Her comments came amid Spanish media reports that the Real Madrid forward underwent treatment for a muscle injury on Wednesday.
Ronaldo missed Real's Champions League semifinal first-leg draw at City through injury, but the club said on Tuesday they were optimistic he would be ready for the return leg at the Bernabeu next Wednesday.
The Portugal international quoted Bobby McFerrin in an Instagram message, saying: "Don't worry, be happy.
Madrid had hoped Ronaldo would recover from a thigh injury in time for Tuesday's game, and there is now growing uncertainty over whether he will be fit in time for the return against City.
But at the launch of a new biography of herself, entitled "Mother Courage," Aveiro played down fears that her son could be sidelined for a run of games.
"He is fine, he is not at 100 percent, but he is at 80 percent," she said. "I think that he will be back next week."
Asked by reporters whether the 31-year-old should agree to sometimes be rested or substituted during games, Aveiro joked that she had passed on her own "strong" character to her son.
"Ronaldo is a person who always wants more," she said. "He is like his mother. He has a strong personality, he is very proud and he always demands more. This is his worst defect."
Aveiro said her view was that her son would be playing at the Bernabeu for a long time to come, adding: "Cristiano is happy here, he would like to finish his career at Real Madrid," Aveiro said.
Real Madrid will meet Manchester City in tomorrow's game played at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. In their last meeting, the score was 0-0. I wonder if Zidane's team prepared us with a surprise for tomorrow. Based on the past results of the two teams, I would expect for Real Madrid to perform well during this meeting and win this game. It should be interesting to see if Ronaldo will score during this match as he has a good average in terms of goals scored / match.
