hi deshawn,   
 i hope my information will show up, because i would really talk with you about some ideals i have to help our children in this world today. we are losing our kids. we must do something to get them back. I have a great ideal i would like to share with you. maybe you can help me birth this baby.
 well i would like to talk to women about our daughters how do we get alone. what can you give your daughter when she has become a woman herself and she can't hear you and you can't see anything that you thought you installed in her up bring?
 The more i talk to her the dummer i get. I understand that saying now. also it wears on your health. i have become so helpless when it comes to reaching her. nothing i say makes since.

I am sure my mother felt the same way you do.

I too am feeling the real birthing pains of being a mother to 4 children (2 boys and 2 girls) my eldest being my daughter and 12 years old. That age where I seemed to begin to loose my mind, or so my mom thought.

Me on the other hand, I thought I was on a journey to find myself. However, the real test came when I chose how to find myself.

Although my mother provided me with words of wisdom and I made some inappropriate choices. Her words did not fall on death ears. She continually invested in me, prayed with and for me. She made my brother and I go to church. She would do things like leave her church music playing after she left for work and when we left for school we both would find ourselves singing the church songs throughout the day.

Some things my mom did and that help me with my children are:

1.) Plead the blood of Jesus over children before leaving the house.
2.) Pray with and for your children (allow them to lead prayer)
3.) Ask questions
4.) A Continuous loving and kind word should always follow chastising;
5.) Allow your children to express themselves in a respectful way;
6.) Have fun with your children. If you have more than one find one on one time to spend with each.

last but not least.....

7.) Never give up! Your child is your blessing from God. He has trusted you. Although we as mothers sometimes feel like we have done all we can our job is really never done. If you feel like you can't do anything else don't stop the prayers because there is power in PRAYER!

Even though you may think the advice you give your daughter is falling on death ears. "If you train up a child in the way he/she should go when they are old they will not depart from it". (Proverbs 22:6)

Continue to ask God for strength and ways to communicate with your daughter. We all are different and receive in different ways. I hope I was helpful.
