I have a daughter who is 8 years old. She has a beautiful soul. She's calm and she's loving and she's kind. I am worried that she doesn't feel that she can come to me. There have been some incidents that have been significant in her life in the area of being strong enough to say no and stand up for herself and other people have seen her unable to respond assertively yet she won't tell me. I was so intentional when she was born, to always have a good relationship with my daughter. I guess as the years have gone by my expectations have been too high and maybe my perfectionism has made her feel that she would be seen as imperfect( which we all are), If she came to me. I think she's scared of my reaction or of upsetting me. I feel horrible and I am looking for geniune ways to build a strong relationship devoid of fear. Please mums could you give me some kind and helpful advice.
