The Türkmen have a beautiful saying: “Only my mother’s tears are real, others’ are fake.” The mother always takes care of her children. Respect mothers! Love mothers! We wouldn’t be paying them the respect they deserve, even if we carried them on top of our very heads. People who are respectful of their parents are happy and productive in their lives. Don’t believe in the greatness and goodness of those who are disrespectful of their parents. A man’s real essence can be understood in the respect he displays toward his parents.

 

OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR CONTINUATION!

My dear citizens!

My fellow countrymen!

The child is the product of the love, sincerity and will of the mother and the father. For parents, even a single hair of their children is worth the whole world. Because Türkmen people are hardworking and determined, sons are given a special value. When a son is born, the parents say, “We are wealthier, stately, now,” and his relatives say, “We have become more fist (powerful) in the family now.” When one asks the number of members in a family, they don’t tell you the number of mouths in the family, but they tell you the number of heads. The Türkmen’s love for his daughter requires special mentioning. That is because daughters are more vulnerable and they will become parts of other families in the future. A daughter should be very happy in her parent’s home.

The love found in a child’s heart has its origins in the child’s mother.

The dignity, bravery, foresight, and fearlessness of the child stem from the father.
