Top 10 simple rules for fathers to avoid making mistakes when raising their daughter.
Fathers can do a great job raising daughters. Especially if they have a guide on how to become a super parent. But they are often somewhat less interested in raising their daughters, because they have no idea how to do it and where to start. Here are 10 simple but very effective rules collected by the authors of the magazine for young parents.
1- Spend some time with her.
Here's actually the best tip for any dad who wants to be there for his daughter. Change diapers, pick her up, walk her and play with her. For example, the father of a large family in England often blindly evaluates the food during the meal to make the family meal an experience.
2- The more "child" responsibilities you choose, the bigger.
A woman who has given birth will not learn everything she needs to know to be a mom in just 1 day. She is studying. So you should. Therefore, do not miss the opportunity to change the diaper or wear your baby when he is fussy. The more you do, the better.
3- Give her all the answers.
Forget the words, "Ask your mother." The father must also answer the questions. What can he ask that you can't answer? And in the event that you cannot answer something, it is much better to search for the answer together.
4- Give your wife help - don't wait for her to ask.
Young mothers often don't know how to ideally ask for help, and sometimes they don't even know they need help. That's the second thing you have to do. Don't ask if there is something you can do: stay with the baby, give your husband time to shower, or see a doctor. If you don't start taking an active role in your child's life at this point, you can always remain the person who just hangs out with your daughter on the weekends.
5- Dance together before her wedding day.
Dad is your first boyfriend in a woman's life. And when her dad takes care of her, then she will take care of herself and, according to psychologists, she will start looking for a guy who can make her feel safe.
6- Be her dad throughout the week and not just on weekends.
Most likely, you will go to work, together with your husband will stay at home with the whole child. And on the day that follows a long and demanding day, you often just don't have the energy to be a father. But the thing is, your husband is most likely running on fumes as well. So yes, fatherhood, like motherhood, is a 24/7 job.
7- Politely decline if he asks you to marry him.
At some stage between 6 and 3 she might ask you to marry her, politely decline. Fathers are often ashamed, so they distance themselves, which can affect a girl's self-esteem.
8- Nurture her self-control and object.
That's exactly what dad teaches. And according to psychologists, games with fathers and daughters are extremely important moments in a child's life. Fathers are listened to more and their rules are more respected. Daughters approach their fathers in a special way, both because of gender differences and because the father's attention is usually insufficient (he spends a lot of time at work and less often at home).
9- Kiss her, don't be shy.
Don't worry about coming across as too sentimental - Expressing your feelings is fantastic for emotional well-being. Both your child's and yours. Respond to her achievements exactly as your heart informs you. There's nothing wrong with grinning when your daughter draws you a flower.
10- Take her on your shoulders.
Do this until it is too heavy and your spine hurts. And if your child is too small, don't be afraid to use a backpack or a scarf. Experts have proven that the relationship between father and child is stronger this way.
