The bond between a mother and a child begins at pregnancy when the child is still not born into this world. The mother is the primary caretaker of the baby in the womb and takes good care of herself so that the child will be healthy. The father also does his best to keep the mother and the child safe and sound. The bond strengthens when the child is born. It intensifies as the child grows together with the parents. This special type of bond that only children and parents have is why we should celebrate the Son and Daughter Day.
