The father is the main man in the life of a growing baby.
So, what the girl should hear from her dad.
1. "I'm listening to you"
The dad's task is to listen carefully to what the baby says to him, to be sincerely interested and keep the conversation going. So he shows that the daughter's words matter, and she herself is important and interesting to him. This will save her from a lot of complexes in the future.
2. "You are very beautiful"
Moms teach girls to "make beauty", but from dad they expect marks, compliments and praise. If it seems to the father that somewhere the daughter has gone too far with makeup or clothes, then it should be said softly and delicately. Also, in no case should you insult a child for being overweight or too thin - this is fraught with eating disorders in the child.
For a dad, a daughter should always be the most beautiful - and it is desirable that she heard this from him more often.
3. "You can't do that"
It is the dad who shows his daughter an example of how a man should treat a woman - by the example of relations with herself and with her mother. And, of course, it is highly desirable that this be respectful behavior, where everyone listens and hears, cares and trusts each other.
If someone offended his daughter, acted unfairly with her, dad should not just comfort and substitute strong shoulder, but also to explain that no one has the right to treat her in this way, she deserves more and the best.4. "I love you"
Daddy's love should be with the girl by default, she should not be "earned" by good studies, exemplary behavior and etc. Only unconditional acceptance and love allows a girl to grow up confident, courageous and able to love and be beloved.
If a daughter grows up deprived of her father's love, then she tries to make up for her lack in relationships with men, which does not lead to anything good - only addicted and toxic relationships.
5. "I'll be there"
Dad is that reliable rear that a girl should have all her life, her support and unconditional support. The girl moves forward through life, stumbles and makes mistakes, but she should know that dad is near - and will always understand, protect and accept her.
