Caring, laughter, supportive, loving, hero, beautiful, strength, amazing, devoted – just some of the words that are used in response to the word ‘mother’ in this powerful and thought-provoking video.
Girls from the age of five, up to women aged 50 (and every age in between) were asked what the word ‘mother’ means to them as part of a word association exercise in time for Mother’s Day in the US tomorrow.
Watch and listen to the varied responses – some silly and funny, some deep and meaningful – and notice how the meaning of the word changes as the participants get older.
Warning: keep the tissues close, it’s a bit of a tearjerker.
