"My son's name is Timothy, he is two years old," Lykova introduced her boy to Bored Panda. "He is very humble with strangers, but a real boss with relatives, especially his mother."The artist said that her life has changed a lot since she brought Timothy into this world. And only for the better.
"After his birth, there was a strong reappraisal of values, during which I found my destiny. Also, I realized that before Timothy, I had a lot of free time and opportunities that I did not appreciate."

However, the 29-year-old agreed that motherhood has its challenges. "I have very little time that I can devote to myself and my personal development in other areas, of course, there's also a greater financial constraint." But all of these things are mere nuances. Her boy means the world to Lykova and she's thankful for every second that she gets to spend with him.

Children in tantrums can be overwhelming. Go to another room and get some distance before you lose your temper.

My two year old 'fed' his dinosaur coco pops this morning and brought it upstairs to me. He's a very caring child when he's not licking the trees in the garden
