JOINT SESSION
“From bottles to bows to boyfriends and everything in between.” It is undeniable that a relationship between a mother and daughter is ever-changing. Little girls tend to look up to their mothers with hope of becoming like them when they grow up. They often rely on their mother for guidance and to do all the fun things that girls enjoy doing. However, it is not uncommon for teenagers to push their parents away, as they are finding their own voice and identity and navigating through life. This sort of change can be overwhelming and oftentimes may leave one feeling like they are misunderstood. I believe that this period is also difficult for the parent who can sense a shift in the relationship with their child; however, they may feel like they do not know how to handle the many sudden changes.
