If you're the mother of a little girl, adolescent or full-blown teenage daughter, this blog is for you.
This will be a place where the joys, challenges, fears and frustrations that come with being a mom of a daughter in a culture done crazy will be addressed. My passion is to encourage and equip moms who are on the emotional and often overwhelming journey of taking their little girls from childhood to adolescence and the turbulent teen years to come out fairly unscathed and still loving each other in the end :)
My experience comes from being immersed in the world of teenage girls and their moms in my thirteen years with Focus on the Family's Brio Magazine as well as co-founding and speaking at Closer: Moms and Daughters conferences. I've counseled and encouraged hundreds of moms and teen girls as they work to maintain a strong and healthy relationship through the trials and stresses of the teenage years.
I've co-authored two books on Mother/Daughter Relationships, Here For You, Forming a Mother/Daughter Bond That Lasts a Lifetime, and What Your Daughter Isn't Telling You (Bethany House Publishers). I was also a contributing author to Bloom, A Girl's Guide To Growing Up (published by Focus on the Family). You can also catch my Mother's Day podcast on what moms want from their adult children at www.boundless.org to be posted on May 5th.
I've traveled the world - virtually every continent, including Antarctica - but my biggest accomplishment has been having successfully raised a once emotional and hormonal adolescent girl who is now a lovely and confident young woman who still loves her mother. What I've learned from personal experience as a mom who's been there and years of ministry to real moms and daughters around the nation will hopefully encourage and equip you on your journey with your daughter.
The good news is . . . the emotional and hormonal adolescent and teenage years are TEMPORARY! It's one season of your daughter's life and you WILL get through it. Not only can you survive the teen years with your daughters but make them some of the best years of your lives.
So I hope you join me here I share with you what I've learned over the years about the joys and fears of raising a daughter in today's world.
If you're feeling like you're doing it all wrong and might be losing her, I promise you're not alone. The journey will be both sweet and sour but in the end worth every tear and every frantic prayer.
Until next time . . .
