Moms. We get it. Raising girls with timeless truth in a modern world is tough. Especially when it comes to dating. So, we are bringing you our best all in one place. We don’t pretend to have all the answers, but we know who does:
If you don’t have all the wisdom needed for this journey, then all you have to do is ask God for it; and God will grant all that you need. He gives lavishly and never scolds you for asking.
James 1:5, The Voice
We are moms asking God for wisdom as we raise our girls in a world that continually says, “If it feels good do it.” Collectively we have daughters in their 20′s just out of college all the way down to preschool. Rest assured, God is still teaching us as well.

I am really concerned about poor choices I have made affected my daughter. She is 10 going on 15. She is more mature than she should be at this age. Her dad hasn’t been around much he is a drug user and only when he has been clean have I allowed him to be around her. She loves her dad though. I have let him stay with us when he was clean but I was always angry with him because of things he put me through. I’ve been in other relationships and she didn’t like them so I broke it off. I now am in a relationship and care deeply for this man. Due to his situation I allowed him to move in. Though he sleeps on the other side of the house I’m afraid this will affect her negatively.
Just extremely concerned
I have an 8 year old step daughter, who started staying with us full time due to her bio moms drug use & problems. So she has lacked a lot of self confidence, she likes popularity (I’ve been trying to get her out of this) she also has started “liking” boys which I know is natural but I don’t want her to think it’s okay to date, we try to explain to her that school and god are the important things right now and she’ll have her whole life to date but I think her moms poor choices in men and in general and I just need advice on how to steer her away from all of that. I waited to date and I loved it.
At this age I would start with something like “Secret Keeper Girl” 8 great dates with your daughter. These activities are going to give her a great foundation.
