It is also another reminder of why fathers must pay attention and invest more time in their kids, not just to connect with them, but also to help them become a better version of themselves.
3 reasons fathers must spend time with their daughters
- You get to know them: Spending quality time with your daughter will help you get to know her better. After all you are the flag bearer of her first real interaction with the opposite sex. So a one-on-one allows you to share your aspirations for her and with her and vice versa. It will also help her develop positive ideas about men and relationships in her own life.
- It makes them stronger: Fathers can also greatly effect a girls' personality. If he is free and confident enough to discuss life's crucial matters with her, she can become more confident and self-reliant. You can always encourage her to follow her dreams and let her know that you are there to support her. This greatly boosts their confidence.
- You can set the bar high: Your relationship with your own wife is the standard your kids will want to adopt. So if you set the bar high and hold your relationship with your wife important, your daughter will want a similar relationship filled with respect and love.
