Moms and daughters. They can go from best friends to mortal
enemies with breakneck speed. From boyfriends to curfews and
from outfits to eating habits, mothers and daughters often
end up in conflict about everything. Now with Side by Side,
mothers finally have a proven program to help navigate their
relationship with their daughters of any age. Dr. Charles
Sophy has dedicated his career to the physical and mental
health of children and families from all walks of life.
Through hundreds of consultations, he found the most
promising and most problematic family dynamic is that
between mother and daughter. Side by Side introduces the
Four Truths of every mother-daughter relationship and a
revolutionary communication approach called the Chair
Strategy. This mom-driven strategy is designed to harness
her power to resolve even the most volatile situations with
love, understanding, and respect. It provides a concrete
visual of the way mothers and daughters communicate,
revealing that at all times, moms and daughters approach
each other in one of three positions: back-to-back—when mom
and daughter are at odds, neither looking at one another or
listening to what the other is saying face-to-face—when they
are discussing an issue openly, honestly, and with respect,
regardless of whether they agree or not side-by-side—when
both are looking in the same direction, sharing the same
perspective Dr. Sophy reveals how to develop the essential
skill for identifying your current position and then moving
you and your daughter toward the best position for achieving
a productive outcome. Being a mom is hard work, and this
practical and accessible explanation of the most important
role you will ever play steers you through even the roughest
waters, including the hot-button issues of sex, money, and
divorce. With exercises, guided conversations, journaling,
and real-world stories, this book takes the mother-daughter
relationship, regardless of its current state, and leads it
toward a new level of understanding, love, and true
connection. Side by Side is the pivotal first step to having
a strong and rewarding relationship with your daughter for
years to come.
