How can bring my daughter and i closer

Question

i love my daughter dearly but she and i have nothing in common i like to watch movies and have some activity and she is always opposite of me she is only 7 i know that very young. when she was younger she lived with her grandma for a year or so and now that i have lost time with my daughter i want us to bond again and she keeps acting in a way that i would have never allowed she 7 and she wants to be treated like a baby. i can do that so then we are left at square 1

Answer 1

my 7 year old and i like to color together, do bead crafts and i let her do my hair and make up. you just need to find out what her likes are and try to do those things. play dolls with her. at 7 movies are too much sitting. give her time she will bond with you but on her terms but don't baby her too much. but playing baby with her is good bonding. hold her like a baby and do the mommy wommy type talk with her making her feel loved. my 7 year old loves to do this with me, but my 7 year old also has autism.

Answer 2

Put your foot down. Don't let her act so helpless.. But remember, she is very young. She probably just wants attention. Try to do some things that she'd enjoy, rather than what you'd enjoy. You may be able to connect with her that way. =)
