Child Behavior and Mothers

 Children behave differently with their mothers.  It is just a fact so people should stop thinking that children’s more challenging behavior with their mothers is somehow the fault of their mothers.  Children test limits and express their needs, feelings, and desires the most with the person or people with whom they feel the most comfortable.  This can be people other than mothers, but with young children, mothers are very often this person.  I felt compelled to write about this even though I am past this point in my life.
