I will start this article with a confession. I never had a good relationship with my father, probably because he was too focused on my career than my feelings, my friends, etc. He never looked at me with compassion when I was sad, or when I got a bad mark.He always said :”You could have been better”.

I read this title today in a newspaper: “A young girl’s relationship with her family, especially with her father, may influence at what age she enters puberty, according to Vanderbilt University researchers”. In my oppinion this is true.Girls with a very good relationship with their parents/ father tend to develop later, and on the other side, girls with a cold or non-supportive relationship with their parents/father tend to develop at an earlier age.

Also, fathers can make such a difference in a their daughters’ lives. First of all, who’s the first man that girls make contact with in their childhood? Their father! And as a consequence the relationship with him sets the tone for all male-female relationships she will have in the future. Fathers are role models for their daughters.

Along with the serious responsibility of being your child’s first and most influential role model, parents should also take some time to have fun with their children.Spend some time together, cook together, but most importantly: take time to talk one to each other.

The Father-Daughter relationship teaches her what value she has as a person; her identity and self-worth develops from how you interact with her.If she is neglected by her father, she will learn to neglect herself too.
I have an advice for all fathers in the world: Be aware that you are shaping your daughter’s future by how you relate with her.
