92 Mother-Daughter Activities You'll Both Enjoy

The bond between a mother and her daughter is one of the most important relationships a girl will have in her lifetime. And sadly society gives us the false expectation that moms and daughters are doomed to be at odds with one another as soon as our baby girl approaches puberty.

And just like self-fulfilling prophecies do, this expectation takes over and suddenly you look up and your once close relationship with your daughter feels more bitter than sweet.

If you’ve been dreading the teenager years with your daughter and fear what’s to come and change in your relationship, I’m happy to say it’s all a lie.

We have a choice to believe that lie and act accordingly or decide to expect differently. I’m choosing the road less traveled.

Who’s with me?

I have both a teenage daughter and a tween daughter and I treasure those beautiful hearts. And developing the mother-daughter bond we have now wasn’t always easy and I made a ton of mistakes in the process. And these ideas are ones my girls and I all love and work for us!

Before I dive in these super simple and fun mother-daughter bonding activities, I want to take a moment to share why it’s so important to make time to bond with your child.

Importance of Mother-Daughter Bonding

Creating a close bond with your daughter has benefits you’ll treasure for a lifetime as a mom. And though the benefits for you are amazing, the benefits of a close relationship with you (for your daughter) don’t even come close!

That’s because she needs you… more than she’ll probably ever admit.

And she has a challenging road ahead as a girl finding her way in this rather upside down world.

She needs encouragement when she wants to give up and feels like she’s failing.

She needs unconditional love when all her friends decided over the summer they wanted new, better friends and she feels all alone.

She needs support as she steps out to try new and scary things.

And she needs a soft place to land when she really messes up… because she will. We all do.

You have the power to do and be all that for your daughter. And I already know you want to because you’re still with me! So let’s talk about mother daughter bonding activities!

1.

Take an Interest in What She Loves

This step is a huge one because it can really challenge us as parents. Our kids are all unique and have many interests and passions, many of which we may not be interested in AT ALL. Or better yet, not be skilled at in the least bit.

That makes it challenging for us to jump in and do their thing with them. But doing one of your daughter’s favorite things doesn’t mean doing it just like they do.

Let’s say for example your daughter is really into skateboarding. I personally wouldn’t recommend buying a skateboard and learning new tricks.

You might be seeing the inside of an emergency room sooner than you think!

But taking an interest could look like going outside or to a park and shooting slo-mo videos of their tricks, searching for cool skateboarding tutorials on YouTube, and even watching and helping them practice their skills.

Who knows? You might just have a great time!

This all counts as a great opportunity for bonding time with your daughter and she’ll know how much you care about her and what she likes! The possibilities are endless.

2. Have a Silly Question Asking Session

Asking questions is a fun activity that people love. That’s why games like Truth or Dare and Would you Rather are so popular.

Getting to dive into someone’s head is fun but it’s also a fantastic way to get to know the other person’s heart! And that’s exactly the prize we’re after when spending time with our kids. After all, you can’t really bond with a person’s heart if you don’t know what’s in a person’s heart.

And that’s where the questions come in. Asking totally hypothetical and wacky questions makes this activity both fun and insightful. Try asking questions like:

If anyone in the world could be your teacher at school for a day, who would it be?
If you could change any of rules of this world which ones would you change?

Check out 365 questions to ask your daughter.

I use these questions at bedtime, just one per night, and it’s a perfect way to end our day in a connected way.

Would you rather eat weird food or wear weird clothes?
Would you rather have a lot of money or a lot of friends?

You could also complete this Would You Rather questions with polls together, and see how your answers compare to everyone else’s!

3.

Read a Book Together

Even if your daughter isn’t really into reading and books for pleasure, almost everyone loves a good story! I started reading books with my daughter every night a few years ago and it’s such a fun time for us.

We both take turns reading pages, as the latest adventure unfolds. We both love mystery, adventure, and suspense books so that’s what we always read. I actually recommend that type of book if you’re just starting out because they add so much fun and drama.

We’ve tried to read other genres but they always read rather slow and boring. I think that just has to do with the read-aloud aspect.

This is such a fun activity because it gives you something common to talk about and share the ideas and life lessons learned in the book. I mean, we’ve all read a fantastic book and were dying to talk to someone about it. Hence, the popularity of book clubs.

That means reading books together creates instant and unlimited conversation possibilities!

I love to share a favorite book with my daughters. Some of our favorites are The Miraculous Journey Of Edward Tulane, The Menagerie, Orphan Island and Alone.

4. Start a Mother-Daughter Journal

This is one of my favorite fun mother daughter activities. Sharing a Mom and Me Journal like this one gives you and your daughter a safe place to connect and communicate.

Kids can be wildly creative but sometimes they just need a little push to get those juices flowing. And that’s what all the fun prompts in this journal do! Plus, you can keep them year after year and look back on their precious answers.

Sharing a journal is especially helpful if you’re experiencing challenges with communication. Not every child is comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings directly to another person. Allowing them a safe space to write and draw their emotions is helpful for both you and your daughter.

Do one of these At Home Fun Mother Daughter Date Ideas

Having a standing mother-daughter date or date night doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or an over-the-top event. You can schedule these fun activities as frequently as works for your life. They can be as frequent as once a week or once a quarter.

The point is, to set aside some special time to spend with your daughter… just you and her. If you have more than one daughter as I do, you’ll need to schedule two mother-daughter dates.

Play a Board Game Together

Playing games with your child is a no-brainer but not just any games. Board games are best for bonding time with your kids. Playing video games with your kids isn’t bad, but usually doesn’t allow for good communication.

