The secrets to raising teen girls are centered around communication.
Timing is everything. If your daughter is stressed, hungry, intoxicated, angry, or emotionally flooded, it is not the right time to have a conversation. Likewise, if you are in any of these states, it is not a good idea to have a conversation with your teen daughter. Give space instead of addressing things immediately.
Daughters are hard-wired for drama and are hard-wired to make mistakes. It is not personal when she acts out. It is a normal part of development. Therefore, it is important not to feel like a failure. Giving yourself time to calm yourself down is helpful for having a healthy relationship.
Like with everything in life, it is important not to compare your daughter with other girls. Let them be who they are and discover themselves. Likewise, choose the battles versus focusing on the things that don’t really matter.
As moms, we feel the need to be the perfect mom, and that our daughters need to be the perfect daughter. If we are feeling this way, we are going to make our daughters feel that we don’t care about them, we only care about perfection.
Drama kills the relationship. Therefore, it is important to dial down the drama to build a connection.
Don’t let the drama control the connection with your daughter. Be intentional about connection by dialing down the drama.
If there is drama all the time, you will miss out on great moments with your daughter.
Get up, give me your phone, and go to bed, constantly being in this mode is just managing your teen.
Take the monitor hat off and commit to being with your daughter for 20 minutes a day. Be the mom who she sees laugh. Be present for her at least 20 minutes a day. When she sees that you aren’t always pouncing on her, she will let you in more and more of her life.
Robyn emphasized that it is important for your daughter to know that she can come to you with anything and have a conversation about anything, versus them feeling afraid of being judged by us. This demonstrates acceptance of imperfection.
When your teen wants to talk or share something, don’t let the moments go by without engaging with her. When you stop and listen, you will create amazing memories.

There is no doubt that Pam Leo has changed and affected literally thousands and thousands of lives in her decades of work teaching parents. She is a writer, speaker, educator and like me, an avid reader and learner.
Since the explosion of social media, Pam has gained additional "internet fame" with her quote "Let's raise children who won't have to recover from their childhoods." Spurred on by this very quote, Amee reached out to Pam Leo to see if she would sit down and talk about how exactly to do this.
Listen as the two of them discuss Pam's book, Connection Parenting and how we can all learn so much more about ourselves - even if we're not parents - by understanding more about how we were raised.
