they dont, when the mother white shark delivers the pups (usually 2 to 10 at a time)she swims away and the pups are on their own. Newborn pups are about 4' - 5' (122 - 152 cm) long and will grow about 10" (25 cm) a year to maturity.

Sharks do not care for their children. The babies(pups) are ready to go off on their own immediately after hatching(though some sharks give live birth) As a matter of fact, a mother shark may eat her own pups if they stick around her too long!

They don't. So far as I have seen, no species of sharks exhibit social behavior beyond mating and feeding in ephemeral packs. Their young are deposited and abandoned. My opinion based on field research is that mothers abandon their young so as not to feed on them. Most sharks I work with tend to stop eating during pupping and resume feeding after birth almost immediately.

How does the mother Great White Shark take care of their young?

Sharks do not raise their young. Great white sharks are ovoviviparous, meaning that the eggs say inside the mother's body and continue to develop until leaving the mother's body. After birthing, the young sharks swim off, as sharks are cannibalistic, and will not hesitate to eat their own offspring.
