"Empathy, validation, and effective communication. Mothers should prioritise active listening, acknowledge their daughter's emotions, and respect individuality. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, mothers can encourage open dialogue, build trust, and promote a strong, lifelong bond, helping their daughters develop self-confidence and emotional intelligence. Mutual respect is key."
