What Daughters Need From Their Mothers?
Since the beginning of time, the roles of me

n and women were clearly defined.

Men were anatomically stronger and the main providers. They would search for food and explore new lands. The role of women was focused on pregnancy, feeding and raising kids, and looking after themselves and other family members.

This distribution of roles was established according to human biological capacities. Men were stronger and expendable so they’d be the ones to leave the safety of the home, while women needed to be protected for their crucial role in the continuation of the species.

Why mother-daughter relationships are important
Mothers would raise their babies, toddlers, and young children in a similar way, nurturing and loving them but also preparing them –emotionally and physically – for adulthood as they grew.

As they grew into men, boys would spend more and more time with male adults, so as to learn from them.

Girls’ relationships with their mothers would grow stronger as they learned life skills, from a young age, to prepare them for their future roles. A strong, healthy relationship between a mother and her daughter would also prepare the girl to become emotionally strong and a self-confident woman.

A good relationship between mothers and daughters has always been an important part of positive learning experiences. For a mother, being a good role model and helping her daughters walk their own journey into adulthood, is also a great responsibility.
