Why are Mothers important? “Research shows that parenting is one of the most important jobs you’ll ever have, because everything you do as a parent counts. Children rely on their parents to help them make sense of the world. No one has a greater impact on a child’s development than their parents, and since we are nearing Mother’s Day, we will specifically recognize how important a mom’s role is in her child’s healthy development,” says Katie Simons, Executive Director of Talaris Institute.
