Mothers and Daughters

November of 2005 was my introduction to parenting and the beginning of the Mother-Daughter relationship with our girl. There have been many, many seasons and stages along the way and every one of them has come with new insights. During a past NEST talk, Nicole Sims very clearly walked through the following stages of raising girls:

1. Care and attachment. In this stage your daughter is asking "Am I loved?"
2. Connecting. In this stage she is asking "Can I trust you?"
3. Guidance. In this stage she is asking "Is your world view worth following?"
4. Mentoring. In this stage she is asking "Are you still relevant?"

Listen in HERE as she unpacks those stages and the different roles you have as Mom when it comes to our girls.
