Jim Valvano once said, “My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.” Every father plays a unique role in his daughter’s life. Like a superman in her eyes, the father has the responsibility to show her what a “real man” is and to give her confidence to face the world with happiness and strength. Moreover, a father is the first man in his daughter’s life. Here are the principles every father should teach his daughter to prove her dad is the best man in the world.
1. She is very special
Every person is special by the nature. The main point is to realize this fact. The father has to help his daughter find her identity in life and understand that she is special and unique in all meanings. A good father should love and accept his daughter the way she is. Surely, it will make her feel happy and all-rounded person. Moreover, your pure parental love teaches your kids love themselves, others and help them gain correct values and vision of the world.
2. She deserves the best in this life
I think every father knows that his little princess deserves the best in this world. He always tries to increase his daughter’s self-esteem and persuade her to believe that she deserves respect, love and appreciation. Furthermore, daughters should learn to enjoy and value the present moment that is full of wondrous things. If you want your daughter to be happy, then teach her to stop obsessing about what people think of her and fully realize that she can open up to all the good she deserves in this life.
3. She is strong enough
One of the most important things fathers should teach their daughters is that they are strong enough to live and overcome difficulties. She should be confident in her abilities and not to be afraid of failure. Teach her that sometimes she will face ups and downs, but she can’t let the fear stop her from trying something. Nowadays the society is full of confident and all-sufficient ladies. There are no more male-oriented principles. Fathers are the people of high authority for their daughters. That’s why they should teach daughters to be physically and mentally strong.
4. She should speak her mind freely
I understand that it is very difficult to overcome the fear and get the freedom to say what you really feel and think. When I was a child I often found myself afraid to ask questions. Later I tried to avoid hurting, disappointing and angering others by my frank feelings and thoughts. Many girls are tender and shy creatures, therefore fathers should help their daughters get rid of hesitation. Teach your daughter speak her mind around the family and let her opinion be heard.
5. She should be self-disciplined
Self-discipline is one of the most important and useful skills everyone should possess. It’s up to you to help your daughter become a self-disciplined personality. Self-discipline means self-control, which is a sign of inner strength and having more in control of your life. The father’s sternness will be enough to teach the daughter to be disciplined. Try not to be a “nice parent” or too harsh with your daughter.
