Loren could only look at her mother, who had a way of raising her child that was different from others. While many mothers were gentle and protective, Loren’s mother believed that independence came through patience and discipline. She did not always rush to comfort her little one, allowing Loren to learn from each new experience. At times, Loren seemed confused, quietly watching and hoping for affection, yet she never wandered far from her mother. Day by day, Loren slowly became stronger, braver, and more curious about the world. Though her mother’s methods seemed unusual, they helped Loren grow with confidence and resilience.
