As moms, the mind and thought process of our teenage daughters can be frightening, mostly because we were them! We know what it's like to be a teen, to have raging hormones, and fight drama. But our girls need us.
They need us to ask them the tough questions and bring up the complicated subjects because if we don't, someone else will. And the perfect plan of God calls for parents, mothers, to be raising up their children in the ways of the Lord.
So we've laid out some questions we think are awkward but necessary for conversation with your girls. Try one or two this weekend! ~
1. If
you could get me to change ONE of my mom-rules, what would it be?
2. Is
there anything you’ve ever wanted to
ask me, but were afraid to?
3. What do
you think about dating?
4. Do you have a
crush?????
5. What have you heard & what
do you think about Drugs & alcohol?
6. How do you feel when it comes to
talking to me about something “serious” or “sensitive” (like: your body, peer
pressure, etc)? Uncomfortable? – Nervous? –
Okay? – Fearful? – All of the Above?
7. If you could
have ANYTHING what would it be?
8. If you
could escape one feeling for the rest of your life, what would it be?
This Title is very Real..
