Our Present Day Mothers
In reality, the institutions do not teach the children anything. Actually what the institutions do is teach the mothers to teach their own children. Here we have our young mothers in the best moment of their lives, not at the beginning of the end, but at the end of the beginning. These mothers themselves, at twenty five to thirty two years of age, are learning to speak in other languages, to read in other languages, to play the violin, to do gymnasium exercise, they go to concerts, visit museums and do many other splendid things that most of us dreamed about doing in a fuzzy stage in the far future, which does not usually arrive for any of us. T
he fact that they are doing these activities with their own little children multiplied the joy that makes them carry these things out. The know the sensation of having a high purpose and feel proud of their children and of what these children will one day give to the world. They have also dilated and increased their own knowledge and have found that they have more confidence and that they are better capacitated then before to start to teach their children. They hoped their children would change, but they discover with amazement that they also have higher expectations and higher goals for their lives as a consequence of being professional mothers. Isn’t it a nice secondary effect? These are the professional mothers. Does this mean that it is impossible for a mother to multiply the intelligence of her baby unless she is willing to be a full time professional mother? Of course not. The thousands of mothers and fathers that have been seen can generally be divided into three different groups. |
