HOW TO BUILD A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR DAUGHTER

Parents, I am sure that you are like me – you long to have a close relationship with your daughter.

Having a daughter is one of the best things ever.

While at first, it’s diaper changes and feeding sessions— it turns into late night talks and her coming to you for advice.

I wanted to share some ways in which you can build a close relationship with your daughter. (Dad’s, don’t feel left out – these tips are for you too!)

HOW TO BUILD A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR DAUGHTER

Mom and dad, there are many ways to build a close relationship with your daughter. Here are some ideas for you to build that special bond.

BE A GOOD EXAMPLE

When it comes to building a close relationship with your daughter, you need to be a good example to her.

Show her what it is like to be there for someone and to care for them.

Be someone that your daughter wants to be around and wants to grow up to be like.

PRAY FOR YOUR DAUGHTER

Praying for your daughter is one of the best things you can do for her.

Building a close relationship with your daughter starts at a young age and builds up as time goes on.

You can start building that relationship with your daughter while she’s still in the womb by praying for her.

SPEND TIME WITH HER

Many people will tell you that it’s not about the money, it’s about the time.

Spending time with your daughter is one of the best things you can do to help build that close relationship with her.

Read with her, go for a walk, color a picture, play a game, bake together, go fishing – it really does not matter what you do, when you spend time with your daughter, you’re investing in her.

SHOW HER YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE FOR HER

Sometimes, especially girls, tend to shy away from their moms and dads because they have done something wrong.

Loving your daughter unconditionally is another way to build a close relationship with her.

Building a close relationship with your daughter takes time, effort and energy.

Girls will go through things you won’t necessarily understand.

Being there for your daughter is seriously one of the best things you can do for her.

I was just spending time with my friend’s two step-daughters, and they really bonded with me in just one day because I actually spent time with them and asked them questions about their life. I think many parents forget how important just listening and being interested is. All you have to do is make your kids feel like they’re really important and be interested in their lives. A great way to bond is by learning together too…

Thanks for your suggestion. I suggest : it's important to pay attention for what our daugther does, her passion, what does she like. we, parents should listen to her, encourage her for what she does, when she has got a difficulty even if she 's wrong!
