Mother Daughter Relationship Tips: How to Build Better Communication

Here are some useful techniques to make your relationship stronger and help your daughter grow emotionally:

  1. Listen carefully

One of the easiest and most effective ways to improve your relationship with your mother is to really listen. Listen to your daughter when she talks, pay full attention. Do not let her feel like you’re not attentive or feel that you’re avoiding her. 

Don’t talk with other people, look them in the eye and put your phone aside. Girls mostly just need to share her things and talk about how they feel without getting advice, solutions or any answers right away.

  2. Make a safe space  to talk

Creating a safe place for your daughter to talk is really important.

Assure her that you’re listening to her, respecting her point of views and love her the way she is. Trusting each other helps to make bonds stronger and comfortable.

   3. Make sure about her feelings

You don’t have to agree with everything that your daughter says but  show respect for her point of view and teach her how things should be politely. If you shout at her, she’ll never share her things or her feelings. Assuring her by saying things like “ I understand you and why you feel that way” or “ it’s okay to feel upset but don’t take it that much which affects you” could help them to become stronger and can share with you anything. 

   4. Be honest and open

Kids learn by watching others.  Tell your daughter how you feel (in a way that is suitable, of course) to help her learn how to do the same.  If you’re upset or agitated, tell the person why and how you deal with it.  This helps you become more conscious of your feelings.

  5. Have fun together

Having fun together doesn’t mean you always have to spend time with family on travels , going out. You can also have fun by cooking together, going on walks, talking before going to bed or doing other things that she likes are all small things that might help you to have deeper talks with your daughter and a good bond with her. Make her feel like you’re always available for her.

 6. Show kids how to fix things

When things go wrong, have your daughter help you come up with ways to fix them.  Help her figure out what’s wrong, talk about her choices, and help her make a choice.  This makes you feel better about yourself and provides you greater strength.

 7. Speak Positively

The way you talk affects how your kid views herself.  Instead of harsh criticism, give helpful input.  Praise bravery, effort, and kindness.  Girls’ self-esteem and emotional strength grow when they hear good things.

  8. Give her space and privacy.

Girls like their independence and want to be independent as they grow. Just trust her and keep in touch with her, take updates from her of her life . Conversation is the key to making a good bond.   Trust and direction should be in balance.  This balance is very important for raising girls through their teens.
