National Daughters Day was on Sept. 25. The day offers the perfect opportunity to celebrate that special bond between parents and their daughters. Whether you're trying to keep up with your daughter's TikTok dances or navigating another round of "why" questions, this day is all about appreciating the unique role daughters play in our lives. For all parents, whether you are married or single, time goes quickly, and it is at times difficult to remember that all moments together are precious—whether it's creating photo album-worthy memories or enduring the everyday challenges that test your patience. On this day of celebration, try to remember that you're laying the groundwork for your daughter to grow into a strong, confident woman who will one day understand why you asked her to clean her room a thousand times.

One way to celebrate National Daughters Day is to engage in activities that both you and your daughter enjoy. Sometimes the best memories come from simple experiences like sharing fries at her favorite restaurant or spending the day together embarking on activities she enjoys. You can even relive some of your mother-daughter moments—like the first time your mom let you have dessert before dinner, the day she picked you up from school and you went to the movies or that one epic fight over walking the dog that now seems so silly. This is also your chance to have those deeper conversations about what it means to be a daughter and to have a daughter—and confess to her that you swore you wouldn't turn into your own parents. (Spoiler alert: You probably did)
