Children know that their mothers are influenced by factors such as nervous system development, emotional and cognitive development, frequency of parent-child interaction, living environment, and individual differences.

1. Nervous system development: The child's nervous system is gradually developed and improved, and the brain function is continuously enhanced, so that he can better perceive and understand the mother's emotions and care. Newborns have immature brains and limited perception of their surroundings. In the first few months of life, the brain develops rapidly and begins to recognize familiar sounds and faces. Generally, by 6-0 months, the mother can be recognized by the sound and smell, and the nervous system develops at this time, allowing the mother to have initial cognitive ability.

2. Affective cognitive development: Affective cognitive development enables the child to understand and experience emotions and become aware of the closeness of the mother. The expression of emotions in early infancy is simple, and most of them are physiological needs responses. As you grow, you begin to have more complex emotional experiences. At about 9-0 months, you can show uneasiness about your mother's departure and feel happy that your mother is back, which indicates that you are beginning to have emotional attachment and realize that your mother is important to you.

3. Frequency of parent-child interaction: Mothers interact more with their children, and children know their mothers earlier. Interaction includes daily care, play, communication, etc. The mother meets the child's needs in a timely manner, such as feeding when hungry, uncomfortable and comforting, the child will develop trust and dependence on the mother. Playing and talking with your child regularly can enhance the emotional connection between them. For example, if you spend a lot of time with your child every day, play games and tell stories to your child, your child will realize that her mother is close to her sooner.

4. Living environment: A stable and warm living environment helps children feel close to their mothers. The family atmosphere is harmonious, the family relationship is harmonious, the child can grow up in a safe environment, and it is easier to establish emotional attachment. Conversely, an unstable living environment, such as frequent moving and caregiver changes, may affect the child's emotional development and make him realize his or her mother later.

5. Individual differences: Each child has a different personality and temperament, and the speed of cognitive and emotional development is different. Some children are cheerful and outgoing, adapt quickly to their surroundings, and may realize their mother's parents early; Some children are introverted and sensitive and need more time and security, and may have this awareness later.

Children know that their mothers are affected by a variety of factors, and different children have different manifestations and time nodes. Parents should pay attention to their children's growth and development, provide them with a good living environment and sufficient parent-child interaction, and promote their children's emotional and healthy development.
