The most common myth of fatherhood is that all men dream of a son. Of course, everything boyish is obviously clear and close to dad, so it can be easier for a father in some matters with a boy. However, nothing beats being a girl’s dad. Daughters, by the way, male care and affection is simply necessary in order to grow up a real woman with the "right" female values. Of course, you need to raise a girl and a boy in different ways. And if everything is clear to sons and dads, then daughters need to “attach instructions”. Especially for the dads who raise their daughters, these 25 rules are written.
- If the daughter wants to say something - listen to her, even if it is just something banal. No matter how old she is, appreciate the moments when she wants to share something.
- Tell her daily that she is beautiful. Notice the details of her appearance, fill up with compliments. A girl must grow with confidence in her attractiveness.
- Do not worry about the fact that you will not be able to maintain close relations with your daughter, because girls are always closer to mothers. Mom has her own functions, and papa has her own, and a warm relationship with dad is no less important for a girl, they just will be completely different.
- Do not yell at your daughter and, especially, do not punish physically. Rude treatment by the father for the girl is a trauma for life that can cause problems in relations with men in the future. If you could not restrain yourself and raised your voice, ask for forgiveness, admit your wrong.
- Pamper your daughter, do not be afraid to spoil her with toys or gifts. However, teach her to use material goods properly and get rid of what is no longer useful. For example, when buying a new toy, a couple of old ones can be sent to kindergarten or charitable organizations.
- Be a gentleman with your daughter so that she feels like a princess next to dad.
- Even if her daughter has already grown up, it is important for her sometimes to feel like a little girl again, to receive paternal care and attention.
- Physical contact is very important for the girl. It literally needs to be carried on hand, hugged whenever possible.
- Often girls are interested in "male" activities. A little daughter can break with you to collect furniture or repair a car. Do not limit her, because for her to help dad is a great honor and reason for pride.
- Come up with some kind of joint activity that will become your tradition. This can be a game in which the daughter plays only with dad (for example, a pillow fight), or something from everyday household chores: a walk with the dog, morning exercises or combing after bathing. The main thing is that you always do it together.
- Be always support and protection for a daughter, regardless of her age and problems. Protect her from hooligans in the sandbox and from unjust teachers at school. Even becoming an adult and being away from home, the girl should feel that dad can pull her out of any alteration.
- Usually, dads are not fans of cleaning and collecting toys.All the better it is for you to accustom your daughter to order and, overcoming yourself, together with her, eliminate the mess in the room.
- Keep yourself in control when going with your daughter to the clinic for examination or vaccination, or to the dentist. People in a white bathrobe only want good, even if their actions hurt their daughters. It would not hurt the girl to learn to be patient with various medical manipulations - in adulthood, this is definitely useful.
- Find time and opportunity to go with your daughter somewhere only together. A theater, a circus, a children's amusement park or an ice cream parlor is not important, the main thing is that this is only your time.
- Never contrast yourself with your mother, do not cancel her prohibitions and generally act in concert with your spouse. It’s very important for a daughter to feel that her parents are “from the same camp”.
- Dedicate your daughter to your interests. It is possible that the girl will be seriously interested in hockey or cars.
- Do not forbid the girl to cry. Tears are an absolutely normal reaction to stress, especially for a girl. Let the girl cry on your shoulder at will and appreciate that at these moments she wants to be near you.
- Tell your daughter tales. Let the calm reading of fairy tales be left to mother, because improvisation is closer to fathers. Tell fairy tales in your own way, invent new heroes, do it funny. Daddy's fairy tales daughter will remember all his life.
- Do not take your daughter as a crystal vase. Girls no less than boys love to rush, tear off their knees, jump on a trampoline, climb trees.
- Be an authority for your daughter. A girl must respect her father, and other family members should help maintain your authority in front of the child.
- Be sure to praise the girl. It is not difficult to find a reason for praise: even if a daughter has not reached perfection in her occupation, one can always praise for zeal. The most important thing: praise the daughter sincerely, and not “for show”. Children cannot stand lies and hypocrisy.
- Let her choose her own clothes and decide what to go. The main thing is that the outfit is seasonal, it is better not to delve into the rest of the father.
- Learn to fasten numerous buttons, buttons, zippers, make ponytails and distinguish “front” and “back” from dresses and blouses. Sometimes you have to dress your daughter or help her with dressing.
- Know how to keep your daughter’s secrets, because the most valuable thing is the trust of the child.
- Do not forget that giving flowers for the holidays is now necessary not only for the wife, but also for the daughter, even if she is only 2 years old.

My husband dreamed of a daughter, now she has no souls. And I agree that this is really a myth. I’ll have to give my husband 25 rules to read. My dad also wanted a son, but however, when I was born he loved me very much and now takes great care of me. So do not be afraid to tell your husband the gender of the child.
My brother is raising a daughter alone, I must give him this article to read. I noticed for my niece with her growing up that she was becoming a little rude, “kid” I would put it that way. I am sure this is because the father does not fully understand what his daughter needs and is sometimes lost. So, I am of the opinion that you need to look for either a new wife, or study literature on education, so that the girl grows self-sufficient and self-confident.
In order for a girl in her teens to trust dad, she needs to try, in childhood, this is simple. I never went to the theater with my father or just somewhere, not from what I did not want, he never called. He wanted a son, but it turned out to be a girl, probably because of this he did not know how to educate me correctly, so dear men, no matter what gender your child is, give him love and attention. I ask my husband to give my daughter what I missed all my childhood
