My kids called me mom from day 1 (well, mama in the very beginning). Our therapist talks about that word as being respectful and that it means more than just a name for me. I am a person who earns that name with my care for them and they are to address me like that with kindness and respect. He has asked that they answer me with 'yes, mom' and eye contact everytime. They were 6 and 7 at homecoming. I just read someone else who mentioned (on another thread) all the cool names you could use for mom. Like Madre or some other languages...perhaps you and she can brainstorm some of those and she can find one she likes.
