    About this audiobook

    Now an ECPA Best Seller—Kari Kampakis's Love Her Well gives moms ten practical tips for how to build strong and lasting relationships with their daughters.

    For many women, having a baby girl is a dream come true. But as girls grow up, the narrative of innocence and joy changes to one of dread as moms are told, "Just wait until she's a teenager!" and handed a disheartening and too-often-true script about a daughter's teenage season of life.

    Author, blogger, and mom to four daughters Kari Kampakis thinks it's time to change the narrative and mind-set that leads moms to parent teen girls with a spirit of defeat instead of strength. Love Her Well isn't a guide to help mothers "fix" their daughters or make them behave. It's about a mom's journey, doing the heart-work necessary to love a teenager while still being a steady, supportive parent. Kari offers wisdom about how moms can:

    • Choose their words and timing carefully.
    • Listen and empathize with her teen's world.
    • See the good, and love her for who she is.
    • Take care of themselves and find a support system in the process.

    By working on the foundation, habits, and dynamics of the relationship; mothers can connect with their teen daughters and earn a voice in their lives that allows moms to offer guidance, love, wisdom, and emotional support.

    Kari gives mothers hope, wisdom, and a reminder that all things are possible through God, who is the source of the guidance and clarity they need in order to grow strong relationships with their daughters at every age—especially during the critical teen years.

    Reflection questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

      This book was right on time to carry me through. Even the most loving teens can be extremely self absorbed at times. And then at other times where you think they are going to crack under fire, they walk straight through that fire, unharmed, to give you a warm appreciative hug. Thanks Kari, loved loved loved this book!
    • 5/5
      Amazing- this book is not only for moms but I found it so helpful for me as an aunt and loving my teenage nieces well. I want to be able to encourage and love her well. I also have a better sense of what her mom is experiencing and am better equipped to pray for her and love her well. Thank you, Kari, for writing this!
