I agree. This type of intuition doesn’t have to be solely a mother’s intuition. It would depend on the family make-up. Every family is so unique.Emma Grey wrote: ↑08 Aug 2023, 02:09 I think the people closest to us are often very tuned in to changes in us, and in this case it’s the mother. These intuitions are reported by fathers and adoptive parents as well, so perhaps more about the family set-up than biology.
(Disclaimer that I’m not a mother so not coming from a place of personal experience)

I do agree with this. I am also sometimes amazed by how in tune a mother's instincts can be with her child's needs. The same goes for fathers, especially those involved with their child's life and development.Saima Rahman wrote: ↑08 Aug 2023, 07:56 Many mothers have a strong intuition when it comes to their child's well-being or safety. I think it is a combination of emotional connection, close observation, and subconscious cues that make this intuition so accurate. And yes, it can provide valuable insights when a child is ill or in danger, and Mary Ellen did truly understand what is going on with her son and helped him.

That is absolutely right. I also think the will to protect a child upholds the parent's faith and sometimes procurs solutions where there seems to be none.Rupali Mishra wrote: ↑03 Aug 2023, 09:29 I firmly believe that mothers nearly always have the right idea. They'll do anything to protect their children's lives.

I am not a mother, but as a father one of my biggest fears is something horrible happening to my children - the idea of them having something hurtful happen that I am not able to fix is very frightening. I think this would be extremely hard for any parent.

All I can say is that it does pay to have some kind of faith to hold onto when the bad times come calling.

You have put it beautifully, and I completely agree.Kebun Bunga wrote: ↑03 Aug 2023, 00:27 In my opinion, Mary Ellen's strong motherly intuition and bond with Louis played a crucial role in realizing that something was wrong with her child. A genuine and deep connection between a mother and her child often lets her pick up on subtle changes and signs of distress that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. This emotional connection can lead to early detection and timely action, potentially making a significant difference in the outcome of a challenging situation. Having hope and doing everything in one's power to keep the child alive and cherish precious memories is an instinct for many parents. Faith and support from loved ones can be pillars of strength during such trying times. Specific individuals find comfort in their faith, believing their child will be consoled and protected by a higher entity after their demise. Everyone's response to such a situation is unique, and there is no definitive or incorrect way to cope. The profound love and bond shared between a parent and child possess immense strength, fostering resilience and courage during adversity.

And yes, I believe that parents have great knowledge of their children. You spend so much time with them that you know their routines, what is normal and not for them, when they are in pain...

I think it is normal for parents to be devastated when their child is sick. As a parent, you dust yourself up and do the best for your child to get the necessary medical attention until they recover.
