(138 words) Maternal love is the warmth and affection of a mother in relation to children.
The manifestation of these feelings we see in the proposed text. The hero’s mother came to the gymnasium to give her son the money forgotten on the table. The boy was shy of her battered appearance, so he rudely responded to affection. In response to this, the woman did not even reproach him, she simply dutifully left, hiding her eyes full of love and sadness. She loved her son so much that she could not be mad at him.
The same feeling blinded Mrs. Prostakova in the comedy of D. Fonvizin's "Younger." The woman did not see any shortcomings in her son, in every possible way pleased him. Her offspring also grew ungrateful. For example, in the finale, he rudely pushed his mother away, answering her in the same way as she communicated with everyone except him. Thus, sometimes excessive motherly love even interferes with proper education.
Care and concern for children is necessary, but they need to be controlled, otherwise excessive maternal love will spoil the child.
Example from the movie: Stefan Breeze’s film “Life” tells the story of Jeanne, who put all her love into her son. She was constantly engaged in his upbringing, which often became a series of concessions. Due to abundant custody and complete impunity, Paul grew up a selfish and arrogant man who devastated his mother and did not think a bit about her. And Jeanne gave all her fortune to cover his debts.
Media example: In a magazine I read about how a mother-heroine deals with 7 children. She says that she loves them wholeheartedly, but never helps them in their studies and in resolving conflicts. The woman claims that she constantly wants to help, but she understands that in this way children will grow up helpless and infantile. In her wise restraint, I see a beautiful manifestation of motherly love.
Example from personal life: My grandmother raised my mother strictly. Once she drove a sick girl to speak at a Christmas tree. According to her, she was sorry for the child to tears, but so she wanted to instill in her an unshakable will, commitment and responsibility to those who were waiting for her in the role of the Snow Maiden. In this act, I see the strongest motherly love, which is combined with a thorough and effective upbringing.
