nice eye contact from the child, that red head band really grabs you too.
maybe next time, try asking the mother to either look at her child or at the camera - it's nice as is, but if there's some connection from her eye line, it makes it stronger
finally, make it a little more intimate by cropping down the top - maybe to the tops of theirheads, or even clip the top of the mother's head?

The watch caught my attention as well..but then again it's a nice juxtaposition between the modern glitz and the more tradiational type jewellery. A tender moment caught here, and you've seen the problem yourself , just a bit soft, if the kid's eyes could be a little bit sharper it would kind of give the illuasion of the rest being sharper (if you know what I mean)
BTW you've identified a very good point here which as a critique team member I see all the time - people doing portraits oftheir own kids find it hard to be objective about the photo as a photo in its own right: and I usually say "is it a good photo that even someone with no personal acquaintance with the subjects would say "that's a good photo"?.. and i think this is...nice work
