You must have heard that boys are more attached to their mothers, and girls to their fathers. Fathers play a huge role in the lives of their daughters. And the relationship between them will determine the character of the girl, her goals and even the choice of a life partner in the future. So what should a real father do?
Be a man
Little children are very attentive to the behavior of their parents. For girls, daddy's lifestyle is a kind of authority. Very often, girls find husbands who look like their fathers. And even already in family life, they compare their relationship and those that were between mom and dad. That is why the father must be a real man, because he will soon have to get acquainted with the same son-in-law.
Be a protector
Every little girl and adult girl wants to feel secure. Very often, when fathers do not cope with this task, the older brother takes over the role, if there is one, of course. The daughter should feel safe.
Forget what criticism is
If a mother scolds her daughter, then for her it is not as painful as if the father did it. Comments about hairstyles, figures, appearance in general are perceived very painfully if they come from the lips of the first beloved man - dad. In the future, they develop into a huge pile of complexes. On the contrary, it is necessary to teach the daughter to love and respect herself.
Highlight baby's strengths
Instead of criticism, it is better to pay attention to the child's virtues. Focus on them. The daughter should feel confident and invincible - this is how she will grow up.
Teaching useful things
It is the father who must explain to his daughter how this cruel world works. He must prepare her for difficulties and show her how to deal with them correctly. Girls learn from their fathers that any problem can be solved.
Show me how to be successful
And you need to do this by your own example. Every daughter wants to be proud of her father. Purposefulness, perseverance, independence - these are the qualities that the baby will definitely “take” from her father. So make sure you have them.
