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.

    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".

    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.

    Why do we feel responsible for others and want to fix everything?

    • @Kathycunningham717
      @Kathycunningham717 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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🙏

  • @evettegonzalez6922
    @evettegonzalez6922 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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?

    • @Kathycunningham717
      @Kathycunningham717 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because it feels uncomfortable, and we don’t like discomfort. But we are always going to have to feel uncomfortable to grow.

    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.
