Building relationships with your family when you have an adult daughter can be challenging. It happens that over the years it becomes more and more difficult to talk to her and find a common language. However, with the right behavior, you can develop a good relationship with your daughter.
Instructions
Step 1
Show respect for your child's life. Accept that you already have an adult daughter, an independent person. Perhaps in your soul you still consider her a little, unreasonable girl who needs to be taught wisdom and protected from external life. Your daughter may feel this attitude and therefore distance herself from you as a parent. Try to understand her and accept her interests.
Step 2
Do not rush to judge your daughter for any actions. Taking into account the fact that you are from different generations can help you build relationships. Despite the fact that you are members of the same family, the development of your personalities has been facilitated by different upbringing, culture, environment and external environment.
Step 3
Let go of the urge to fulfill yourself through your daughter. Some parents make the mistake of trying to fulfill their own dreams and lost opportunities in their children. Let your adult daughter choose her life path, profession, career, hobbies, friends, values, principles and priorities on her own.
Step 4
Respect her choice. It happens that parents are in conflict with their children about their choice of a companion or companion in life. Don't be like them. If your daughter falls in love with a young man, give her the opportunity to sort out her relationship herself. Don't interfere with them.
Step 5
Support your daughter. If times are tough in her life, be prepared to help her with advice or money. And when your child shares his plans with you, never show your skepticism. Trust in your girl and don't belittle her enthusiasm for any endeavors.
Step 6
To improve your relationship with your daughter, try to become a friend, not a mentor or educator. Remember that she is an adult. Leave the preachings behind and build a trusting atmosphere in your relationship. Believe me, thanks to this behavior of yours, your daughter will always appreciate you, share with you everything that happens in her life, and take your opinion into account.
