How A Father Can Impact His Daughter’s Life
From the beginning of our lives, Fathers are important personality figures for us. We all grew up wishing to be like our father one day. They are amazing, we all love them, especially the daughters.
The peculiarity of the father-daughter bond is unique. Not something only fantasised about in movies or on TV. We all must have once come across the clip from Masterchef Junior in which a contestant struggles to open a jar in a time competition. At the last moment, she reached out to her father in the crowd who opened the jar in a finger snap.
If you haven’t already, watch the heartwarming moment here.
This moment alone is enough to highlight the unreal importance of the father-daughter relationship.
You must be thinking what’s so special in a thing as petty as opening a jar? Certainly, it isn’t about opening a jar, it is about the trust she had in him. How many people are there in our lives we reach out to when we are stuck? In the crucial moment of her life, she chose her father to help her. And, that gentleman without even questioning a bit helped his daughter right away, understanding her circumstances and the needs of the moment. It showed how he has always been there for her for her support, for her confidence, like a firm wall, he combined every ounce of strength of years of strength he had gathered. And his proud face at the end showed how he succeeded in life.
Elisa Fernandes (the contestant) won and with her, her father won, his years of struggle to raise an extraordinary daughter succeeded. This is only one story and there are thousands of more.
There is a significant portion of a child's future dependent on how their father treats them, communicates with them, spends valuable time with them, and creates a heartfelt bond with them.
Dear Fathers, want to know if you succeeded at parenting or not. I have a trick! But, you have to listen closely. Are you all ears? Hmm..!
Ask yourself, what if your daughter gets married to a person like you? (before asking yourself this question, it is advisable to critically examine yourself, first)
How will you feel?
How your daughter will feel? Will it be the happiest/not-so-happy/worst day of her life?
If your answer is ‘happiest’, Congrats! You’re a brilliant dad! Your daughter must be so lucky to have you. And, I hope every father gets the answer ‘happiest’. If not, there is still time, you can change and evolve. After all, we are all human beings, we all commit errors/mistakes and you know what! The best are those who realize their mistakes and never repeat them.