And you may be surprised to know that playing board games is actually good for our health! They help with our cognitive functions, help reduce stress, and even keep our brains young for longer. So that’s a total win!

Playing games is also great to help you connect and have fun with your daughter. My kids love playing board games and my middle daughter is especially strategic and competitive when playing games. I really learned about her competitiveness by playing games with her.

These are some of my family’s favorites:

The Bears and the Bees
Sleeping Queens
Apples 2 Apples
Kids Against Maturity
Color Brain- Disney Edition

Bonding Mother Daughter Quotes

It’s a special bond that spans the years, through laughter, worry, smiles and tears. A sense of trust that can’t be broken, a depth of love sometimes unspoken. A life long friendship built on sharing, hugs and kisses, warmth and caring. Mother and daughter their hearts as one, a link that can never be undone. -Unknown
As soon as I looked into your beautiful eyes, I knew that we had a bond that could never be broken. – Brenda Kosciuk

Ask How You Can Help

This last step isn’t exactly an activity but it is one of the most effective ways to bond with your daughter. This works really well for older daughters.

As our kids grow, they instinctively become more independent. And it’s our parental duty to allow them the space to do things on their own. And this helps us out by reducing a lot of little things off our plate like packing lunches, doing hair before school, or even making their own snacks.

My oldest daughter has gotten to the point of taking care of most of her responsibilities on her own. And that’s awesome and allows me to focus on my other two that still need much of my help.

But I realized one day, that for a while I had been doing nothing for my oldest in terms of “helping” her do things. So I decided to do a little check-in. I sat down in her room, as I usually do, and complimented her on staying on task with most of her daily to-do’s.

I told her how impressed I was with her. Then I followed up with an important question: “It looks like you’re handling your routine well on your own, but is there anything I can help you with at all?”

This question does two things: it first makes her feel noticed and appreciated (a really big deal!) and it also affirms that she’s not alone (also a really big deal). Offering our help isn’t overbearing and allows our growing kid to make a choice.

My daughter just smiled and said, “no, I think I’m good.” But I swear I noticed her shoulders pushed back a bit farther than usual and a light in her eyes twinkled just a tad brighter in that moment. Our kids desperately need to know that we see them.

This age is also the perfect time to check in on your daughter and make sure that her self-esteem and self-confidence is where it should be. You can use these questions to build self-confidence to help.

Final Thoughts

Making room to connect with your daughter is a joy and a privilege but should never feel overwhelming. Making things simple and fun is your only priority here.

Try doing one thing on the list and seeing what your daughter enjoys most. Then do that consistently.

This sacred time is one you’ll both treasure and will help you create an unbreakable bond that will be enormously helpful as your daughter gets older.

Remember to use this time to connect, affirm her, and get to know her heart. This is the very definition of time well spent!

Relationship between mother and daughter: methods of getting closer to her child

Almost every woman, during pregnancy, dreams of having a girl. They imagine how they will cook together, how they will share secrets. On the subconscious, a woman wants to see in her daughter what she herself did not have time, for some reason she could not do in her life.

For example, a woman wanted to dance all her life, but it did not work out, and the first thing she does is send her daughter to dance, forgetting to ask the child if he wants it. This is the very first and main problem of the relationship between daughters and mothers. Not understanding the mother that the daughter is a person, not her clone. While the daughter is small, she will obey her mother, but over the years she will begin to say what she wants and what she doesn’t, and most mothers perceive this as disobedience.

But in fact, this is just an expression of one's desires. Having imposed her interest on the child at a young age, the mother does not just want to hear a refusal. And the daughter begins to feel pressure, she begins to show violent protest. Most often, this protest begins in adolescence. But there are different children, there are those who will obey to the last, if only the mother does not get upset, thus, the girl's psyche breaks down, she becomes more nervous, dissatisfied with life.

u, is it hard for a mother to just sit down and talk, find out what her daughter really wants, even if she is doing something, find out if she likes it. Frank conversations, attentiveness on the part of the mother, this is the solution to all problems, improving mutual understanding. Absolutely every girl would like to tell her mother everything, to get advice, no matter how “prickly” her daughter is. You must always remember this.

And how many times do mothers say to their daughters: “What kind of girl are you, if you behave like that?” What did the daughter do? Broken knees and ripped pantyhose? So what if you didn’t have this and it didn’t stop you from getting married and having children. By saying such words, you greatly undermine the girl's self-esteem, which in the future can lead to terrible problems in relationships with the opposite sex.

Another important problem in the relationship between daughters and mothers is that the daughter is going to get married. Everything seems to be simple, if not for one BUT! The mother begins to compare her daughter's chosen one with her father.

There are no identical people - this is one, two - your daughter needs her husband, not yours. By understanding this, you can avoid a huge number of problems. For each mother, there are several rules for raising daughters. Let's look at them separately: Every girl doubts her beauty. And in adolescence, this can turn into a huge problem.

Your task is always to emphasize her virtues from a very young age and you must not laugh at her shortcomings. The slightest mockery can grow into a huge complex. If a girl spins in front of a mirror for a long time - let her study herself, let her learn to love herself, do not interfere with her in this. Help, encourage her work on your appearance. Wants to try making hair masks, never laugh. Help with everything.

Whatever type of parenting you choose, always show your love. If the girl is deprived of affection, then she will rush at the first person she meets, who allegedly gives her this affection.

