subject: The Bliss of Having a Healthy Father-Daughter Relationship [print this page] Being the first man that a girl comes into contact with in the world, a father plays a highly important role in shaping up her life. Since her birth and throughout her lifetime, he plays the role of a model, making it easier for her to understand the concept of "man". By sharing quality time with her, he can bring great improvements in her life.
When a daughter looks at her father, she feels that she is completely protected from any damage that could come across her way. Father, who is always by her side with an arm around her, is there to create a safe distance between her and all the harms of the world. This makes most girls refer to their fathers as being their "first love".
A father's presence in a girl's life is highly essential so that their relationship grows into a strong and healthy one. This helps in forming a bond of love and affection between both, with high levels of trust. She also learns the appropriate behaviors and deeds that she should follow to make her father proud.
The father serves as a beam of guidance in every path in life starting from the time the daughter takes her first baby steps to the time she makes huge strides in life. He is always there to tell her the difference between right and wrong, and to help her decide between choosing the better options.
Being at her side to celebrate all her accomplishments and to provide a shoulder when she fails, a father should always be there to assure his daughter that he can be counted on.
A positive change can result in the lives of both father and daughter if they learn to accept each other, respect opposing views and provide encouragement at all times.
The fact that they are being loved by each other and trusted for every little thing, may result in bliss and happiness like nothing else.
