Matt and Suzanne Degges-White discuss the relationship between mothers and daughters. Suzanne says it can be difficult to develop positive relationships with a mother and daughter when the mother has had poorly modelled behavior from her own mother. Getting out of the bad habits that were so natural takes effort but can be done. 

Contributor Sarah Gowans discusses the idea of balancing friendship and motherhood. She suggests that mothers should be open enough that their daughters feel comfortable with coming to them for help. However, there's also a need for structure and discipline that a mother must model. She must be able to put aside the idea of always wanting to be a friend and do what is best for her daughter.
