Daughter Questions To Ask Mom

[Cora Synder]

Ifyou're feeling a little distanced from your daughter, why not try asking her a few questions from our list below? Our questions are designed to be meaningful, helping you connect with your daughter at a deeper level.

We know that fostering a strong bond with our daughters is one of the most beautiful and rewarding aspects of motherhood. But let's face it, as our girls grow and change, sometimes it can be challenging to keep the lines of communication as open and flowing as we'd like. Especially when they're transitioning from little girls to young adults. Today, we're here to help make that a bit easier! We've compiled a list of 100 conversation starters for moms and daughters, tailored specifically for girls aged between 9 and 15. These questions are designed to spark meaningful conversations, encourage deeper understanding, and strengthen the bond between you and your daughter. So let's dive in, and get those heart-to-heart conversations started!

Don't worry if your child isn't very excited initially about answering your questions. And don't rush them to answer or move on to another one too quickly. Letting your child take their time shows that you're genuinely interested in what they have to say, and not just robotically asking.

My daughter turned 19 in Nov 2021. She filed her own taxes for 2020. She is working 2 part time jobs and a full time student (first year Under Grad). I am using Desktop ver of TT and I am unable to categorize her as "Credit for Other Dependents" which was done last year by my tax preparator. I have following questions:

3. We (Parents) provide all her support (College Tuition, Dorm fees ...etc...). One of the Questions in TT asks ""If your child was away at college, count the number of months away as having lived with you" which makes her living whole year with me which in turn makes her Dependent. What is the way to exclude her as Dependent in TT and categorize her "Credit for Other Dependents"

You claim her as your child. She lived in your home for the entire year. She did not provide over one-half of her own support. There was no other relative in the household who also provided her support. She was a full time student.

You enter your daughter's information as a dependent in My Info. At age 19 if she is a full-time student she can be claimed as your qualifying child dependent. The $500 Credit for Other Dependents will show up on line 19 of your Form 1040.

Your daughter can file a tax return to seek a refund of tax withheld from her paychecks but she must say on her return that she can be claimed as someone else's dependent. if she filed before you and and did not say that, your e-file is going to be rejected. If that happens you need to print, sign and mail your own tax return.

Tax preparer made me claim her as "Credit for Other Dependents" last year and my daughter filed her return that no one else is claiming her as Dependent. Can she allow me to claim her as dependent this year? The fact that she is switching from filing on her own to asking me to claim her as Dependent, will it raise any Audit flags?

There are two questions, based on my Daughter filing her returns (with no one can claim her as Dependent) and me filing with out her as Dependent but "Credit for other dependents" checked. Please note that this is for last year.

Deep down, I knew. I wanted to try to fix the problem, as you would with a typical child. By asking the question, my world was right side up instead of upside down. My irrelevant questions served only to put my daughter into warrior mode and to set us up for battle. Besides, when you have ADHD, there are no easy fixes to insomnia, paying attention, or remembering, no matter how many times you ask the question. Lee was anything but typical.

When they were younger and got home from school, I always checked in on how their day was, how much homework they had, etc. Sometimes I delved a little deeper and deigned to ask more intimate questions like where they sat at lunch or if X was still dating Y. The horror.

How my kids and I view this style are polar opposites it would seem. According to my kids, I am just shy of a CIA operative using enhanced interrogation techniques. To me, I am a parent that feels it is their job to be in the trenches with them, particularly through those pesky teenage years. What they may not know or understand is that I also consider myself a friend who is genuinely interested in what is going on in their daily lives.

The game show Jeopardy is built around asking questions to suit a category of answers. Parenting is not all that different at times and in the category of Things I Need to Know About My Kids, I will always take the $2,000 slot for the hardest questions, thank you very much, Alex Trebek.

Both school administrators are white, which is not uncommon in schools in the U.S. Despite the amicable relationship with the admins, it was hard to describe the impact of racial harm and trauma that my daughter faced.

I printed the pages and highlighted the areas aligned with what had happened to my daughter. These became helpful in the meeting when, as I mentioned above, the school administrators discussed performative responses like requiring the other child to write an apology letter.

Acts of racial harm are severely traumatic, and new research has shown that these events are similar to post-traumatic stress . I am a firm believer of logical consequences and the code of conduct is there for that reason. Do not be afraid to ask for consequences that go beyond an apology letter, aligned to the code of conduct.

It can also be a good idea to ask for a report to be submitted to the state. Policies on how to respond to hate and bias vary by district and state, but submitting reports to the state as an avenue of grievance should be available. Ask for the principal to prepare and submit a report to the state and forward you a copy of the submitted incident report.

I am worried about my 15-year-old daughter. She was such a loving, affectionate child, but as a teenager she is rude, selfish and given to explosive outbursts. She slams doors, She whines. She says her father and I are embarrassing. She rebuffs most attempts to talk with her. She leaves clothes scattered all over the house. She complains vociferously about house rules on doing her chores or putting away her cell phone at the table.

Parents of teens worry that their often difficult and frequently unlikeable teens have entered a phase from which they will not emerge. I am here, today, to give you hope that as your teens enter young adulthood, which is somewhere in the mid to late 20s, they will change and become significantly easier.

3. This is one of my all-time favorites: Your young adult kids will become more agreeable. What would you have given for your teenage son to be more agreeable? If you ask your twenty-somethings to help around the house, they will be much more likely to step up to the plate than their younger contentious selves. Choosing a movie to watch together may also become a significantly less complicated task. Life becomes easier for everyone when family members would rather agree than engage in conflict.

Q My daughter is on the cusp of her pubescent years. Her legs have grown long and thin, but her torso is still shapeless and flat. Some of her friends, however, have raced past her in physical maturation and are round in all the right places. She looks like a little girl beside them.

Every parent at pickup was involuntarily staring as the girls, completely clueless, turned to walk home. Do their mothers know and not care? Do they care but not know? I have a strong urge to tell one of them who I think might be receptive. Should I?

Reader: The writer outlined how she felt herself badly treated by her older sister at the family Christmas (where their parents were also present). An end-of-day confrontation with the sister resulted in great acrimony and she feels her sister now hates her. Her desired reconnection will be awkward, no doubt.

The primary goal of COPPA is to place parents in control over what information is collected from their young children online. The Rule was designed to protect children under age 13, while accounting for the dynamic nature of the Internet. The Rule applies to operators of commercial websites and online services (including mobile apps and IoT devices, such as smart toys) directed to children under 13 that collect, use, or disclose personal information from children, or on whose behalf such information is collected or maintained (such as when personal information is collected by an ad network to serve targeted advertising). The Rule also applies to operators of general audience websites or online services with actual knowledge that they are collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13, and to websites or online services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information directly from users of another website or online service directed to children. Operators covered by the Rule must:
