Is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is focused exclusively on mother and daughter relationships. This Network is dedicated to healing or improving the mother and daughter bond and to making possible the rearing of daughters with good morals, values, and strong family ties. We call this the “GMVS Model”. We believe that open and honest communication between mothers and daughters will produce thinkers who have good reasoning skills and who use good judgment. We are working with mothers and daughters from every social and economic background. Using the “GMVS Model”, we teach mothers and daughters the skills they need to create and strengthen their bonds with one another, and to develop relationships based on love, trust and mutual respect.

The National Association of the Mother and Daughter Bonding Network, Inc. is built around the pressing need to improve the direction toward which our societies are moving. Women have always been the strength and backbone of society - the glue that holds families and communities together. The loss of purpose, self-respect and sense of responsibility among many women these days contributes greatly to the weakening morals and increasing decline of society. The strengthening of women’s self respect and sense of family and community responsibility can be done with an improvement of the mother and daughter relationship using the “GMVS Model” and getting back to a place where each generation of women carries with it the love, respect, values, experience and wisdom of the previous generation.

The National Association of the Mother and Daughter Bonding Network, Inc. uses educational programs to help heal and strengthen mother and daughter bonds. Mothers and daughters learn skills, strategies and techniques to help improve their bonds through one-on-one intra-conversation communication (intra-conversation is the conversation we have in our own minds). Mothers and daughters learn that our words create our thoughts, our thoughts create our visions, and our visions create our realities.

Mothers or daughters can end up with highly negative intra-conversations when they misunderstand or misinterpret what the other is trying to tell them. Turning intra-conversation from negative to positive can be a direct result of healing and improving the mother and daughter bond.

The National Association of the Mother and Daughter Bonding Network, Inc. offers conferences and workshops, teleconferences and coaching sessions based on the “GMVS Model”, designed to improve communication between mothers and daughters. We offer one-day intensive mother and daughter bonding workshops with six months of follow-up group sessions; plus conferences, Internet training, one-on-one coaching and family coaching. Programs can be custom designed to meet the specific needs of your school, church or community organization. The network offers community outreach programs and seminars for larger groups of people. We publish a bi-monthly magazine: Mother and Daughter Bonding Magazine: Developing Women of Substance. Through our website, we keep our members informed and involved with regular updates on current issues, comprehensive educational resources, and future mother and daughter events.

Using the “GMVS Model”, The National Association of the Mother and Daughter Bonding Network, Inc. can help women realize their importance to themselves, each other, their families, their workplace, their communities and their world.

The National Association of the Mother and Daughter Bonding Network, Inc. survives with the support of people who realize the tremendous importance of strengthening and healing mother and daughter bonds throughout the world. Individuals, corporations, churches and community organizations can help support this worthwhile cause in many ways.




Most mothers in the United States are raising at least one daughter. This is a reasonable assumption since statistics show that more females than males are born each year. More females survive to adulthood than males and females tend to live longer than males.

According to the 2003 U.S. Census Bureau statistics, there were 12,687,000 female single-parent households that year. Accordingly, the majority of these single mothers are raising at least one daughter. Do mother and daughter relationships have an impact on society, as well as their families? Absolutely.

Women are the nurturers of the family and of society. They are the bearers of future generations. Without a significant female influence in society, chaos would more than likely be the rule. Women’s intuition, compassion and nurturing natures as well as their incredible inner strength through times of diversity can make the difference between the breakdown of a society and one that thrives.

The wisdom and values that mothers pass on to their daughters and granddaughters throughout the generations are inherently important not only to specific families, but also to societies on a global scale. Women are important to the world. Mother-daughter relationships have a literal effect on society the importance of which cannot be understated.

When there are a lack of strong bonds between mothers and daughters, the unfortunate effect can be the increasingly dysfunctional relationships between mothers and daughters passed down through generations. A daughter who does not feel a strong bond of mutual love and respect with her mother is less able to love and respect herself. She will find it difficult to create a loving bond with her own daughter – she never learned how.

With each generation, the bonds can become weaker. The values, experiences, and learned wisdom of the mother cannot be passed on to the daughter if communication has broken down. For generations, a crucial element in learning to become strong, moral, capable, self-loving and nurturing women can be lost. And, our world suffers. When mothers and daughters learn to heal their damaged relationships and begin to relate to and learn from each other, they are giving a priceless gift to future generations.

The breakdown of mother and daughter bonding and the resulting loss of direction, morals, compassion and self-respect in women is becoming an increasingly dangerous problem for communities. The number of female violent offenders has increased dramatically over the past century. Auburn University sociologist, Penelope Hanke, Ph.D. discovered upon reviewing the records of an Alabama prison that 95% of the stranger-murder cases by women were committed after 1970. Sixty percent 60% of the friend/relative murders by women also occurred after this period of time.

The number of teenage girls joining violent gangs or committing felonies continues to increase. The teenage girls’ behavior is fueled by the increasing lack of respect by girls for themselves, their families, their communities and people in general. Drug use among girls and women is a problem that continues to grow unchecked. The lack of respect for themselves and the people around them affects females not only in their families and communities, but also in the workplace. With more women in the workplace these days, this can have a direct effect on the economy.

Teen pregnancy continues to be a distinct problem in today’s society. Over 800,000 teens become pregnant each year. When you have a teen mother who never developed a strong bond with her own mother, you have someone who is not only disadvantaged by immaturity, but also has no clear role model for successful mothering. If this teen mother has a daughter, the problem is perpetuated to the next generation to the next generation. It is easy to see how mother and daughter relationships can have a global effect. The domino effect is blatantly apparent.

Except for cases where there is physical or emotional abuse from the start, many mother and daughter relationships can begin to break down when the daughter begins to show signs of wanting to be independent and find her own way in the world. This can start anywhere between the ages of 13 to 18. A mother may suddenly want to stop her daughter from making the mistakes that she made at that age or from just making potentially dangerous choices.

This motherly concern may manifest itself in what the daughter perceives as nagging, controlling or continual insults. The daughter begins to believe that her mother does not approve of who she is or how she feels. The hurt the daughter feels over this concern causes feelings of resentment. If these problems are not addressed early, they can magnify and carry on into the daughter’s adulthood.

When the daughter is between the ages of 18 and 34, she is living her own unique and separate life. It is during this time that a daughter’s relationship with her mother can be strained as she feels that no matter what choices she makes in life, her mother will not approve. The mother may feel that the daughter is deliberately making choices designed to upset her, or that her daughter is shutting her out of her life simply because she has grown to dislike her. Hurt feelings abound on both sides. Unless there is a healing of the rift between mother and daughter, the problems may never be resolved. Thus, the mother and daughter bond can be lost for good.

In the situation where a mother has been the product of generations of broken bonds between mothers and daughters, the problems can start quite early after having her own daughter. Even when her daughter is at a very young age, the mother can be reminded of the dysfunctional relationship she had with her own mother. The mother can damage the relationship with her young daughter by trying to overcompensate or by simply not trying to bond with her young daughter at all for fear of more emotional pain.

With your help, we can realize the dream of strengthening mother and daughter bonds in our families, communities and the world. Our communities and our world will be enriched in many ways by this most necessary and important endeavor.
