1、Just exactly what is a mother's intuition? Unfortunately, not even mothers who profess to having it can explain exactly what it is. Some would say it was a "sixth sense" or a funny feeling that prompted them to check on their children's whereabouts and activities. Others have claimed to hear a voice inside their heads that called their children's names or had a 'flash vision' of what their children were doing. In any event, almost every mother seems to have it and will swear by its reliability.
A typical example of this ability is the case of a woman who claims that her intuition prevented each of her five children from serious mishaps. Once she awoke in the middle of the night and felt the need to check on her son Paul, who was three years old at the time. He wasn't in his bed, so she raced down the stairs to find him. She found him outside, sleep walking, headed straight toward a flight of concrete steps. Then again, there was a time when one of her daughters fell off a horse and broke her arm. The child neither cried nor yelled for help. But the mother, sensing that something was wrong, came out of the house and found her in a field just minutes after the accident. How did she know? "Just a feeling," she said, "that something was wrong."
The concept that people are capable of having a sixth sense is not a new one. Numerous studies of ESP (extrasensory perception) have been underway for decades. What they have revealed only supports the theory that people are capable of having and using another sense beyond sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. But no single group of people seems to have this ability as consistently as do mothers.
