The Mother-Daughter Project: How Mothers and Daughters Can Band Together, Beat the Odds, and Thrive Through Adolescence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780452289161)

Few things are more meaningful--or more complicated--than mother-daughter relationships. This helpful parenting guide helps moms navigate their relationships with their daughters to create strong ties and a close, respectful connection that will last a lifetime.

SuEllen Hamkins, MD, and Ren e Schultz, MA, originally created the Mother-Daughter Project with other women in their community in the hopes of strengthening their bonds with their then seven-year-old girls. The group met regularly to speak frankly about such issues as friendships and aggression, puberty, body image, drugs, and sexuality.

The results were amazing: confident, assertive teenage girls with strong self-images and close ties to their moms. Equally important, the mothers navigated their own concerns about adolescence with integrity and grace.

From their dedication and efforts arose The Mother-Daughter Project, an incredibly useful parenting handbook that details the success of the Project's groundbreaking model, providing mothers with a road map for staying close with their own daughters through adolescence and beyond.
