Calling All Parents... A Challenge for you!

May 12, 2010

Trying to see it from your daughter’s point-of-view can be difficult. Compromise is key! In one of the chapters of GS we talk about family relationships, the good the bad and the ugly. This chapter starts with a few questions that the girls must answer about their parents… for example:

1. What is your mom’s favorite color
2. What makes your mom/dad really happy?
3. What do you love about your mom/dad?
4. What drives you crazy about them?

These may seem like ridiculous questions, but its a great way to spring board into an honest conversation. My challenge to you is this: Create your own questionnaire and see if you can answer questions about your daughter (basically it will give you a gauge on how well you know her… since they change so quickly). If she agrees to it, have her do the same and sit down and compare notes – this kind of open communication goes a LONG way – even if you don’t feel like you’re making progress, you are.
