Being heard and accepted is one of our greatest needs in relationships, says Kate Fish, licensed marriage and family therapist and owner of Graceful Therapy in Oswego, Illinois. “When your daughter is opening up and sharing, be open-minded and nonjudgmental as much as possible. Ask questions and allow her to educate you about her experience, even i...
As often as you can, take your daughter’s side. This can improve a mother-daughter relationship over time as she learns to trust and rely on you. “There are plenty of other people out in the world that can play devil’s advocate. What we need more than a naysayer is someone to validate our experience and make us feel supported,” says Fish.
Reflective listening involves paying special attention to the content and feelings your daughter is expressing when she talks. It’s about being emotionally availableand letting the other person know they are understood. “Show her that you’re listening and attuned by reflecting back what she is saying as she speaks,” says Fish.
While the role of a mother can be about guiding and teaching, as your daughter becomes an adult, it’s important to allow her to also share knowledge with you, Fish says. “Be open to learning new things from your daughter as a way of reminding her that you are in a two-way relationship and not just there to form her,” she says.
Connecting also requires disconnection. If you don’t ever spend time apart, Fish says, you may become unable to appreciate time together. Depending on your relationship, taking a few days or weeks off from seeing or talking with each other can help make the time you reconnect even better.

- Expectations. Contemporary cultures have a number of conflicting expectations for mothers and daughters. In some, daughters are expected to be submissive to and always respectful of their mothers’ desires, while in others, young women are expected to move away from their mothers’ influence and develop their own independent goals and interests.
- Mutual Respect. Following closely on the heels of expectations, mutual respect means accepting that there are things about your mother or daughter that you appreciate.
- Respect for Difference. Mothers and daughters often fall into the trap of thinking that they should think and feel the same way — about almost everything!
- Boundaries. One of the areas that mothers and adult daughters often struggle with has to do with recognizing that in adulthood we don’t have the same rights that we had when one of us was a child.
Mothers and Daughters is a 2016 American independent drama film co-directed by Paul Duddridge and Nigel Levy, scripted by Paige Cameron from a concept by Duddridge, about the lives of different mothers and their children.
- Dismissive. “My mother ignored me,” Gwen, 47, confides. “If I did something that I thought would make her proud, she would either dismiss it as insignificant or undercut it in some other way.
- Controlling. In many ways, this is another form of the dismissive interaction although it presents very differently; the key link is that the controlling mother doesn’t acknowledge her daughter any more than the dismissive one does.
- Unavailable. Emotionally unavailable mothers, those who actively withdraw at a daughter’s approach or who withhold love from one child while granting it to another, inflict a different kind of damage.
- Enmeshed. While the first two types of behaviors describe mothers who distance themselves from their children, enmeshment is the opposite: these mothers do not acknowledge any kind of boundary between them, their definition of self, and their children.
