& MOTHER DAUGHTER with QUI
MINDBLOWING MAGAZINE | 54
Here’s a relationship I would love to dive into with you: the relationship between Nai and me, mother and daughter. I don’t know if it’s your dream, but it sure is mine, to have an amazing relationship with my favorite girl! Over time you find a flow. That’s after I’ve established the kind of foundation I wanted with her. I knew I didn’t just want to be her mom or parent … I also wanted to be her friend. I know that’s not common in some households, but for me, it makes sense. It works. Just like building any solid relationship, you want to make sure you develop an understanding of who the person truly is at the heart level. In my case, I loved teaching and watching Nai grow.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). As Nai got older, even as a child, I wanted us to be “cool,” so setting that tone was major for me. Discipline, structure, respect, relationship — a few principles we use in our home.
