom and mend his ways. He can’t take things for granted and Amita has to be both tough and soft with her little bundle of joy to ensure that he is on the right track.
