Mother is a nurturer, nurse, negotiator. She is One Navrasa Mom

One of the most meaningful roles that a mother plays is the role of nurturer. This word is sometimes taken synonymously with the word “mother”. When a mother nurtures her children well, love and goodness are awakened in the children’s hearts. Because of our mothers’ love, we learn to love, as well and we feel God’s love more profoundly. Today, in this journey of Mom’s be Everything, traveling, and doing multiple roles today is the day for letter N. Mother is a nurturer, nurse, negotiator. She is One Navrasa Mom.

Nurturer

A mother is a nurturer, a provider, a protector, a support system, a mentor, a sturdy foundation, a well of love – motherhood is not confined to biological terms. A mother’s love lives for life. Being a nurturer she supports us unconditionally, The job of being a carer is a life-long commitment for them. Many mothers had to give up their careers to do it full-time. It is undoubtedly an arduous challenge only mothers can live up to.

The word motherhood defines women’s eternal roles; it describes their nature as nurturers” (Daughters in My Kingdom [2011]

Nurse

Since the birth of our child, the first role we have to adorn is of being a nurse. When a mother nurtures her children well, love and goodness are awakened in the children’s hearts. She breastfeeds, gives medicines at timely intervals, stays awake on feverish nights, baths, and even dry wash as required, cleans, and keeps all hygienic.

But, there are certain skills of being a mom that translates perfectly into some lines of work. Moms make good teachers, great nurses, and amazing cooks, both at home and in these professional roles. Mothers have a load of patience and way of communication which is needed to nurse a child. Being a good mom makes you prepared to become a nurse

Not just this a mother is like a professional boo-boo fixer, scrape soother, magical bruise healer. She is a healer to all injuries. Haven’t we sang songs with our warm breath stating it will all go away soon.
In Marathi its a saying –

Navrasa mom

This beautiful title I read on Mother’s gurukul site and fell in love with it. Have you ever pondered upon Navrasas of Motherhood? A Mother is the combination of nav/ 9 rasas/ emotions which makes her a complete WoW MoM. She knows it best when to use which rasa of motherly emotions and this helps her bond with her children more deeply and emotionally connected.

Night time story teller

Stories and bonding with kids have their own special way. I love telling stories to my kids at night, they help them to think, and also get lost in the magical characters of stories. Being a mom nighttime storytelling was a ritual me and my kids followed for years, till the time they grew up and got engrossed in studies.

Crisis negotiator

A mother is always a diffuser of dangerous situations. She knows it best when to intervene if kids are in fighting or arguing. She is one law enforcement officer, or you can even call her special agreement agent. Well, the reason I use this term of special arrangement, as many times moms have to offer another cookie or even a glass of juice to manage negotiators. (“Fine! You can have one more cookie if you get in the bath after.”) haven’t we done this ever? I’m not saying it’s good but yes sometimes situations do arise when we need to manage it cleverly.

Mother is a nurturer, she is not just a nurse, but the combo of Navrasa mom with lots of emotions, feelings hidden within her. This is the letter “N” in the journey of motherhood where we explore Mom’s roles in their children’s lives and we can say Mom’s are everything for her kids, you name it we have it.
