12 Simple Rules to Avoid Mistakes When Raising a Daughter

Is there anything cuter than a father who admires his daughter? Maybe, a father who takes great care of his daughter. But often, fathers are less interested in raising daughters just because they have no idea how to do it and where to begin. “How do I play with her? What are we supposed to talk about? What do I do?!”

But fathers can do a great job of raising daughters. Especially if they have a guide on how to become a super parent. Wanna know why you shouldn’t be a macho dad? Or why it’d be a good thing for a young girl to see that dads also do dishes, dust furniture, whatever it might be?

SUMMARY:
– Spend time with her. Start as soon as she’s born. This will help her understand your role as a dad and that fathers are just as important as mothers in a child’s life.
– Of course, spending time together and playing is great and all, but dads shouldn’t just be there for the fun parts. You need to help out with baby duties too, and that includes changing diapers and potty-training.
– There’s no need to be the silent type that only engages with his daughter whenever she needs a dollhouse built or anything else that requires physical strength. Don’t be afraid to show your soft side.
– Any time she has a question, try to answer it. Even if you don’t know the answer, look it up!
– When your daughter is talking to you in her toddler gibberish, let her get it all out, encourage her, and engage in the “conversation” as best as you can.
– You absolutely can show your daughter love in the form of hugs and kisses. You wouldn’t be doing her any favors by keeping your distance because she’ll feel like she’s more loved by her mom.
– Just like with baby duties, the household stuff isn’t just something that Mom always takes care of, and your daughter should see that for herself.
– Being a parent is a full-time job, and you don’t get breaks. Kids don’t get the concept of work or work exhaustion – they only see it as “My dad doesn’t ever spend time with me.”
– Carry her on your shoulders. Kids love it, so you better do it before they get too heavy!
– When it comes to discipline, you don’t wanna be a tyrant, but you also don’t wanna spoil them. The only thing that works is to teach your kids about self-control and that actions have consequences.
– Politely refuse when she asks you to marry her. Kids this age don’t really understand what “marry” means. Don’t take it too weirdly, , and just explain to her that you’re married to her mom, and someday she’ll marry someone else if she wants.

  2. I became a father to a daughter. She is the busiest 2 year old I’ve ever met. The downside is that I’m in the military so I’m not around all the time. But every Saturday (if I’m not out in the field or deployed) morning we have what I call “Muffins and Cartoons time” where I get up around 7 and wake up my daughter, and we go to the living room and share a Costco Blueberry Muffin while watching Mickey Mouse or Bluey or whatever for about an hour to let my wife sleep in. It’s by far my favorite time spending with my daughter.

    But my tip for dads is just find ways to spend time with your daughter if you work all the time. For me it’s Saturday Morning cartoons and blueberry muffins. I also (if the weathers nice) take her on runs with me (as I said my job requires I stay in shape), and I also encourage her to help me with chores. Even if all she does is hand me clothes to fold, or stuff to put into boxes and bags.

  3. He forgot the part where you gotta tell her that she was an accident and he didn't really mean to have her

  4. I m just a random 15 years old boy that typed how to raise a girl cause he felt like it

  7. I love my sister's kid. I can't have any children so I spoil my niece with everything she wants

  11. I play Minecraft and Mario Kart with my daughter. She played COD with me and got 2nd place. She's 8.

  12. My wife is pregnant with our first child and today I found out that we’re having a baby girl. I’m so happy but at the same time I am extremely scared. Even though we have yet to meet, I feel like I love her so much.

  15. You know, this makes me feel confident in becoming a parent. Even if I don't have a partner yet. I vow to raise my child to the fullest extent of their life. That means I will follow all of the tips, advice, and tricks that will benefit me and the child as a whole.

    Of course, I am too young to think about it now. But it is exhilarating to imagine the possibility of being there for them.

  20. This should be called common sense things you probably already know. "Spend time with your daughter" who would of thought.

  24. I felt that connection even before she was born but after she was born I knew she was the light of my life. I did it all bottles diapers bathes you name it. I show her all the love and attention she can stand. Watching her grow up is going to be hard because I want her to stay my little princess baby girl forever.

  25. Ok so I'm 14, and i have a question..
    How does fathers feel when their daughters feel distant from him, I mean would fathers feel than distant too?
