Being a mom to daughters is so important. Raising them up to be happy, productive adults is a job in-and-of-itself. I can be a lot of fun, but their will the stresses over time. It is important to remember the end goal. What you want for your daughter’s future, as stated above.
Nurturing them is important. Caring for them. Loving them. Spending time with them. Having fun with them. Talking to them, about the little things and the big things. Stay close, and keep the lines of communication open.
When done properly, even if their is a rift in the relationship when the teen years strike, you will get your daughters back.
- Make a date with your daughter. Once a week, do something with just her. It does not have to cost money.
- Eat dinners together.
- Make meals together.
- Take walks together.
- Find a hobby that you both enjoy.
- Read a book together.
Mother and daughter relationships are special and important. Nurture them always.

Fantastic post. Mother and daughters do need to spend more time together. I want my sister and my mom to spend more quality time together, but it might have to wait until my sister grows a bit more mature, understanding, and an adult.
I would love to see a post on sons spending more time with their moms. I see this as equally important, as there really should be a balance between a leading male and female figure in people’s lives. The time spent doesn’t have to include the same things the daughter and mom does together, but could be playing ball, eating dinner, going for a walk, etc. Anything that connects a mother and her child is a good thing.
