An Analysis Of Lizzie's Relationship

Initially, before entering adolescence, Lauren and her daughter had a very good relationship, she called this the “golden era” between them. There seemed to be no conflict and Lizzie and her would spend a lot of time together doing activities that they both seemed to enjoy. Lauren began to notice a change in her daughter when she was no longer interested in spending time with her; their new relationship now consisted of the both of them getting into constant arguments with each other. There were certain periods in their “new” relationship where Lizzie’s mother believed to have made some progress with her but, Lizzie’s temper changed drastically. This could be seen when they both of them went to the mall to get Lizzie a pair of jean and shoes that she wanted, she seemed to be very content with the purchase, therefore in a good mood.
