Mother Daughter Day

With work, homework, soccer practice, ballet, band concerts, and all of the other things that are involved in raising children; life gets very hectic. During this whirlwind of everyday activity, meaningful time however is hard to come by with our growing children. As children get older, it seems even harder to manage an outing with them yet those teen years can be essential time for children to connect with their parents.


Schedule some quality time every few weeks, with that young lady in your life. Plan a fun excursion that will give you both a wonderful memory:

1. Go to a climbing gym with her
2. Take a Cooking workshop together
3. Go meet your local representative or senator
4. Paint ceramics at your local Paint-A-Plate place
5. Go get a pedicure or manicure
6. Take her to a fancy, dress up dinner
7. Go on a bike ride on a nature trail
8. Take your daughter to the theater
9. Go horseback riding
10. Bake some cookies and deliver them to an elderly neighbor
11. Have fun Go Cart Racing

If you do not have a daughter, take a niece or other young relative. The Big Brother Big Sister Program in your area is also a great way to give your time to deserving youth. 

Young girls need a positive role model during these formative years. Middle School and High School years are always a socially awkward time, when a young girl is becoming a young lady.


So put away the ipods, ipads, and text messaging & slow down ~ spend some quality time with your little girl before she grows up on you.  

It will make a difference :)
