And I do think it's important for us to have that relationship, even more so now than our

parents generation, because there's a lot at stake if our kids aren't listening to us and

they're listening to their friends and going elsewhere for advice.

It's not always backing up what we're saying at home.

But at the same time, you know, what I have to remind myself when there's something I have to tell

my child that I'm like, she is not going to be happy about this.

I have to think that she's got lots of friends, but she only has one mom.

And if I don't mother her, then who's going to do it.

That's Carrie Campacus. She's with us today on Focus on the Family and thank you for joining us your

host is focus president and author Jim Daly and I'm John Fuller. You know John I

think moms have incredible influence over their kids. I think to a degree more than dads at times you know

moms are just the anchors dads at a wild cards but moms have such great

influence. Any relationship takes that kind of intentionality and care

the relationship between a mother and daughter is unique.

You've experienced that.

We have.

I mean you've observed being it.

Three daughters and watching her influence them.

We haven't had that experience with two boys obviously.

So I'm gonna really learn today what it's like to parent daughters and we're gonna talk about

how to love your daughter well and I'm looking forward to the discussion

and we have a great guest joining us.
