Comment on Six Top Secret Ways To Create A Successful Relationship With Your Girl by Robert Kennedy

Ok, my wife and I are struggling in our marriage. There are situations that have caused arguments between us. My daughters are angry witm me. I try to be a good father, but through personal child history I kinda understand why they are angry. My oldest daughter kinda talks but doesn’t really talk about everyday situations or her feelings. I know that she has self confidence problems. My 12 year old doesn’t really want to speak at all.

How would I go about trying to start conversations with them? What would be a good starter topic? My communication skills are not the best, so this is also a learning process for my self also.

Hi Andrea, We miss you too! Great question. Here are a few quick tips: Talk early and often (once is not enough)…which it sounds like you are beginning to do. Remind your girl that everyone is different and therefore develops at her own pace. The pace that she develops at is the pace just right for her. Use books and other resources to help guide you through this process. Be sure that she understands the information you are sharing and is not more confused, after you speak. Share your own personal experiences when appropriate. There is nothing better than a personal story to connect to. Be a good listener (very important!) and have a sense of humor with it. THis is just another moment when you and your girl get to connect! Keep me posted! Best, Elissa

Hi Elissa-
We miss you! I wanted to say that my girl and I are crossing the bridge and about to talk about puberty! yes she is learning that in health but she needs to hear it form me. Wow what a challenge. I can still rememebr how my mom told me and wellit was somewhat simplified and strange. I just wondered if you had any advice for a mom about to “Have the Talk”

Love all of your ideas! Especially the timer! Some kids need someone in the room to help them with the “energy ” to keep going. You can do your paperwork at the same time too!
