The relationship you have with your daughter is like no other. From the day she is born, you play a key and unique part in her life which will influence the woman she becomes. Fathering and raising your daughter will come with many fulfilling but also challenging moments. As a dad, your role will change as she gets older. But what's important is staying engaged, and being there.
Top Tips
1. Be there. No matter the situation, let your daughter know you are always there for her, through the good and bad. Be a safe space and listen, you don't always need to provide solutions.
2. Speak words of positivity. A girl's self-esteem is built on healthy, supportive relationships, especially with her dad.
3. Make quality time a priority. Give her your undivided attention and spend time doing something together. Whether it's simple, like reading together, or taking her on a dad date.
