10 simple rules for fathers to avoid mistakes when raising their daughters

Fathers can do a great job of raising their daughters. Especially if they have a guide on how to be super parents. But usually, they're less interested in raising their daughters because they don't know how to do it and where to start. Here are 10 simple but very effective rules for young parents, collected by the authors of a magazine.

1 - Spend some time with her

For any father who wants to be there because of his daughter, this is actually the best tip. Change diapers, take her, walk with her, play with her. For example, a father of a large family often conducts blind food assessments at mealtime to make family mealtime an experience.

2 - The more "child" responsibilities you choose, the greater they become.

A woman who has a baby doesn't learn everything she wants to know about being a mom in 1 day. She learns. And so should you. So don't miss the opportunity to change a diaper or hold your child when he or she gets upset. The more you do, the better.

3 - Give her all the answers.

Forget the "ask your mother" line. The father must also answer questions. What can she ask that you can't answer? If you can't answer some questions, it's much better to find the answers together.

4 - Give your spouse help - don't wait until she asks herself.

Often, young mothers don't know how to ask for help in the ideal way, and sometimes don't even know they need it. This is the second one you need to show. Don't ask if there is anything you can do: stay with your baby, give your spouse time to shower, or go to the doctor. If you don't start taking an active role in your child's life at this point, you may always just be the one who only spends time with your daughter on the weekends.

5- Dance together before her wedding.

A father is the first man in a woman's life. When her father takes care of her, she takes care of herself, and according to psychologists, she will start looking for a man who will make her feel safe.

6- Be her daddy all week, not just on weekends.

Most likely, you go to work and stay at home with your spouse with all the kids. And on this day, after a long and difficult day, you usually don't have any energy to be a dad at all. The problem, however, is that your spouse is probably angry, too. So, yes, fatherhood, like motherhood, is a 24/7 job.

7- If she asks you to marry her, politely decline.

Somewhere between the ages of 6 and 3, she may ask you to marry her, but politely decline. Fathers often feel shy, so they distance themselves, which can affect a girl's self-esteem.

8- Teach her self-control and subjection.

This is exactly what the father teaches. According to psychologists, games involving dads and daughters are extremely important moments in a child's life. Fathers get more obedience and their rules get more respect. Daughters give special treatment to fathers both because of gender differences and because fathers usually don't pay enough attention (they spend a lot of time at work and they spend very little time at home).

9 - Kiss her and don't be shy.

Don't be afraid to seem overly sentimental - expressing your feelings is excellent for emotional health. Your children and you. Respond to her successes the way your heart tells you to, not based on gender stereotypes. There's nothing wrong with grinning when your daughter draws a flower for you.

10 - Put her on your shoulders.

Do it when she's not too heavy and your spine won't hurt. If your child is too young, don't be afraid to use a backpack or carrier. Experts have shown that the relationship between father and child becomes stronger in this way.
