Love, Nurture, and a Little Dysfunction

No matter how great the intentions or how purposeful the parenting, our daughters will always have something quirky, different, and unique about them. There will be moments when they blame that strangeness on their life's crisis and there will be moments when they are more than grateful for it because of who it fashioned them to be. 


This weekend, talk to your daughters about what they're feeling about life at the moment. Start by asking simple questions like, do you feel you're doing well in school these days? Or, how are your friends doing? 


You want to know about them, but they'll be less hesitant to answer when the question is indirect. Then end with asking her how you can pray for her specifically this coming week. Big test? Boyfriend? Crush? Friend drama? Fears? Worries? 


Then let her talk. 


You can do it mama! Your daughter wants more of you than she may let on. Make yourself available this weekend.
