Dads and daughters - five great ideas
Tripp sent me this - from Fathers.com
ACTION POINTS for Committed Dadsâ— Be active yourself! Modeling is one of the best ways to help your kids have a healthy lifestyle. (Is it time to renew any New Year's resolutions?)
â— Plan a one-on-one father-daughter date during the next two weeks to celebrate Valentine's Day.
◠Teach your daughter a skill that some may not associate with girls, but that will come in handy for her―like a car or home maintenance task, or how to find help fixing something if she can't do it.
â— Without pushing her too hard, work with your daughter on a specific skill that will help her improve in a particular sport. Do the same with your son.
â— Surprise your daughter and do something with her that she enjoys, even if you don't enjoy it or don't think it's "manly": shopping, playing with dolls, dancing, etc.
