Signs Your Daughter Needs You to Get Closer to Her Emotionally

She doesn’t call you very often.

She would rather spend all her time with her friends.

She isn’t opening up to you.

The time you have together is spent arguing about what she’s NOT doing — either NOT focusing enough on homework or NOT calling you enough.

You feel like you are walking on egg shells when you are around her, trying not to say the wrong thing or start the next big fight.

We want so much to feel closer to our daughters and the paradox is, they also want to feel so much closer to us, even if their actions and behaviors don’t look that way.

The relationship skills our daughters require of us are sometimes ones we have never really experienced or learned how to do. And not knowing what to do or how to do it right can have us feeling really stuck, unsure of ourselves, and really afraid to say the wrong thing.

But we also eventually have to say something and then the whole thing explodes and the cycle of conflict starts all over again. It’s so hard not to feel frustrated and defensive!

As a mother, you are truly trying your best. You just don’t know another way.

This time of dynamic really can change and it never is too late.

There really is a way to start getting closer to your daughters and the amazing thing is — growing a real relationship with your daughter that fulfills both of you will absolutely change so many areas of your life.

And not only that- it can truly break generations of patterns around the women in your lineage not feeling like their needs and feelings matter.
