Becoming a teenage mother can be a scary and daunting prospect. Aside from the stigma attached to it and the societal pressures just having to look after a child at such a young age must be incredibly frightening.
So if you know of a younger mom, or mom-to-be, offering support and kindness is definitely going to be appreciated. Encouraging rather than demonising is the way you should be treating them, and a good way to do this is through a card.
You may feel they have made bad decisions or wrong choices but support and genuine love could be the perfect way to guide them to a better life.
So use one of the Mother’s Day messages for teenage mothers below. You can copy them directly or change them to fit your situation.
