In time for Mother's Day: Mother and daughter relationships topic of latest Teens and Tweens podcast

The approach of Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to introduce the latest in the Teens & Tweens podcast series, on CAMH’s KnowledgeX portal, about relationships between mothers and adolescent daughters.

Mother & Daughter Relationships
 
Adolescence is a huge time of change for mother-daughter relationships. In this podcast, Dr. Heather Weir, psychiatrist at the Hospital for Sick Children and psychoanalyst in private practice, speaks with host Avrum Nadigel about a range of topics including:

• how girls’ relationships with their mothers affect their lives
• how the need for adolescent girls to feel like individuals separate from their parents is more difficult with their mothers because they are the same gender
• the effects on adolescent girls who grow up without a mother—their relationships with their fathers and where they can get support from other female adults
• the need to promote healthy relationships with children when dealing with separation and divorce
• the importance of communication.
  

This podcast is a fascinating and insightful conversation about the mother-daughter relationship during girls’ adolescence. It will be of interest to anyone involved in family relationships or women’s issues.
