Valerie and her daughter, Kristen, attended a Mother/Daughter doll-making workshop at Hartford Seminary back in 2005. This is her story...
"My daughter Kristin, a junior in high school, received a $300 speeding ticket for, well, speeding. Her father and I were recently divorced and Kristin had become cold and hostile to me. When I saw Hartford Seminary's ad for a Mother/Daughter doll-making workshop, I thought to myself how nice it would be to do something like that with Kristin. Inspired, I offered to pay Kristin's speeding ticket if she would attend this workshop with me. Reluctantly, she agreed. We went to the workshop - and had a ball! We made dolls for each other and throughout the course of the event, we talked and she really softened up toward me. Every sequin I added to her doll was a message from me to her of my huge love for her. And she 'got it' - and responded. I still consider that workshop to have been a breakthrough point for us in terms of our relationship. And three years later, she still keeps the doll I made for her next to her bed on her nightstand."
