Celebrating Mother's Day: The Not-So-Obvious Impact Moms Have on Daughters
may 9th, 2023
Mother’s Day is nearly here; this time, we’re looking beyond the cards, candles, and flowers. Instead, let’s celebrate moms’ lifelong positive impact on daughters, particularly in the not-so-obvious ways.
You see, you’re not just the seriously stretched supermom juggling meetings with homework, driving your daughter to gymnastics, and organizing her busy social life, for 14 hours a day.
You are so much more.
Every day you influence your daughter; with small acts of kindness, the way you teach her to be careful online, or even when you go for a run.
So let’s reflect on how moms shape their daughters’ worlds and help them grow into kind, intellectually curious, and confident young women.

Moms Pass On Values
A 2020 study shows that kindness is the number one quality American moms want to instill into their children, followed by love of family. A strong work ethic and individuality were also important, and nearly 30% said that teaching their child to be her most authentic self takes precedence over raising a high achiever.
Between wondering what to cook for dinner and stressing about tomorrow’s management meeting, instilling values is something you may not think about every day. But values are part of you; they give you an identity and a way to view the world.
Values can range from kindness to honesty, integrity to responsibility, to prioritizing family time.

Moms Raise Critical Thinkers
Moms say they undertake more critical thinking work with their kids than dads, helping them evaluate evidence and arguments.
Critical thinking is essential in our increasingly digital world, where AI writes articles, and social media platforms are the most popular news platform for 18-34-year-olds.

Applying reflective thought is not just important when analyzing news sources. Research indicates that ‘critical thinkers experience fewer bad things in life,’ such as carrying large amounts of debt on their credit cards or foreclosing on their homes, most likely because they are less likely to act impulsively.
Moms Are Sports Role Models
When it comes to being active, a strong relationship is at play between mothers and daughters. The findings of a 2022 Women in Sport study reflect this; 48% of girls said their mom encourages them to be active, and 47% said their mom is their most significant source of support when it comes to playing sports.
Playing sports can benefit girls tremendously; being active boosts confidence, helps them stay in school longer, and lands them better-paying jobs.
The bottom line? Moms have superpowers.
We know that moms are a powerful influence in their daughters’ lives, but we don’t always celebrate the not-so-obvious ways in which they do it. From passing on values to being sports role models, let’s honor moms (and these not-so-obvious ways they impact their daughters) this Mother’s Day.
