I’m passionate about working with children, I enjoyed working with them and I love them and sometimes some of them are misunderstood.
No child is born bad!
Today, I’m going to share some of the questions your daughters want answers to …
Pre-teens and Teenage girls feel vulnerable, scared and at times unlovable.
I know they can also be difficult, self-centered and impossible.
As moms it’s our job to see past the eye-rolling and sighing to figure out what is really on their minds.
They are craving a more connected relationship with you, but what does that really mean?
After working with lots of girls over the years,
I have learned that what they really crave from their moms is an answer to these 3 question.
Do you really know me?
It seems a little silly, I know. Of course you know your daughter. But the question is really deeper than that. She is looking for evidence that you want to know who she is and what she cares about. She wants to know: Do you know what I like to do for fun? Do you know who my friends are? Do you know who my crush is? Do you know what kind of music I like?
And more importantly, do you know what I dream about? Do you know what kind of life I want for myself? Do you know what I’m afraid of? Do you know what I worry about?
One of our deepest, most basic human needs is the need for Love and Belonging.
Your daughter is craving a connection with you that reassures her that you see her, you hear her and you “get” her.
When was the last time you had a conversation with her about her future that didn’t involve getting into college and her grades?
When was the last time you asked her about her favorite artist and what she loves about her instead of just asking her to turn the music down?
Think on this today and I will see you tomorrow
Please dear parent let’s do better 🙏🏾😊
To be continued tomorrow …
