TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - According to psychologist Roni Cohen-Sandler, there are three common complaints a child has for a mother, the character of a mother who likes to patronize, criticize, and demand. While there are three problems that a mother often has in her daughter, namely not listening to her, cannot make the right decision, and not have time for her.
Here are some ways to maintain the quality of the relationship between mother and daughter.
1. Dare to start
According to wedding and family therapist Linda Mintle, the relationship between mother and daughter will not grow if both have a feeling of reluctant or shy to take the initiative.
2. Self-Introspection
Mother and daughter relationship and other relationship are not one-way. Mintle presupposes introspection in relationships such as dance. If a person changes the dance moves, her partner will automatically change according to her movements.
3. Keep Communication
Communication is still needed because mother and daughter actually cannot read each other's minds. According to Sandler, to create good communication, mother and daughter must speak gently and sincere heart to heart.
4. Be a Good Listener
According to Sandler, active listening must be done to show a sense of caring. The way to become an active listener is by reflecting on or repeating their stories. Show that you hear and understand their intentions.
5. Learn to Forgive
According to Mintle, forgiveness is different from reconciliation which involving both parties. Forgiving is more than just understanding a mistake. By forgiving, the power of an apology can be beneficial both to your mental and physical health.
