mum for daughter tips

Here are some simple dos and don'ts for mothers raising daughter

DO:
-Plan a fun outing for just the two of you . She's more likely to open up with no-one else around. Choose an activity that allows you interact, such as pedicres and lunch.
-Offer to help, even if you're rebuffed. The more often you let her know you're available-whether for homework or hair-styling- the more likely she is to take you up on it... eventually
- share some of the same hobbies- and use them as a reason to spend time together.

DON'T:
-Take it personally when she shuts you out. And don't give up trying for fear of being rejected: you never know when you'll catch her at time when she's open to your advice
-Try to be her best friend. This will lead her to expect a life without limits.
-dress like teenagers yourself. Nothing is less cool than a 42-year-old woman dressed like a 15-year-old. Especially when that woman's your mother.
