6 Daddy tips for raising a daughter
.⠀⠀
👩 tell her she is beautiful AND smart - it’s well known that Fathers play a significant role in helping develops their daughters self esteem. Help her understand that her self-worth is not reliant on her physical appearance so that she learns not to base the value of others on their appearance. ⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
💓 Love her Mummy - and show her you love her mummy. Parents are the largest influence in this area and how you treat your spouse reinforces the kind of relationship that your child will seek in their adulthood. Love her mother, treat her with respect, and don’t be afraid to express your love for her in front of your children⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
😊 Spend time with her. Give her a Bottle whilst you’re watching the rugby and read her a princess book before bed. We know dads have it tough sometimes balancing work, looking after their family and being there at the right time...so cherish these moments and she will too. ⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
😜 Don’t be afraid to act silly. Dress us as Elsa from Frozen or have a dance party to Disney song. And embrace it. Seeing her daddy having fun and being silly shows that you value her happiness over your own pride ⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
🏉 Share your hobbies with her. You might presume (wrongly) that she bas no interest in your car magazine or your weekend cricket match. But what if she does? What if she cherished those moments with her daddy and looks up to you and wants to be just like you? It does happen! ⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
🌟 Help her reach for the stars. If she has aspirations to be a rugby star or engineer, remind her she can achieve whatever she sets her mind to. The fact she is a girl shouldn’t ever come into it. ⠀⠀
