Being a good parent: how to improve the father-daughter relationship

The fact that, as a parent, never was a young teenager does not have to be an obstacle to improving the bond between father and daughter. If you want your daughter to become a confident woman herself, you have to be at his side.

Many men feel insecure and even fearful, to talk to their daughters about issues of the body or physical appearance, and think: "How can I help this it is not up to me.

Do not worry about not having all the answers. Instead, talk to her about the best way to solve the problem and encourage her to share your thoughts and possible solutions. Guide her and have trust in their own abilities that will give them the strength to face the challenges in their lives and build their self-esteem. 

Being a good parent means increasing the confidence of your daughter in her physical appearance and body. Many of the comments directed toward adolescents are about their appearance, for example; "You look very pretty". But as a parent, you know your daughter is much more than a pretty face, you see his intelligence, character and talent. Let her know everything you see it and be more specific in your praise, that you will earn points with her; for example: "Last week I saw how you solved that problem with your sister, you were intelligent and thoughtful, that made me feel very proud of you."

When you talk to your daughter and leave out the issue of outside aid that focuses on all his qualities and feel more confident as a person. Ironically, not to mention your body will help to increase confidence in him.

What makes a good parent? Support your instincts
Have you ever heard your daughter complain: "My dad never listens to me He just tells me to do.” When your child hears you, avoid imposing what you think or say, since this can only distance yourself from it without seeing your point of view.

The first thing to do is assess your emotions. For example, show that hear and understand what it says: "I understand you're hurt and angry."

This will show your daughter that you take it seriously and help you trust your own feelings, building her self-knowledge and confidence. At this stage of his life, the teenager develops its opinion on herself, which can often be based on much of what they think their parents feel about her. Your self-esteem depends on how you feel valued, respected and accepted.
