 Dear (Contact First Name),

I'm so excited to be doing an incredible event with my dear friend, Tova!!

 

It's a Mother and Daughter mini workshop for mothers and tween girl's ages (11-14)                                                                                                                                                                          

Do you sometimes feel like you don't understand your daughter anymore? Like you are trying to be helpful but instead making it worse?

Do you wonder what's going on with your daughter and how to support her as she is growing out of being your little girl in to being a young woman?

Do you remember what life was like for you as a teenager?  What place did your mother fill?

Was she there for you? Did she get you? How would you like your relationship with your daughter to be, the same or different?   What have you done to make sure this happens?

This workshop is what you need to help her feel empowered, supported, independent- and help you feel confident in communicating with her.

Our mission during this workshop is to:

ˇ      Focus on bridging gaps

ˇ      Foster mutual understanding and connection

ˇ      Create respect, trust and connection to last a lifetime.

 

Why should we come?

The mother/daughter relationship is critically important and yet so complicated, wonderful and ever-changing. Both moms and girls want to have relationships that work, allowing both to grow individually yet remain connected.

This workshop will help you and your daughter get a fresh perspective, work on communication skills, foster understanding and create new rituals.

 

For your Teen- Why should you bring your mother to this?

Well, do you feel she really gets you? Really listens to you? Would you like some help in getting her to understand and support you better? Then come spend a few hours with us that will make all the difference in your world.

 

Will we have fun?

Of course we will!  We will dig deep and do meaningful stuff, but also make sure to have lots of fun as we get to know each other better.
