Moms are eager for tips and wisdom to help them build strong
relationships with their daughters, and Kari Kampakis's Love Her
Well gives them ten practical ways to do so, not by changing their
daughters but by changing their own thoughts, actions, and
mind-set. For many women, having a baby girl is a dream come true.
Yet as girls grow up, the narrative of innocence and joy changes to
gloom and doom as moms are told, "Just wait until she's a
teenager!" and handed a disheartening script that treats a teenage
girl's final years at home as solely a season to survive. Author
and blogger Kari Kampakis suggests it's time to change the
narrative and mind-set that lead moms to parent teen girls with a
spirit of defeat, not strength. By improving the foundation,
habits, and dynamics of the relationship, mothers can connect with
their teen daughters and earn a voice in their lives that allows
moms to offer guidance, love, wisdom, and emotional support. As a
mom of four daughters (three of whom are teenagers), Kari has
learned the hard way that as girls grow up, mothers must grow up
too. In Love Her Well, Kari shares ten ways that moms can better
connect with their daughters in a challenging season, including:
choosing their words and timing carefully, listening and
empathizing with her teen's world, seeing the good and loving her
for who she is, taking care of themselves and having a support
system, and more. This book isn't a guide to help mothers "fix"
their daughters or make them behave. Rather, it's about a mom's
journey, doing the heart work and legwork necessary to love a
teenager while still being a strong, steady parent. Kari explores
how every relationship consists of two imperfect sinners, and
teenagers gain more respect for their parents when they admit (and
learn from) their mistakes, apologize, listen, give grace, and try
to understand their teens' point of view. Yes, teenagers need rules
and consequences, but without a connected relationship, parents may
never gain a significant voice in their lives or be a safe place
they long to return to. By admitting her personal failures and
prideful mistakes that have hurt her relationships with her teenage
daughters, Kari gives mothers hope and reminds them all things are
possible through God. By leaning on him, mothers gain the wisdom,
guidance, protection, and clarity they need to grow strong
relationships with their daughters at every age, especially during
the critical teen years.
