The Renew Women’s Ministry at Horizon Christian Church (HCF) invites mothers and daughters to attend Bunco Night. The event will be held on Aug. 5, Friday, at the church’s Base Camp from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The church's announcement mentioned that junior and senior high school girls are allowed to participate in the said event. It would be an enjoyable evening, as added in the post.

HCF’s Youth Ministry

According to the Youth Section, the HCF’s youth program envisions winning, disciplining, and sending young people. As further explained on its website, HCF seeks to reach out to students for Christ.

The church’s ministry added that they are working with various schools in their community. They are sharing the Gospels with the schools in Clairemont.

In addition, the youth ministry desires to witness these learners mature in their connection with Jesus. Also, they want them to use their talents to share God's kingdom.

Once these students are equipped, the HCF emphasized that they would send them out into the field. So they could proclaim the Gospel wherever God may lead them.

Mother-Daughter Bond: Strong Emotional Connection

The Deakin University website collaborated with the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. They researched the teen-parent bond effect.

The website said that Deakin psychology lecturer Dr. Jacqui Macdonald had spent years researching. She studied how individuals’ experiences from childhood to teen years affect them.

She studied how these experiences affected their future relationships. The doctor also researches how their mental health affects their parenthood.

Through the help of this research, they discovered patterns in behavioral issues over time and generations. Dr. Macdonald also said that the study offers opportunities for people to change their fixed family approaches. These behaviors and interactions could lead to problems.

Deakin University assessed the connection between hundreds of 16-year-old girls and their parents. The research team did another interview ten years later. The website said they had become parents themselves.

Some children received “warmth and affection” from their parents as teenagers. These girls were likely to create a healthy emotional relationship with their kids, as mentioned on the website.

However, the research also stated that irresponsible parents raise children, which affects how young ladies build future connections with their kids.

Changing Patterns

Moreover, Dr. Macdonald explained that many first-time parents share their worries and fears. They also carry their resentment when they become parents.

She added that it is difficult for them to handle those emotions when dealing with a baby crying and their sleep being disturbed.

With this, the doctor advised the parents that seeking help is vital. She said this suggestion is for both mothers and fathers.

In addition, some very positive studies reveal that parents could be in control. They could take charge of making relationships and emotional connections with their children.

She added that they could nurture their kids regardless of their past experiences. Dr. Macdonald emphasized that asking for the assistance they need is crucial.

As further explained, it is difficult for parents to put their child's needs as their top priority over their emotional needs. The research said this result is especially true for first-timers.
