  Deep Dive on What Your Daughter Needs from You at Every Age

  Aug 6, 202625 min

  This episode is for every dad — whether your daughter is three, thirteen, or thirty. Because what she needs from you changes with every season of her life. But the thread that runs through all of it? You. In this solo episode, I'm walking you through exactly what your daughter needs from you at every stage, from the foundation years where she is learning whether the world is safe, through the teenage years where most dads quietly lose the thread, all the way into adulthood where the relationship becomes entirely voluntary and requires more intention than ever. This one is grounded in research, delivered from the daughter's perspective, and full of practical things you can do today, no matter what stage you're in. What You'll Learn: What your daughter is actually asking for in the first five years, and how to answer it Why the middle childhood years are where the habit of being her safe space gets built The biggest mistake dads make during the teenage years, and what to do instead What your adult daughter needs from you that most dads never think to give The four things that stay constant no matter how old she gets One simple thing you can do today, wherever she is right now Connect with Madeline Anderson: Website: www.girldadnetwork.com Instagram: @girldadnetwork Get a Copy of Girl Dad: https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Dad-Stories-Lessons-Daughters/dp/B0BNTXPRWQ
