Talk to your daughter every day.
They days can be full of plenty to do and they may be chaotic, but no matter how busy you are, make time to listen to your daughters thoughts and her feelings. Having an open door of communication is one of the keys to maintaining a great mother-daughter relationship.

Don't criticize your daughter.
Many mothers think that criticism will help shape their daughter in who they want them to be. Too much harsh criticism instead of correcting them constructively will determine what kind of confidence she has in her won abilities in the future. This can create anger and bitterness between the both of you. Be uplifting with your words and always find things that are good in her, this will create ease with herself and the world around her.

Show and express your love as often as you can.
Your daughter needs to be held, hugged, kissed and told how much you love her. This will help her develop good feelings about you and herself. Self-esteem is built through the affection that comes from home, especially parents. Showing affection is crucial to her development. Never assume your daughter knows that you love her, always show her and tell her. You can never overstate how much you love your child.

What can daughters do to ensure a healthy relationship with their mothers?

Try to understand her.
Trying to understand your mother can be hard, especially if you have hurt feelings from a past argument. Remember to try and stay calm and it is better to talk when you both have cooled down. Talking about your issues is better than arguing about them. When you have taken the time to understand her, then share your feelings and thoughts without accusing her.

Set rules with one anther.
You both can agree on some rules such as speaking kindly, talking about things before they become a huge issue, and taking turns listening to one another. Contention doesn't solve anything and it just slowly ruins relationships. Creating rules that help both of you express your feelings and listen can build strong relationships one with another.

Take a good look at yourself.
What are you doing that is keeping you from having a better relationship with your mother? Are you obeying the family rules? Do you need to open up more? Do you need to be more respectful? Really look at yourself and see if there are things you can do to change. Changing a few key things may solve the problems you seem to have with your mother.

Let your mother know you love her.
You may be the daughter, but mothers need to hear they are loved too. Do things that will let your mother know that you love her and that she is important to you. Help her with chores. Plan a fun activity you can both do together. The most important thing is to say, "I'm sorry." In telling her that you love her and taking time to be with her will ensure your relationship to continue to strengthen and grow. Loving words resolve problems and harsh words only create anger.

Perhaps the most important keys to a mother-daughter relationship are trust and respect. Trust and respect have to come from both daughter and mother. A mother needs to respect her daughters' opinions on things and needs to trust her word. A daughter needs to trust that her mother has her best interest at heart and respect her rules and other regulations she has set for her children. Respecting and trusting one another is a very important key to a healthy relationship.

Remember to have fun with each other! Go away together on a trip. Go for walks and have frequent times you talk. Spend time laughing and enjoying one another. Talk about memories and funny stories from the past. Just take time for each other, whether it is once a day or multiple times a month. It is important to spend quality time together!

Working together is the key to a mother-daughter relationship. Examine yourself and take time to change if needed. Enjoy one another's company and have fun learning new things about each other. Take time to build your everlasting relationship, you won't regret it!