That is to say, she will look for this kindness in the people around her. And it won't lead to anything good. Those girls who had enough affection in childhood are more confident in life, more determined. Let your daughter take care of loved ones. Even if she does it clumsily, thank her. A woman should be able to give care to loved ones. Teach your daughter this, teach her to feel someone else's pain. After all, femininity is a manifestation of affection and care. Having not taught a girl in childhood to be feminine, she herself will never learn this.

Every girl should know how to run a household. Gradually accustom your daughter to this, from an early age. She wanted to take the rag in her hands, do not scold, but encourage. Turn joint cleaning into entertainment, into a game.

Make her want it herself, ask for it herself. Another big plus is that joint activities bring people together. Teach your daughter to smile. Wherever she is: on the street, in public transport, etc., teach her to enjoy every day. A smile draws people in.

The most important thing for any mother to remember is that her child is, first of all, a PERSONALITY, he has his own interests, his own desires, his own preferences, and they are not always similar to your interests. Always talk to your daughter like a grown woman. Never answer a cry with a cry - show your superiority, for which she will thank you in the future. Always ask and consider your daughter's opinion, and if you are wrong about something, learn to admit it and ask for forgiveness.

what problems may arise. Correct relationship between daughter and mother

Content of the article:

The relationship with the mother is practically the first and strongest bond that every child has. In almost all cases, it remains the same strong for life. Sometimes it exacerbates conflicts and worsens relationships, depending on how attached mother and child are. Kinship in some cases complicates mutual understanding in conflicts and greatly hurts the feelings of each side. Such difficulties are especially difficult in relations with the daughter's mother.

Peculiarities of relationship between daughter and mother

Communication with mother is established from a very young age. There is evidence that the child is already in the womb able to perceive the sounds and voices of loved ones, thus getting to know the outside world. After birth, a close relationship with the mother is formed.

But even this strong connection is subject to various conflicts and problems from which it is difficult to get out. Most often, these disagreements are observed between daughters and mothers. Emotional female response to external conditions contributes to the rapid emergence of conflicts and most often worsens the relationship between these close people.

Building a bond between a child and a mother lies on the shoulders of the latter. It is she who dictates the rules of interaction and relationships that will develop over time. That is, education plays the most important role in conflicts between these people. Even if the daughter is the culprit of specific quarrels and stumbling blocks, the mother still partially takes responsibility for these events, since she did not teach her to do the right thing in time.

Blood relationship, if any, will always bind these people, bringing them closer. If the mother is not biological, then this factor will appear in their quarrels all their lives. This is at the root of all conflicts over adoption or between stepmothers and stepdaughters.

Be that as it may, every mother wants the best for her child. Exceptions are in socially disadvantaged families where alcohol and drugs are abused. In the view of parents, the ideal life of their children, where the best dreams come true, in their opinion. Naturally, they do not always coincide with what the children themselves dream of.

New generations dream of something else, more modern. Living standards, moral values, priorities between different areas of activity are changing. On this basis, disagreements very often arise, since the mother represents a better future by her own standards. The daughter at this time is trying with all her might to prove her independence and show the strength of her abilities. In such conditions, the relationship with the mother does not add up.

Varieties of relationships with mother

At each age, a child is characterized by a specific type of interaction, in which the worldview changes. For a girl who is growing up, from the very first years, her mother is an ideal, a role model and a woman who wants to be equal to. But over time, this image begins to dissipate and change.

Consider the types of relationships between mother and daughter, depending on the age of the latter:

Up to 12 years . When the daughter is not yet 12, her worldview focuses on family values. Her world revolves around her mother and father, and friends play secondary roles. During this period, children tend to share their own problems and experiences, they are quite open, in contrast to the following age periods.
12 to 18 years old . This is adolescence, when all the psychological and physiological changes in the daughter's life come into play. Hormonal surges that occur in the body affect behavior and the affective sphere of life. The feeling of independence is constantly growing, and the girl wants to be independent. The authority of the mother decreases over time. It was then that the first signs of a difficult relationship with the mother were observed. In her person, the teenager begins to notice flaws, calls into question all the methods of education and the principles that she taught. The rebellious adolescence provokes frequent conflicts. The daughter often criticizes the mother, and she reacts violently to the behavior of her child.
From 18 to marriage (or having a permanent partner) . When a daughter becomes a fully formed adult, many paths and lines open up in her life, which gradually develop. Undoubtedly, the mother wants to be a part of this and will try in every possible way to support her daughter in the ways that she sees fit. In some cases, she will forbid everything in a row in order to protect her from trouble, in others she will try to give advice so that her daughter makes fewer mistakes. The latter, in turn, will want to use her right of majority to act in her own way, even if this is not entirely correct. The first romantic relationship with a girl is hard on the part of her mother. Naturally, she will evaluate each guy quite carefully and her opinion may often not coincide with her daughter. The same applies to the choice of university or college, future profession. Moving from the parental home only exacerbates the whole problem of relationships.
From marriage to growing up grandchildren . This is a rather voluminous period during which the relationship between mother and daughter remains at the same level. They can change in any period, over time, the conflict significantly decreases, but this is already individual. If a daughter has a permanent young man, naturally, he will be carefully checked by the mother. At the same time, she will be much more selective than her daughter. If something is not liked in the chosen one, the mother will tell her daughter about it, but whether this will affect the final decision depends only on the latter. With the advent of children in a young family, most grandmothers want to take part in the upbringing. Usually, the views of newly minted parents often do not coincide with the more traditional ones of the grandmother. In addition, when a woman moves a little further in a generation, she begins to experience a sense of competition and lack of attention. Nobody wants to get old. Therefore, she will try in every possible way to be useful and do everything so that her opinion is taken into account. Often a daughter, with the advent of her family, forgets about her parents, and the relationship with her mother noticeably weakens. Again, this is always individual. If their relationship is warm enough, then the appearance of grandchildren can bring mother and daughter closer. The presence of family experience in the first is very useful in the early stages of educating the next generation.

