Mom & Daughter Discussion Questions The following questions are intended to draw you and your daughter closer together, to help you learn to be a student of her heart. Please allow for open and honest conversation without getting defensive or upset. The goal is to build trust between you and your daughter. In order for you to be student of her heart, she needs to be able to trust you with it. This means hearing some things you may not want to hear. For example, something you say might hurt her feelings or she may not understand your reasoning for a decision. This is the time to dig deep and work through things before they become bigger issues. Before you dive into these discussion questions, be in prayer for you both to be in unity, for a soft heart for both of you, ask for eyes of understanding - so that you can see deeper than what might be being said. Pray that you and your daughter will be drawn closer together and closer to God. Print the following cards out onto cardstock for durability. There are questions for both of you to ask each other, questions for mom to ask daughter and questions for daughter to ask mom as well as 6 blank templates for your own questions. Cut them out and store on a binder ring or with a binder clip. Plan a special time to start these discussion questions. For example, plan to go out to a nice restaurant for appies or a dessert. Pack a picnic lunch and go to the park or the beach. Go on a hike - not too rigorous since you ll want to talk while you hike. Go to a coffee shop or ice cream parlour. Hop into the car and take a short ride to a different city. Most of all...have a great time! In Grace, Aimee
