Why A Daughter Needs A Mom Author:Gregory E. Lang Mothers and daughters often see themselves when they look at each other, mothers seeing the child they once were and daughters glimpsing the woman they will likely become. While this can be unsettling at times, it can also be comforting. A daughter needs her mother to tell her the journey from girlhood to womanhood is more exciting than frighten... more »ing and, with the blessing of children and grandchildren, the journey never ends.
In his relationship with his own daughter, Greg Lang admits that while she once was his "playful partner in crime" and "most adoring audience," she now turns to her mother for consolation and understanding. The truth is, "No one understands girls like a mom," Lang writes. This is just one of a hundred reasons he gives for why daughters need their moms.
A mom is a daughter's role model through each stage of life, and wise and fortunate mothers are able to stay one step ahead of their daughters' development along the way. A mother's comfort soothes hurt feelings from playground to prom, from first-job pitfalls to first-pregnancy concerns. There is no substitute for Mom in a daughter's life.
With touching photographs of mothers and daughters from various walks of life, Why A Daughter Needs a Mom will inspire mothers everywhere to empower their daughters to reach their full potential in becoming strong, purposeful, independent women.« less
