I love the mothering skills in the Animal Kingdom.

Mothers are always there beside there children.

Always loving. Always protecting. Always teaching. Always nurturing. Always watching.

The mothers are never too far away. They are always aware and are always looking out for the protection and safety of their young.

Knowing that the predators are watching. And waiting. And ready for the moment when their children are alone in the world.

Animal mothers know that they can't send their young out in the world until they are fully prepared and ready to account for thier livelihood.
They won't send them out until they know their young are able defend themselves against the dangers that will be theirs.

Does this mean the animal young are immature and not socialized and weird?

NO! It means that when they do go out to start their lives on their own.... they are fully ready in every way. And they will repeat the same skills to their young someday.... the same way they were taught. Creating a perfect order of things.

They have the confidence to be what they were destined to be.
