The Mother Daughter Connection Building A Lifelong Bond With Your Daughter

by Susie Shellenberger

The Mother Daughter Connection is a book designed to help mothers form intimate, working relationships with their daughters by giving mothers an insider's view of their daughters' thoughts and feelings. The editor of Brio magazine for girls and a veteran youth expert, Susie Shellenberger helps mothers understand the angst and confusion teen girls feel when coping with such issues as body image, fashion envy, dating, fear of failure, and sharing one's faith. With creative questions, conversation starters, and diary entries, mothers are given the tools to not only help their daughters, but also to learn the "stuff they gotta know" to help their daughters survive the teenage years.

Reviews

[Kevyn]

The Mother Daughter Connection is about a mother raising her daughter in the Christian faith. I don't like this book because i don't think it is fit for my age group. i think this book would be more fit for an actual mother in her 30's or 40's because the ideas the author suggest seem to sensible. But for mothers or older women this book would make more sense and be more enjoyable to read.
