3 Ways to Grow Your Relationship w Your Daughter ✨
This is a #flashbackFRIDAY 🥹💕
Since the day she was born, it’s always been a priority for me to have the best relationship with my daughter.
She is now nine years old, in fourth grade, and finding her own way. She has a group of girlfriends she adores, but we still remain best friends, mother and daughter for life 🥰
Here are 3 ways I’ve been able to accomplish that as we’ve both grown, evolved, and changed 💕
1.) Let your daughter BE HERSELF 💕 let her GROW into who GOD created her to be: we all have expectations of what our children are going to be like, and when they get here they are who they are. I think the most important thing is to just let them be who they are and work on shaping them, teaching them and growing your relationship with them 💜
2.) Pick a TV Show & make it ‘OUR SHOW’: we just finished watching Alexa & Katie, and it was the best show that touched on real life subjects, started conversations, and really allowed me to see how much she’s growing up 🌸We still haven’t found another show to watch yet so if anybody has any wrecks that are good for a preteen girl, drop it in the comments!
4.) Let YOUR DAUGHTER do the talking and YOU LISTEN: the amount that I have learned about her from just listening is insane! She is definitely the talker in the relationship, and there are times where she talks about things that I don’t care about, but SHE CARES about them SO I LISTEN.

Building a strong relationship with your daughter is crucial as she navigates her formative years. Encouraging her to be herself is essential; this allows her to grow into the person she's meant to be, free from the constraints of parental expectations. Additionally, choosing a shared activity, like watching a TV show together, can create bonding moments that spark meaningful conversations. Shows that tackle real-life issues can serve as excellent discussion starters that help you connect at a deeper level. Lastly, the importance of listening cannot be overstated. By allowing her to lead conversations, you not only learn about her interests but also show her that her thoughts and feelings are valued. Engaging with her on topics she cares about establishes trust and encourages open communication, laying the groundwork for a supportive and loving relationship as she matures. Always remember, the goal is to forge a lasting connection that will adapt and thrive as both of you evolve.
