August 13th, 2011

If dads are always working, disciplining, serious, they will have a hard time believing love is sometimes light hearted
Older  daughters may think silliness is not cool, the key is to have fun
Games and siliiness are simply mechanisms to achieve fun and laughter

Teach your daughters to take their work and calling seriously - but not themselves

Being fun and silly requires a degree of vulnerability that many men and women struggle with
Tell jokes but do not poke fun of each other - this is forbidden

If you make your daughter cry, you have gone over the line
Apologize - don't tell her to stop being too sensitive
Key Phrase: Teach your daughters to take their work and calling seriously - but not themselves
