Tools for A Better Mother/Daughter Relationship Part 1
Tools to Strengthen You Mother/Daughter
1. Make the first move.
Don’t wait for the other person to make the first move, . Doing so inevitably leaves relationships stuck. “Think about how you feel in the relationship and what you can do to change.”
2. Change yourself.
Many think that the only way to improve a relationship is for the other person to change their ways. But you aren’t chained to their actions; you can change your own reactions and responses,
3. Have realistic expectations.
Both moms and daughters often have idealistic expectations about their relationship.
4. Communicate.
Lack of communication is a common challenge with moms and daughters. “In some ways they can be so close or feel so close that they believe that each of them should know how the other one feels,”
5. Be an active listener.
Active listening is “reflecting back what the other person is saying,” instead of assuming you already know,
6. Repair damage quickly.
Not resolving conflict can have surprising consequences. “If you don’t deal with your mom by resolving conflict, you’re going to carry those same patterns into your future relationships,”
“Working it out with your mom,” is “the best gift you can give to your daughter,”
7. Put yourself in her shoes.
Empathy is “widening the lens.” If you’re a daughter, think of your mom as a woman with her “own wounds and hurts,” who was born and raised in a different generation with different values and difficult family relationships and issues.

great speech.
I really needed to hear this actually, thank you for the hints!
Groomed much? It is why these children are not maturing to full potential.
Hey There, It's Borhan here! I'm a huge fan of your "Kathy Cunningham" TH-cam channel. Your content is always top-notch, and I can see the passion and effort you pour into each video. I believe you have incredible potential to reach an even wider audience with a solid TH-cam strategy. I would love to schedule a short meeting with you to discuss how I can help you grow your channel faster. This is not a sales call, but an opportunity to share ideas and offer assistance. Let me know if you're interested, and we can find a convenient time to chat. Thanks for your time and for creating such amazing content.
Or how about you’re a liar and I hate all liars. That and I love you but I sure don’t like you right now is what I’m familiar with.
If I bring up something that hurt me, and my parents immediately deny or deflect, there is no letting go. I own my mistakes. All of them. If my parents genuinely refuse to own ANY of theirs, they will not be forgiven. Children are always told "let go of your blame". Parents are never told "own your mistakes".
Good advice.
Thank you!!! I needed this advice!
Thank you. Very insightful. 😊
Thank you…
I was a very young mother and I would just like to hear my adult children say that they know I always done my best for them.I know I always tried but to know that they seen my efforts would make me feel validated in some way. I have close relationships with all three and maybe that should be enough and it is but that unsure young mom wants to know she was enough.
as an adult child who’s largely left the faith I was ready to cringe but this was good advice, thanks for putting it out there
Your welcome! I had to learn this the hard way but it is the best and really only way if we want healthy, good relationships . Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Love this! No one ever changed their behavior because any other human made them feel judged, disliked, or any other negative emotion.
Thank you! Absolutely!!
or just don't have kids.
What is an adult child..
❤🎉 AMEN TO THAT 🙏💞❤️💕💞.😊
❤Thank you
💋
Amen.
This is actually amazing I wish more mothers could be like/have the same mindset as you! Your a great role model to other mothers out there.❤
😢 treat us like actual functional adults? What? This hit hard. Struggling with my incredibly well intentioned but oblivious mom. Words like I love you are wonderful but actions speak louder. Thank you for this.
constantly staying busy thank you
stay calm 🦌 don't allow 🦙 e~motions to overtake (you) appearance of inner confidence .. that God will work things out
This is definitely a video to meditate and learn from!!!! Thanks for your help.
I experienced this with someone I've known my whole life! I got to the point where I had to completely distance myself from her.
Thank you for your encouragement, Kathy! You help me so much and I'm so grateful for you! Sending you hugs! Love you and hope you have a beautiful day! 💙🙏 Love, Rachel Van Nice
Love you, Kathy! Thankful for you. I honestly do learn so much from you! Grateful for all that you do and for sharing your wisdom and insight! I feel like I have grown closer to God since I started watching and reading your content! You have such a loving and caring heart! Keeping you and your family in my prayers and thoughts! Love you and wish I could give you a hug! You inspire me, Kathy! Hope you and your family are doing wonderful!💙🙏 Love, Rachel Van Nice
She describes Leftist.
It appears that way because you are looking from codependency, not self-awareness.
Omg all these behaviours are in me 😢
Uff, my ex So long ago I’m so happy now 🙏🏼
❤Thank you for this positive message.
🪞 🚨 6/9 (perspective)
Why do we feel responsible for others and want to fix everything?
Because it was either modeled for us or we were put in a position of responsibility that should not have been ours, especially at an early age🙏
Kathy why is it scary or difficult for us to move into the red zone? What can we be doing in the stretch zone to help us get to the red? And What can we experience when we do?
Because it feels uncomfortable, and we don’t like discomfort. But we are always going to have to feel uncomfortable to grow.
Thank you
The grass isn't greener on the other side. It's greener where you water it
Yeah my problem is going out by myself and meeting new people is outside my comfort zone. If I have a friend with me it's in my stretch zone. But I have to meet people by myself to make friends first.
Shut up
That's deep 😢
No
Does this include being in a marriage where the spouse does not love you?
What they say..."You need to stop taking everything so personal"... What they mean..."Let me continue being rude and elevating myself"😮
Christians are no better than Muslims and Jews. Just be quiet and keep your books to yourselves. After all they are written by humans to control humans.
Seriously
Your kind of right and kind of wrong,stopping to listen is Christian ,so is being thankful,often there are no answers to tell ? Yes people use platitudes to blow people off,but let’s not through the baby out with the bath water
There is a time and place for quoting scripture after listening, empathizing and just being there. Timing is everything!❤️
thank you
I am not religious, but it is nice to see a person who believes in accountability and acknowledgement instead of using religion to dismiss or justify a lack of personal growth or responsibility. It is very important.
Thank you!
🙌🏻 processing 🧠
Sounds like co-dependency…🌈🦋🌻🌲✨
Please stop trying to be the peacemaker for the entire family. Wake up......we were abused. I don't WANT to be reconciled to people that did us harm. Just. Stop.
If you listen to my videos I always have a disclaimer that I am not talking about situations of abuse, addiction or mental health issues.