Ways to restore the relationship between mother and daughter

In most cases, family conflicts between daughter and mother can be adjusted independently without any help. It would be best if both sides put in the effort. Consider the methods separately for mother and daughter.

In all cases, conflict situations between mother and daughter are individual. This is manifested in character traits, peculiarities of upbringing and social environment, which always leaves its mark on the relationship between generations. Naturally, each person is able to react differently to conflicts, so in some cases a quarrel will grow between these close people, and in another - just an honest conversation.

Psychologists can give some advice for a daughter to improve a bad relationship with her mother:

Understanding . Mother and daughter belong to different generations. The environment of their upbringing is significantly different, especially in the modern period, when every decade there are significant changes in the worldview of people. The youth are becoming more and more educated and have sources of enthusiasm that the older people are running out of. These cultural and age differences cause most of the known conflict situations between daughter and mother. That is why, in order to establish relationships, it is extremely important to understand this factor, which will always be present. If the daughter will feel and take into account their differences, this will contribute to understanding between them.
Trust . Whatever the relationship between these close people is now, no one has canceled the blood relationship. A child will forever remain a child for a mother, even decades later. Her instincts are directed towards the well-being of her child's life, so every daughter must understand that her mother only wants the best for her. Over the years, comes the realization that she is perhaps the only person from whom you do not expect betrayal. All acquaintances, friends in life can be true only for a while. This also applies to romantic relationships. Almost the only person who always stands up for her child and never betrays is the mother. If this is realized in time, trust is formed as a sign of recognition and confidence in the benevolence of intentions.
Integration . No matter how eventful the life of a daughter is, she must always find a place in it for her mother. It should be understood that the best years of her mother's life were given to her, which she spent taking care of a small child. It deserves respect and at least participation in life. It is not necessary to move in with your parents or see each other every day, but it is important that the mother feels supported and important in her daughter's life. Not everyone consults about some important decisions, but you should still inform your parents. If possible, it is worth attracting them into your life, trusting the upbringing of your own children, at least for a few days. You can also come to them for holidays or call more often. Perhaps for the daughter, these calls will be just routine minutes of conversation, but for the mother, these are priceless minutes that she may be waiting for all day.
Errors . Most conflicts on the part of daughters are based on the realization of the mistakes that the mother made. Their isolation and dispute on this basis causes a deterioration in relations. To avoid this or to fix existing problems, you need to understand that every adult is prone to make mistakes and the mother is no exception. Perhaps she still regrets some, but does not want to admit, so as not to devalue herself in the eyes of her daughter. This situation leads to a dead end if each of them does not want to understand the other. If the daughter tries to realize that everyone has the right to make mistakes, and takes her mother's life as a model, she will be able to avoid many troubles. This is why parents lead by example. It is better to learn from the mistakes of others than from your own.

Psychologist's advice on building relationships for mothers

Due to their authority and seniority, many conflicts are provoked by mothers. They speculate on their rich life experience and thus gain the upper hand in the dispute, but this is not the right solution. At the stage, while the child is under the parental roof, he will obey, and the last word remains with the mother.

But later this is reflected in the behavior of an already adult daughter. After leaving her parents' house and starting her own independent life, it will be more difficult to control it in the same way as before. In addition, the lack of effective methods for resolving conflict situations will worsen the relationship between mother and daughter.

In order to build a difficult mother-daughter relationship, the first should follow a few tips:

Understanding . This point is very similar to the advice for daughters. In this case, mothers must understand that their children did not grow up in the world in which they were brought up. Modernity has left a noticeable imprint, thereby distinguishing them from their mothers. Therefore, before setting your own requirements and defining expectations from your daughter, you need to take into account cultural and age differences. Be sure to show patience and understanding of the world in which the daughter lives, and in no case should you impose your stereotypes.
Respect . All decisions that were made by the daughter cannot be dismissed as categorically unacceptable. One can only advise on the appropriateness of a particular act. A common mistake mothers make is not recognizing their daughter's independence. Her decisions are criticized as insufficiently balanced, and most do not perceive their children as those who can independently move forward, solve life's problems and cope with difficulties.
Criticism . Especially at a younger age, criticism of the daughter's actions is remembered very well. It is categorically impossible to completely criticize the style of behavior, preferences in food, clothing and choice of guys. In any situation, a mother should separate herself as an independent person who will not always be able to fully understand the actions of another, even if it is her daughter. Criticism leaves a negative bitter aftertaste that will form unpleasant memories that may affect future relationships with the mother.
Help . In the adult life of a daughter, there will always be many things to do, problems and worries. It would be wrong to demand attention and respect from her, the care of children is necessary only when it is really inevitable. Sometimes parents abuse the fact that children have to look after them and force them to do so in order to be closer. There are other methods for this. In order to get closer to your daughter, you can simply offer her help. Surely, even at this age, mother is able to look after her grandchildren for some time so that her daughter can calmly take a break from a busy life. So she will be much closer to her mother, as required. In addition, the latter will be able to feel needed and even irreplaceable.
General interests . Blood relationship implies the presence of some interests that are common to both the daughter and the mother. To get closer to a child, it is not at all necessary to delve into her world and try to learn modern values, you can find something that is interesting to both, and use this to spend time together.

