Mom & Daughter Activity

by

Here’s a great way for a mom to get closer to her teenage daughter. Does your daughter get any of the teen magazines, like “Seventeen” or “Cosmo Girl!”? They have quizzes in them on friendship, boyfriends and other subjects pertinent to teens.

Get the magazine and take turns doing the quizzes with your daughter! You can either do the quizzes from your present point of view, or (more fun) try and answer the questions the way you would have when you were your daughter’s age. Then, you and your daughter compare your answers!

Another interesting variation is for each of you to try and guess what answers the other would give. Whatever way you answer, each of you must agree to give honest answers. It’s a fun way for mother and daughter to get to know each other better! So get out your pencils and get going!

    That is an incredibly terrific tip, Gayle! As my girls aren’t quite old enough yet, I’ll store this for later…but thinking back it would have been a fun way to learn about my mother’s girlhood!

    I love this idea! My daughter is only 7 months old…but I am passing this along to my friends with older daughters!
