- Expectations. Contemporary cultures have a number of conflicting expectations for mothers and daughters. In some, daughters are expected to be submissive to and always respectful of their mothers’ desires, while in others, young women are expected to move away from their mothers’ influence and develop their own independent goals and interests.
- Mutual Respect. Following closely on the heels of expectations, mutual respect means accepting that there are things about your mother or daughter that you appreciate.

Being heard and accepted is one of our greatest needs in relationships, says Kate Fish, licensed marriage and family therapist and owner of Graceful Therapy in Oswego, Illinois. “When your daughter is opening up and sharing, be open-minded and nonjudgmental as much as possible.

As often as you can, take your daughter’s side. This can improve a mother-daughter relationship over time as she learns to trust and rely on you. “There are plenty of other people out in the world that can play devil’s advocate. What we need more than a naysayer is someone to validate our experience and make us feel supported,” says Fish.
Reflective listening involves paying special attention to the content and feelings your daughter is expressing when she talks. It’s about being emotionally availableand letting the other person know they are understood. “Show her that you’re listening and attuned by reflecting back what she is saying as she speaks,” says Fish.
While the role of a mother can be about guiding and teaching, as your daughter becomes an adult, it’s important to allow her to also share knowledge with you, Fish says. “Be open to learning new things from your daughter as a way of reminding her that you are in a two-way relationship and not just there to form her,” she says.
Connecting also requires disconnection. If you don’t ever spend time apart, Fish says, you may become unable to appreciate time together. Depending on your relationship, taking a few days or weeks off from seeing or talking with each other can help make the time you reconnect even better.
