Moms are eager for tips and wisdom to help them build strong relationships with their daughters, and Kari Kampakis's \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLove Her Well\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e gives them ten practical ways to do so, not by changing their daughters but by changing their own thoughts, actions, and mind-set.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 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 \u003cem\u003eLove Her Well\u003c\/em\u003e, Kari shares ten ways that moms can better connect with their daughters in a challenging season, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003echoosing their words and timing carefully, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elistening and empathizing with her teen's world, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eseeing the good and loving her for who she is, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etaking care of themselves and having a support system, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-8106254\"\u003eKari Kampakis\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Nelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780785234180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0785234187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL012160\"\u003eChristian Living | Parenting\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL012030\"\u003eChristian Living | Family \u0026amp; Relationships\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FAM\"\u003eFamily \u0026amp; Relationships\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FAM032000\"\u003eParenting | Motherhood\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thomas Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42700902269165,"sku":"9780785234180","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_fb86980d-ff84-4692-b776-eb022092156e.jpg?v=1649941565","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/love-her-well-10-ways-to-find-joy-and-connection-with-your-teenage-daughter-9780785234180","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