How to improve the relationship between mother and daughter - look at the video:

If the relationship between mother and daughter is difficult, you can turn to a psychologist. This specialist will help determine individual steps and suggest how to build relationships. The choice of a specific method for solving this problem depends on the case, the nature of the daughter and mother.

Mother - the dearest and closest person for a small child. But already in adolescence, for many children, the relationship with their mother becomes not so cloudless. Today, conflicts and quarrels between a mother and an adult daughter no longer surprise anyone, although they can by no means be called normal. These relations leave a deep imprint in the soul of each of the parties.

At the reception of psychologist mothers often complain about their daughters with the words: “I fed her, dressed her, didn’t sleep at night when she was sick, and she grew up so ungrateful”, daughters, in response to their mother’s reproaches, justify themselves: “No one asked her to give birth, I told her don't owe anything." It's a shame to hear such reproaches from the closest people, isn't it? Didn't mom deserve any respect and gratitude from her daughter?

Of course, not all mothers have the same character, and therefore, with all the desire to call all mothers kind and affectionate, it would be wrong. Mothers are as different as their adult children. But only those women whose parents abused alcohol or left them in an orphanage can argue that mothers did not care for them and did not love them in childhood. We will not talk about them in this article, especially since children hardly want to call them mothers.

Unfortunately, the relationship daughter with mother , who gave her whole soul to raise her happy and prosperous, does not always add up to trusting and friendly. In many well-to-do families, mother and daughter speak "different languages". It is customary to single out the following types of relationships between daughter and mother:

1. Mother and daughter are friends . The main role in the formation of friendly and warm relations between two native women belongs to the mother. If a mother perceives her daughter as an independent woman and understands that she has grown up and no longer needs her guardianship, then she develops very close family relations with her daughter. In this case, the daughter treats her mother as her best friend. She discusses with her all her problems and tells her secrets.

Mother , in turn, also rejoices in her successes and tries to help her in everything, without requiring her financial assistance and care for her. To achieve such a relationship between a mother and an adult daughter who already has a family of her own, it is best for young people to find their own separate housing. At this stage of growing up, it is better for a daughter to love her mother from a distance. Having your own household, where the daughter is the mistress, and the mother comes only to visit, will help to achieve mutual understanding and respect between two native women.

2. Competition and rivalry . At first glance, the relationship between an adult daughter and a mother who is still pretty and young looking may seem like a union of two sisters, but in fact they are rivals. The first problems of competition between them may arise as early as adolescence, when the daughter is trying to prove her independence. And if a mother has low self-esteem or has any problems with her husband, then this can cause a deterioration in relations with her daughter.

One side female is afraid for her adult daughter, who is getting prettier before her eyes every day, and on the other hand, she herself, without realizing it, feels hidden envy towards her. The only way out of this way of relationship can be a reasonable approach of the mother and her recognition of the attractiveness of her daughter as her own victory. And an adult daughter should be sympathetic to her mother's annoyances, especially if she feels tired and unnecessary to anyone.

3. Cold War . The initiator of the cold relationship between mother and daughter, as a rule, is the latter. Basically, those women whom their parents did not love enough in childhood, or vice versa, refused everything for the sake of their daughter's happiness, do not want to meet and do not communicate with their mother.

Mothers , who have devoted their lives to daughters, raise children who are sure that they are the "navel of the Earth" and everyone else should revolve around them. Not getting what they want or not being able to satisfy their whim, spoiled daughters blame their mother for all their failures. It is very difficult to re-educate adult children and change their attitude towards themselves, so from an early age, pay more attention and effort to raising your daughter.

If mother From birth, devotes a lot of time to communicating with her daughter, teaching her by her own example how to treat mothers and grandmothers, then puzzle over the question: "How to improve relations with your daughter?" she never has to. Don't forget the proverb: "An apple doesn't fall far from an apple." How we treat our parents is how our children treat us. Bad character traits of parents in children are even more pronounced.

Hug your mother more often and take an interest in her life. Listen carefully to all her advice and instructions, showing her that her point of view is very important to you. It is not necessary to agree with her at the same time, analyze her opinion and make your own decision that will be better for you. No need to be offended by parents and even more so to swear at them. All people make mistakes, and mother and daughter should not be enemies all their lives just because one of them once did something wrong. Be above insults and call your mother first!

Every person is strongly dependent on their parents. But in this article I would like to talk specifically about the relationship between mother and daughter. We can say that genetically you consist of mom and dad. And no matter how your life develops, you can’t change it in any way. The influence of the pope is also great, but we will talk about this another time.
As my practice of communication with clients shows, most women have relationship problems with their mother or daughters. Children's and parental grievances, misunderstandings emerge.

