An Excerpt from The Mother-Daughter Project
|
Ten years ago, SuEllen Hamkins, MD, and Renée Schultz, MA, created the Mother- Daughter Project with other women in their community, hoping to strengthen 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. This book details the success of the Project’s groundbreaking model, providing the reader with a road map for staying close with her own daughter through adolescence and beyond.
“The Mother-Daughter Project is a treasure . . . a beautiful road map for strengthening the crucial bond between mothers and daughters.”—Christiane Northrup, MD “Kudos to Hamkins and Schultz for breaking through the isolation of adolescence and offering inspiration for mothers and daughters alike.” —Sara Shandler, author of the New York Times bestseller Ophelia Speaks “Every mother of a girl should read this book, try out some of the exercises with her daughter, and start their own mother-daughter group.” —Sharon Lamb, EdD, coauthor of Packaging Girlhood |
