Have you realized the most important thing in a young girl’s life? It is her FATHER!

A father carves the way for their daughter’s lives, and when a father strengthens and rebuilds his bond with his daughter, it shapes her life and his for the better. But how ever much a father loves his daughter if he doesn’t realize what a girl child usually expects of him, his relationship would be strained.

Girls seek for a sense of protection and safety from their fathers. They feel that fathers should be available when needed. The real value of a father in a girl’s life is that it is from fathers that girls learn about males in the world; how they think, act and speak. Thus girls would like their fathers to be gentle, respectful and allow them to be assertive towards them. And fathers should realize that they are creating an image in their daughters mind about how a boy / husband will act, thus set a good example for her future relationships.

A girl would like to see patience in their fathers. A father who is patient would be a good listener, not assuming half way through, understand what she is going through, and be there more as a friend than a parent.

A daughter would like her father to get involved in activities with her. To spend quality time with her in activities she enjoys like out door games, volunteering work, school work and household chores. A girl looks up to her father for guidance and encouragement in her activities, and what better way to show your support, than through involvement in the same.

Girls would like to be respected and loved by their fathers. Though fathers love their daughters they very rarely show it, while in reality girls miss the unconditional love from their fathers, unlike their mothers' love, which is very open and tangible.

Girls like to see their fathers speak in words of hope, with a vision for their future. They love to hear positive remarks from their fathers, which in turn could determine their destiny.

In Short what girls would like to see in their fathers can be summarized as;

* Strength – Protection (Physically and mentally)
* Patience
* Interest in her life (Guidance, Encouragement, Support)
* Respect and Love
* Vision

These are just s few of many qualities expected from fathers by their daughters, to have a rich relationship, which will result in a fruitful future to both.
