What is Nurturing Girls?
Nurturing Girls was developed as a way for moms of girls to find support and education about adolescence and how they can navigate it with their daughters while maintaining a connection. Many of my clients in my therapeutic practice come to me when their daughters start puberty or enter adolescence because they find that the old ways of parenting just don't work anymore and they are at a loss. Moms don't understand how they could have been so close to their daughters and now they struggle with finding ways to connect and communicate with her like they used to. On top of that, the discipline that used to work is getting push back and it often leads to battles at home.
In order to reach a larger group of moms, I decided to move to a coaching format, to help moms and daughters understand some of the core components of what might be happening and how they might even be contributing to some of the challenges without realizing it. Instead of therapy, most moms and daughters just need someone to coach them through the process. Someone to be their guide and mirror while they navigate the sometimes rocky waters of the teen years. We do this together through...
Education
There is no "What to expect" book for this stage. Providing moms and daughters the gift of knowledge about how their brain and body impact their lives during this time is crucial in the process.
Reflection
Learning tools for self reflection and then sharing them with your daughter is not only a gift for your relationship but one that she will use in her own life moving forward.
Coaching
Working with someone to assist you demystify her behavior and actions, as well as your own, is often very helpful.
Collaboration
Finding ways to collaborate with your parenting partner as well as your daughter often is a missing piece in relationships that can make a big difference in rebalancing them to harmony and calm.
