Letter From A Dad To His Little Girl – Being Parents
What we all know is that having a child gives us big dreams. However, as time passes, we discover that not everything is so easy. That the challenges are many, the obligations endless and the sacrifices constant.
Many of those dreams that we sometimes had at the beginning can evaporate. But the desire to succeed in finding new agreements to the desires and needs of our children, never.
Today in “Being Parents” , we want to detail these wishes that every father should not only have in mind, but must also fulfill. And certainly, a lot of dads who read us are already realizing them every day. Because they are an essential part of this gift in the life of their little treasure. This little treasure which in the near future will become a great woman thanks to them.
I’m your daddy and you are my daughter, but I know that’s not all, I have to show it to you
Being a father is easy. It might even be the easiest thing in the world. However, a good father knows very early on that this special title is acquired over time. And that he must constantly demonstrate that he is worthy of it, in a patient and unwavering way. He must be this close person who is a reference for this little girl who has just arrived in the world.
- Dad is present in every new word learned. And in each fall when she learns to walk in her new universe.
- Dad is not a big kid to play with. Dad will play with his little girl to make her happy. But he will guide her, he will take care of her and he will give her advice, like a mature, courageous and happy adult who loves himself. And who loves his daughter above all else.
Dad also has his sensitive side, and he will demonstrate it to his daughter by putting himself in her shoes every day. He will understand her, and will try to sense her needs, to put his feet in his shoes. Even if it sometimes seems crazy to him.
He will do it because he knows this is the best way to help him. He will thus deserve the most beautiful of all titles. The one we do not receive at university, but at the school of life: “papa”.
I will keep the promises I make to you
All little boys and girls need a balanced, stable, secure, and wise childhood. If the dad makes promises to his daughter that he won’t keep later, it will leave its mark.
If the daddy tells her that he will always be near her, and later makes her feel like someone less important, then this little girl will start to think that the world she lives in is not. not sure. She will think that it is a world that hurts, and that the promises are like the seasons. That they come and go.
A responsible father understands that his promises must be a priority.
I will teach you to be strong and courageous, and not just to be my little princess
A good father knows that in this world, being charming is not what makes you happy. This is why even if his daughter is the most beautiful and the most perfect being in the universe, he will guide her so that she becomes a strong and courageous woman. A woman who struggles to achieve her dreams, the ones she chooses for herself .
He will also want her to be able to be independent. Able to have a voice, to defend their opinions, to live according to their values. And again, those that she will choose herself . Dad will be her daily guide to establish the roots of good self-esteem. He will guide her in these learnings thanks to which she will be able to discover the world that is beyond her reflection in the mirror.
He will teach her that true happiness is born in the heart, and not in a pretty face.
I will teach you not to be afraid
The first few years, dad will be this superhero who overcomes nightmares and monsters lurking in closets. he fights the insecurities that appear during the first steps, the first days at school.
Little by little and day by day, however, Dad will be a guide with endless advice. His advice will make fears disappear as if by magic, to leave room for own decisions. And also room for the courage with which a little girl achieves feats, overcoming the barriers of fear and indecision.
You will always be the love of my life, but I’ll leave you free to meet yours
It is always said that for a dad, no man is up to his daughter. However, a good father is able to leave his children free to make their own paths. It leaves them free to choose the person they like, and also allows them to make mistakes, if they can learn from them.
He will not punish them for these mistakes, and will not close his door to them. A good father always understands, is always close, and will whisper to him in a low voice that love is an adventure that is always worthwhile. Although of course, her daughter must be wise to choose the most perfect person for her. Without forgetting to always know its value.
