The family convey their attitudes and beliefs directly and indirectly to their children and they assimilate these influences by observing the actions and behavior of the parents. In families with a religious attitude, the children's attitude is formed based on religious beliefs and these beliefs cause the formation of a religious characteristics in the children. If the mother did not have the intellectual ability and belief necessary to familiarize the children with authentic religious thoughts and beliefs, such children in dealing with striking ideas and thoughts would remain defenseless and their psychological health would be at risk. Mother's moods and traits, family authenticity, heart faith, ethics and mother's nutrition during pre-pregnancy and post-pregnancy could be very effective in the child's upbringing and effectiveness of religious teachings. In religious teachings, there is a lot of emphasis on children's ritual religious practice for their mental health and well-being, which is the responsibility of parents, especially mothers.
