A Mother would be a person who loves her child selflessly and would gladly opt to be the bank for her child’s hurts and worries. The relationship between Mother and a daughter can be mended according to personal priorities. But then a healthy relationship between them depends on the initiatives either one takes to handle problems and share happy moments every single day.

Most Women are generally taught that a healthy relationship with the generations above and below them is an important aspect of their familial role, comparatively more than men. Hence the same characteristics are put to practice in the relationship of a Mother and daughter. In this relationship there are a few things that should be kept in mind by both of them in order to keep a healthy relationship going amongst them.

Mother’s Initiative – A mother has comparatively less problems bonding with her daughter when she is little than when she turns a teenager. Teenage daughters tend to get rebellious and always feel the necessity for Moms to listen more than preach. At this juncture, Mothers should take the time out to listen and make sense of what their daughters are demanding for. Every Mother wants her daughter to be perfect, but at the same time she should also expect realistic achievements and avoiding pushing the daughter to her farthest limits. Being quick to resolve conflicts is another key aspect a Mother should take charge off. She should make sure the damage is mended as quickly as possible but at the same she should also not be in a hurry to solve issues on hand. One more vital requirement is to set balanced boundaries and limitations in such a way that daughters do not feel caged but then still realise the reasons behind the set boundaries and abide by them willingly.

Daughter’s duties – Just like Mothers, daughters also have their duties and contributions towards a healthy relationship. Daughters should understand the reason behind the boundaries set and should go ahead and discuss the barriers they think should not exist. They should also realize that their Mothers are women too and have their own priorities in life other than just caring and providing for their children. Frequent debates and discussions about generic topics, situations or problems would also put in positivity in the relationship. Last but not the least, daughters should not hesitate to apologize if they are at fault and check in for reasons they think they are being rude to for no reason.

Communication is Key – It can be easily concluded that both Mother and daughter should be keen on communicating their delights, worries and problems and be inclined towards figuring out a quick solution to conflicts faced. Moreover, the earlier both Mother and Daughter accept that they are both grown women and start sharing mutual respect for each other, the conflicts or problems between them, if any would automatically reduce drastically.
