The Gift of Motherhood also functions
as a how - to guide to parenting, proposing practical strategies for dealing with
mother - daughter conflicts, for envisioning the type of
mother you want to become and achieving that vision for being both friend and
authority figure to your child.
Teen groups are run using the Girls Circle format, which was designed to allow for discussion of topics such
as body image, friendship, assertive vs. aggressive or passive responses, stress management,
authority figures and
mother / daughter relationships.
