How to be a friend to your daughter

1) Understand and respect your daughter's temperament and personality. A lot of mother-daughter problems emerge as differences between you and end up as conflicts. If you can't accept the daughter you have, you'll never have the daughter you want!

2) Talk to your daughter every day. In today's times, working moms are both hurried and harried. But no matter, how busy you are , be sure to take time each and every day to listen to your daughter's thoughts and feelings.

3) Don't over-praise or over-criticise her. Many moms think that self-esteem is built thorugh constant praise, but too much extravagant praise that focuses on the product instead of the process will give your child an unrealistic sense of her skills and make her anxious about her next achievement. To raise a confident daughter, who's at ease with herself and her world would try to strike a realistic balance.

4) Express your love for her as often as you can. A daughter who is hugged, held, cuddled and kissed develops good feelings about herself as well as her mom. Never take for granted that your daughter knows you love her - show it!
