Who Is The First Man In A Little Girl's Life?
A Dad will be the first man in a little girl’s life. Trust there will be moments when he will embarrass her and make her cringe. But, trust he will also love her, protect her and share a bond with her that no other man can ever replace.
From the moment she enters the world… a Dad is the first person in little girls life. On the blog today, I’m sharing the importance of a fully developed father- daughter relationship. When you become a Dad, all of a sudden, your world becomes bigger and brighter.
As an infant your daughter will have basic needs. But as she grows up, she will need her Dad more and more. Sadly, as girls get older and peer pressure begins, they start worrying about all sorts of issues. Such as self-esteem, body image, relationships with friends, school works, boys, the opinions of others and so on. Statistics have proven that girls who have a Dad who is involved in their life is far more confident and successful that those who do not.
Cherish the moments. Cherish the simple things in life. Here are 9 moments that a proud Dad can share with his little girl.
Tell her that you love her. Look her directly in the eye and mean it. Because, the day that she replies with “I love you too, Daddy” will melt your heart.
Teach her to ride a bicycle.
Dance to her favorite music with her. Please don’t wait until her wedding day.
Take her on a “date”. Enjoy lunch, dinner or better yet take her shopping. She may be little but what woman doesn’t like shopping. Do this once a month. It will allow her the experience of practicing with you for a date when she gets older.
It’s Okay to say, “yes” sometimes and spoil her.
Respect all women in and out of her presence. By doing this you are teaching her how a woman deserves to be treated. Especially her Mom. By showing love and respect to her Mom, your daughter will recognize clues that are right or wrong in future relationships.
When she needs you, be present and be there. However; when she needs space, give it to her. When you make a mistake apologize.
Share your childhood stories with her.
Tell her that she is beautiful and watch the twinkle in her eye and the smile on her face
We know that you want what’s best for her, so be involved in her life, talk to her, listen to her, dance with her, even give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek once in a while. Allow your daughter to know her Worth. Know that she is better than that. And because she is loved to never to settle or compromise her morals or values. Remember she was given to you as a gift from God… so treat her as such!
