Developing A Good Single Father – Daughter Relationship by 9jamum(f): 2:18pm On Sep 19, 2013
A single naija father, or any dad at that can develop a good father – daughter relationship. The bond between a father and a daughter can not be over emphasized thus a few tips to help ensure that the bond not only exist but remains strong for life.

There are some tips to help strengthen the relationship between father and daughter

1. Communication: Learning to communicate with your daughter is a very vital part of bonding with her. Its not that difficult. It does not take so much actually. Little things leaves a lasting impression on the hearts of daughters. You might start by doing things together. Find the time, create the environment for both of you. Go shopping together, buy her gifts ( they love blings and shiny , pinky stuffs).

2. It is important to be be patient with her. As she comes of age, a lot of changes will be going on in her body and she craves to be understood most especially by you, her hero. These hormones could lead to tempers running wild, be calm and try to understand her different moods.: Hormones are running wild and so will tempers. So you may have to listen more

3. Be her best friend. Treat her as your friend. Share in her thought. Listen for her opinions , they matter so much to her.

4. Treating your daughter as an equal will go a long way to strengthening the bond between a father and daughter. Do not keep this attitude that she knows nothing. Children these days have become more sensible and know what they are doing.

5. Be a mediator: If your daughter is facing problems with her mother, you are to be there present as a mediator between the two females. It doesn’t matter if she is your ex’s or not. She is your daughter and that matters the most

6. Trust your daughter. It is common knowledge that fathers then to be more protective ( mum, you are not left out too) especially when they are in their teens. The fear of their little girl all growing up and how they tend to deal with the boys can make any protective father on the protective. This need not be so. Yes, be protective but not suspicious. This will only drive your daughter further away from you.

7. Independent! Yes, your little angel needs her independence. Hard as it might seem, she is no longer a baby, daddy! Its the right time to have the “talk” Help her to learn from her mistakes too. She needs to know you have her back

8. Unconditional love. She is your own daughter. Love her unconditionally even if she makes mistakes or she is not the ideal daughter. Your love for her will make her realize herself to make the right choices in life.

9. Accept her friends: Accepting your daughter’s social circle can be a little difficult sometimes. The kind of friends she is hanging out with might come as a surprise to most father’s.

10. Spend time together: Time is the greatest bonding element. Try doing what they like the most and see the difference. They will love the way you are.

And why should the child be trusted with you? Why cant the father spend alone time with the child? Why should someone escort the father when spending time with the child. It is not only men that are abusive. If a woman has a child with a child molester or someone she cannot trust around kids. Then she has to prove the fact. Too bad. It tells a lot about her. The father has as much right to a child as the mother. smiley

the statistics actually said mothers abuse children more than men and the difference is a wide margin.

In as much as there are cases of some fathers abusing their daughters, please comment wisely. Not all men are perverts and MOST men wouldn't do such. Don't hurt others psyche, mbok cool cool

Recent studies show that girls confide more in their fathers than their mums, and girls who are close to their dads end up being more confident and lead better lives as adults.
