| Today’s “Ask Dr. Annie Abram” radio show is about the importance of the father/daughter relationship for female development. How often do we think about a father’s contribution to his daughter’s development? Now ask yourself the same question with regard to a father/son relationship. Why is the mother/daughter and mother/son relationship a discussion we find in scholarly and self-help books, professional journals, novels, and memoirs, but the same is not true for the father/daughter relationship? Listen in while Karen Johnson, author of “Voices of Daughters” and Dr. Annie Abram discuss this “missing” subject and why it’s not part of our public discourse about parenting.

There’s no more challenging or potentially rewarding job on earth than parenting! Yet there’s no formal training for this lifelong role. Most of us simply parent as our parents did. And they parented as our grandparents did. How many times have you said, “I can’t believe I said that,” when you hear yourself saying exactly the same words to your children that your mother said to you?
Raising children as these past generations did is not necessarily a good model for us. But it can be difficult to break the parenting patterns handed down to us — until we understand them.
Dr. Annie Abram offers an opportunity for open conversation about mindful parenting, finding your voice as a parent, and feeling competent in this role. She believes parenting is a relationship, not a set of rules. It gives us the opportunity of a lifetime: to re-write our own life narrative. As we develop a deeper understanding of ourselves we can better understand our children.
