Mother's Day is an occasion to celebrate mothers. Based on my research and those of other psychologists, here are some tips for celebrating moms on Mother's Day, and every day, to enhance(增强)well-being for both moms and their loved ones.
Psychology research suggests that Mother's Day cards have it right —building a mother's confidence by telling them that they're amazing or that they always know how to make the family feel better can be greatly effective in enhancing moms' happiness. Compared to fathers, mothers generally report feeling more emotionally connected to their kids and more strongly identifying as a parent. A phone call with their kids can really improve a mom's well-being.
The benefits of celebrating moms also reach their kids. For example, my research has found that moms who are less stressed are seen by their adolescent kids as being better at understanding the kids' ideas. When mothers feel positive, they have better communication with their kids and their kids feel better. That means it's important to send appreciation mom's way every day, not just on Mother's Day.
Mothers are the main source of comfort and care for families around the world, yet it's easy to take them for granted(想当然认为)most days across the year. Helping moms feel happy will help the family feel happy, too.