The role of a mother in raising her daughter is really enormous.
How the relationship with the mother proceeded in the earliest childhood depends on how a person will relate to the world. For a girl, the image of her mother acquired in infancy is also an image of herself as a woman, as a mother, unconsciously embedded in her memory and automatically embodied in a life scenario.
The perception of the father also depends on the mother, and subsequently the perception of all males. We can say that it is the mother who gives the first permission to love the first man - the father.
It is to daughters that mothers most of all broadcast their views on life, sometimes based on personal experience, which is not at all suitable for a daughter. It is daughters who most often choose their mother's model of behavior with men.
If a mother lays down from childhood that men are dangerous and "want only one thing", then later, this can cause serious problems in relationships with men. Often a woman "marries" a "mother". It depends on family relationships in childhood. People marry those of their parents with whom they most need to work within themselves, whom they need to forgive and accept, overcome or know. This is how we choose life lessons for ourselves, this is how we work on our self.
Mother can lay down life scenarios, and then you may notice that
1. Your partner resembles your mother in their behavior, reactions to your words and actions, or treatment of you.
2. You treat your partner the way your mother treated you.
3. The dynamics of your relationship with your partner is similar to what you observed in childhood between your parents. In doing so, you play the role of your mother or your father. (Both options may indicate that you are following a mother script.)
4. You always choose as a partner a man who, in your opinion, should please (or cause disapproval) of your mother.
5. You get upset if your mother does not approve of your choice. You argue with her to get her to see things from your point of view.
6. et al.
The negative impact of your relationship with your mother on your current life is also indicated by thoughts such as
1. My mother caused me a lot of pain. I can't think about her.
2. My mother always controlled me, not allowing me anything. She always stopped my initiative. I still see how she controls me.
3. My mother is a cold, callous person who didn't care about me. I grew up without her support.
4. My mother betrayed me by letting my father get a divorce.
5. My mother punished me by humiliating me.
6. I'm afraid to repeat my parents' relationship.
7. My mother didn't/doesn't love me.
8. I have a difficult relationship with my mother.
9. My mother and I never understood each other.
10. etc.
Mothers often also broadcast "self-fulfilling prophecies" to their daughters:
- no one will marry someone like you,
- you can't do anything,
- you don't understand anything in men,
- you are easy to deceive and others.
At the same time, you are half your mother. In a huge part of you, you are her. You look at her - you look at yourself, even if you think you are completely different from her. You don't love and you don't accept her - you don't love and you don't accept yourself. You cut off huge pieces from yourself with your own hands, giving up your feminine strength and capabilities.
Starting to accept your mother, you take a step towards yourself. You begin to love, understand and accept yourself. You begin to love, understand and accept the people around you and your loved ones. And then relationships with the opposite sex and with children change. You begin to treat yourself with more love and respect, and others around you feel it.
It may seem that all this is too simple, but in fact, it is very difficult to analyze and understand your relationship with your mother on your own. In order to help you deal with this problem better and faster, the Daughter-Mother training was developed.
The most difficult thing is always to take the first step towards working on yourself, towards building your more successful life. I wish you great success along the way!

Good day dear reader. In one of the articles it was written about the importance of . In the same article, I want to consider the problematic relationship between daughter and mother. It is very wonderful when mother and daughter communicate well, when the mother is the best friend for her child.

But sometimes it happens that in childhood, mother and daughter got along, found a common language, but when the daughter grows up, problems and misunderstandings appear. All this develops into a negative relationship between two kindred spirits.

The relationship between a mother and an adult daughter becomes like a relationship between two hostile people. In the house, disputes begin over trifles, over trifles. As a result, the mother’s health deteriorates, and the teenager decides that the way out of the situation is either to leave home or get married.

So my daughter's search for her beloved begins, and it's good if everything ends well. But often the result of such a "protest" is an unplanned pregnancy. Even without a father. As a result, the daughter comes home, but since she has no one to talk and consult with, she doesn't know what to do, what to do .

We often see the result on TV or read in the newspapers: babies found in "garbage bins", an increased number of abortions, which negatively affects health.

I gave the worst consequences of a bad relationship between daughter and mother. It can also be mentioned that the daughter simply does not do everything the way her mother wants: she talks rudely in the house, does not respond to any comments and advice. But in the end, the result is the same - the mother loses family relations with her blood.

I hope you understand that the relationship between mother and daughter should always be positive. After all, when you go into conflict with a child, you thereby increase the number of problems for yourself , and, besides, you create unfavorable conditions for the development of your daughter.

But it seems to me that this is not what you wish for your beloved daughter. I would like to think that I nevertheless convinced you that the relationship between two girls in a family should be the best.

Conflict relations between daughter and mother: is there a way out of the situation?

Most often, bad relationships between mother and daughter grow up because the mother does not perceive her daughter as an adult . Mom from childhood takes the position of the mother - that is, the main one and this cannot be discussed in any way.

At the slightest attempt by her daughter to show independence, she begins to resent. Also, the impetus for the development of this problem is the misunderstanding of the mother that all people are different, and her child is no exception.

It's not a secret for anyone that very often parents try to fashion out of their child what they want or what they themselves could not achieve. And they forget that this destroys the full potential of their children. You can also mention that children think in a completely different way than parents. After all, they grow up and are brought up in a completely different time, not in the one in which their parents were brought up.

What to do to maintain a close relationship with your daughter

Probably enough examples to draw conclusions about the reasons for the bad relationship between mother and daughter. After analyzing these examples and a few more that I have not mentioned, we can identify several rules, using which it is possible to prevent or eradicate bad relations between relatives:

From childhood, try to become not only a mother for your daughter, but also a best friend;
Do not forget that each person is a person with his own independent outlook on life;
Always remember that there are no ideal people, each of us has his own disadvantages and advantages;
Do not try to impose your opinion and your behavior;
Respect your daughter's opinion, even if it is wrong.

Here are some basic tips for avoiding a bad relationship with your girlfriend. For those who still have this situation not in the best way, there is one piece of advice: hide your pride to hell and don't make things worse.

Try to come to a mutual understanding by all means available. After all, the fact that you are trying to insist on your own will eventually lead you to the fact that your daughter will stop communicating with you. Take a look around - for sure among your friends you will definitely find such an example.

Someone will think: “But what about the daughter herself, because she is also to blame?”. I hasten to upset you. A bad relationship with the mother is the result of improper upbringing. Accordingly, it is not her fault, but the mother's . And it is up to the mother to solve this problem if she wants to be the most beloved person for her child.

