Weekly Dose of Life Lessons for Dads of Daughters

Posted on November 2, 2011December 22, 2011 by Guests and Former Contributors

excerpted from

 by Michael Mitchell


Ask about her day when you get home from work. Put down your smart phone and really listen to her answers. This will become one of the best parts of her day.

Teach her from an early age that the grass is always greener on the side where she waters.

Give her an affectionate nickname that only the two of you know.

Make a habit of giving her simple, inexpensive gifts. When in doubt, a balloon on a string is always a big hit.

Don’t worry if she seems to be taking a long time learning to roll over, crawl, or walk. Enjoy this stage while it lasts.

Laugh at her jokes… even the ones that aren’t really funny. Someone will buy her a book of knock-knock jokes at some point and this will all make sense.
