You see the eye rolls. You hear the one-word answers. You feel the distance—and maybe you're wondering, "What happened to the sweet girl who used to talk to me about everything?"

Here’s the truth: your daughter still needs you. But the way she shows it has changed.

In this heartfelt post, I’m sharing real quotes from teen girls about what they wish their moms understood—but don’t know how to say. You’ll also learn why emotional validation is one of the most powerful tools you have to lower conflict, build trust, and reconnect with your daughter—even in the hardest moments.

If you're longing for more peace, more understanding, and more connection, this post is for you.