Understanding the process of growing up a daughter for any mother is perceived as the fact that her participation in the life of the child is no longer necessary. The fact that the child has grown up a long time, not everyone can accept.

But even for a daughter who perceived her mother as something integral to life, cutting the invisible umbilical cord can be an overwhelming task. Especially if the relationship was close and trusting.

In order for common grievances between mother and adult daughter not to become overwhelming for both parties, you will have to go through several stages of relationships that will help change the situation for the better.

A few rules that will help you solve problems:

Important to remember! Only the understanding of the problem, where the mother and adult daughter do not find a common language, will be the starting point on the way to its resolution. Of course, it is impossible to find a compromise solution, only thanks to one sincere conversation. There is a long way to go to meet. This applies to both parties.

Adolescent mother-daughter relationship

Transitional age is a difficult period in the life of parents and children. Dealing with emotions can sometimes seem like a daunting task. How should a mother behave so as not to lose trust and authority in the eyes of her daughter?

Mother and adult daughter. The psychology of the relationship between them can be quite complex.

Unconditional love

A little girl from an early age should know and understand that she is loved by anyone and always . Very often, parents who are overprotective of their daughter end up with a completely out of control child in adolescence.

Which female figures are most liked by men and why.

And, on the contrary, in families with strict morals, girls grew up with a victim complex, confident that love for oneself must be earned. In adulthood, it is not easy for such women to find a worthy man, since the understanding of unconditional love is alien to them.

Full communication

Due to their employment, not all parents are able to devote all their time to the child. In adolescence, a daughter, deprived of parental attention, is unlikely to share the details of her "adult" life.

In order to keep abreast of all the events in the midst of which the child rotates, the mother must communicate with him more often. Warm conversations in the kitchen over a cup of tea about how the day went should become a family tradition.

The task of a mother is to develop her daughter's individuality without imposing her ideals on her.

Important to understand! The main purpose of such communication for the mother should not be to find out all the secrets and impose her opinion on the daughter. You need to learn to listen and hear your child.

General traditions

More before the onset of "difficult age" you need to take care of creating common traditions of mother and daughter . Perhaps it will be cooking a family dinner on a day off, a trip out of town, a trip to a cafe or a beauty salon. The main thing is that these traditions belong only to mother and daughter and are not violated under any pretext.

Housekeeping

It is quite difficult to involve a teenager in household chores, because it is much more interesting to spend time with friends than washing dishes and cleaning. Therefore, it is important to instill these skills in a girl from childhood. Let him learn to put things in order in his room from early childhood.

Cooking

It can also be an interesting activity, if, for example, its performance will be of a competitive nature. The competition "who has the tastier" will be useful for all family members : both mom and daughter will spend time together, and dad is happy. You can bake a cake or cookies together and invite your daughter's friends to tea.

Manifestation of individuality

The task of a mother is to develop her daughter's individuality without imposing her ideals on her. Often parents strive to realize personal goals and ambitions. The main goal is to direct the child in the right direction, without breaking the innate individual traits and without encroaching on the personal interests of the daughter .

This does not mean that you should keep your opinion to yourself. It is necessary to warn the growing daughter against possible risks. But this must be done very delicately.

Friends and acquaintances

It is quite natural that the parents do not like the new friends of the daughter very much. But limiting this communication means that the mother will soon fall out of the circle of trust. The best thing a loving parent can do is try to connect with her daughter's new acquaintances. .

In most cases it turns out that these people do not pose any threat to the child. Otherwise, you must contact the relevant authorities.

Kindness and mercy

A common situation: a child brings home a small animal offended by fate and stumbles upon a wall of misunderstanding on the part of his parents. If you support care for your neighbor in your daughter from childhood, then there is no doubt that an adult woman with a big kind heart will grow out of her.

Difficult relationship between an adult daughter and mother. Psychology

Mother and adult daughter may be in an impeccably harmonious relationship or openly hostile, but these relationships are almost never neutral. Mother perceives her daughter as an extension of herself and if the daughter always criticizes, then this, as a rule, symbolizes the mother's dissatisfaction with herself.

The same applies to the reverse situation. If an adult daughter constantly reproaches her mother for something, then rather this is an indicator of insolvency in life. It is easier to blame than to take on the entire burden of responsibility. Usually this behavior is inherent in immature personalities.

Psychologists distinguish 3 stages of a daughter's relationship with her mother:

be there;
let me go;
leave me alone.

Typical mistakes in relationships:

Otherwise, when the daughter blindly follows her mother's instructions, the mother begins to demand that her daughter think about marriage. At the same time, potential applicants are also selected by the mother. It remains for the daughter to either accept this or stop her mother's attempts to participate in this process.

These and other situations haunt the grown-up daughter, exerting a powerful influence on her life and outlook. In addition, such an attitude brings discord in the relationship of the two closest people.

When communication is reduced to the fact that the mother reproaches or imposes her point of view through moralizing, it becomes impossible.

And here for the daughter there are several ways to solve the situation:

Also, if the previous attempts were unsuccessful, then perhaps the mother simply was not ready for such a conversation at that time . Perhaps what her child said hurt her and made her think about her mistakes, Don't put pressure on her.

In the end, the problem should be solved by the one who feels the whole burden of it. Perhaps some act of the mother, which still haunts her daughter, was justified by the fact that at that moment she simply could not do otherwise. The mother must be accepted as she is and you should not try to change her.

