Description

When a child kicks and screams, a mother nurtures him with love and patience, but most of all her own equilibrium and self-confidence. She sets him at ease with the knowledge that while he is out of control, she is not. Strong and firmly behind the wheel, she steers him to safety, through the turbulent waters of his immature temper tantrum. She models the equanimity which every authority figure must display towards their frenzied-up dependent.
