Parenting is 80% connection and 20% guidance because until children feel connected they have no reason to follow our guidance. - Dr. Laura Markham
Teens are notorious for pulling away from their parents. It's normal and healthy! Friends are the priority, they're in their rooms more probably on screens, and you’ve totally turned embarrassing as their mom (who knows NOTHING).
You want them to feel confident leaving the nest, but also to maintain a strong relationship with you as their mom.
Parental connection is important because girls who feel connected to their family have better mental health, greater resilience, more fulfilling relationships, and are more likely to follow parental guidance.
So how do we raise connected girls without over-doing it 🤣? I got you!