If it seems that the mother does not love her daughter. What are the causes and symptoms

The portrait of a girl deprived of motherly love is quite typical. They are inconspicuous and have a timid character. Communication skills are absent, as a result of which they do not find an outlet in friendships. As a rule, such children are from dysfunctional families.

In some cases, such daughters are raised by women who have achieved some success in the professional and financial spheres, but have absolutely no interest in their children.

Indirect signs indicating that the mother does not love her daughter:

unwillingness to participate in daughter's life;
imposing a sense of duty to the parent;
detached, cold attitude of mother to daughter;
aggression, possibly assault.

It is impossible to re-educate an adult personality or instill maternal instinct in a woman who does not have it. So there are two ways out of this situation: either the daughter accepts her mother as she is and leaves attempts to change her, or it is worth strictly limiting communication.

The portrait of a girl deprived of motherly love is quite typical. They are inconspicuous and have a timid character.

What does a mother's hateful attitude towards her daughter lead to:

isolation and complexes of the daughter;
lack of manifestation of feminine traits;
self-doubt and self-doubt;
lack of desire to become a mother.

Authoritarian mother and daughter - psychology

A separate case in the relationship between mother and adult daughter and their psychology - authoritarian parent. Such mothers are confident in their own exclusivity and demand from their daughters the fullest conformity to them. The slightest offense is identified with one's own behavior. Therefore, the daughters of such mothers have no right to make a mistake.

Lack of emotional connection between mother and daughter.
Total control over her daughter's behavior, constant imposition of her point of view and behavior.

Such a mother is not at all interested in the child's inner world . There are no age limits for an authoritarian mother. In childhood, she may not pay attention to the experiences of her own child, since the problem does not exist for her.

For her, the situation looks far-fetched, while in the eyes of a little girl the whole world is collapsing.

Later the situation takes on a different character - the mother controls her daughter at all stages of development and in all spheres of life. She requires her daughter to be constantly in touch, kept up to date with all her affairs. At the same time, the parent makes adjustments to her life, because "I am a mother, I know better. "

Please note! There is a difference between an authoritarian mother and an authoritative one. There is nothing reprehensible in the fact that a parent in the eyes of a child is an authority. On the contrary, such mothers grow strong-willed, self-confident daughters, as they had an example in front of them, an indicator of what a woman should be.

To understand the seriousness of the situation an authoritarian mother must look at herself from the outside and urgently change her behavior strategy . Otherwise, the result of such upbringing will be a lethargic, lack of initiative adult daughter.

Or, if it was not possible to break the character, then the daughter, in the end, will stop any communication with such a mother.

The first thing a mother who has recognized signs of authoritarianism in her behavior can do is take care of herself . Having a favorite pastime will reduce the time for correcting the behavior of your child.

It is necessary to change the strategy of behavior. For example, instead of the usual reproaches about the daughter's "wrong" behavior, try to support and accept her decision. It may not be superfluous to give practical advice, but it should not take the form of a reproach or instruction.

Finally, you need to give your daughter the right to make possible mistakes and find ways to resolve them . To do this, you can take the position of an outside observer.

For a daughter, the best way to deal with her mother's authoritarianism is to take full responsibility for her own life. From now on, all decisions should be made by the daughter on her own, even if they run counter to the mother's ideas. This also applies to liability for possible consequences.

To shift them to the mother means to hand over to her the reins of the daughter's life.

It is necessary to set up an invisible barrier, and in any attempt of the mother to impose her model of behavior, do not respond to her moralizing. You can try to talk and discuss the current situation, but prepare in advance for the fact that the mother is unlikely to adequately perceive the experiences of her daughter.

It is better to react to all her arguments calmly and neutrally, without trying on reproaches, so the daughter will make it clear that it will not be possible to piss off the mother. This behavior will help avoid scandal and also reduce the likelihood of similar attacks in the future.

Relationship between mother and adult daughter after marriage

Mother and adult daughter after marriage run the risk of being on both sides of the barricades. For a parent, accepting the fact that her little girl has grown up and no longer needs her mother's care is unbearable in itself.

A mother who is used to instructing her child, sharing experience and teaching, now has to watch her child as if from a distance.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that after the wedding, the beloved daughter spends the vast majority of time with her young spouse, because of which the mother begins to acutely feel the lack of precious attention from her daughter. In this case, the newly-made son-in-law is perceived with hostility.

In order to get out of the current situation and not spoil relations, both parties must make some concessions.

How to behave as a mother

How to behave properly as a daughter

Try to find a common language with the son-in-law . The young spouse should not be perceived as an enemy or a threat. By virtue of the fact that he was chosen by his daughter, he already deserves respect. All people are not without flaws, so it is better if the daughter notices them on her own during living together, and not with the help of intrusive explanations from her mother.

Do not abuse communication . In order for the mother not to be prejudiced against her husband, you should not tell her about all the family troubles. Thus, the daughter will only spur a negative attitude towards her own husband.

Do not be intrusive .

Everything related to household issues and advice on childcare and housekeeping is best expressed carefully. Perhaps the daughter does not feel an urgent need for the active participation of the mother in this matter. Naturally, help will not be superfluous, but it is important to maintain a balance and not go ahead.

Get help . It is important for a daughter to understand that all her mother's attempts to help her are sincere. You need to learn to accept help and not forget about the response.

Find a hobby . Since the mother has a lot of free time, the best thing to do with it is to spend it for the benefit of yourself.

Respect the privacy of the mother . It is not necessary to demand help from the mother at the first need. An adult daughter must understand that life has changed not only for her.

Learn to trust . It is better to change the behavior model from “parental” to “friendly”.
