Remember to always be Sweden when your daughter and wife get into an argument. That's good but unachievable advice. My wife and the 4yo are already at each other. Mostly my wifes fault. But it's mutual too.
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.

You get little kids for about the first 4-6yrs then they start to become independent, do their owns thigs type of people as the World tends to mold them. Use those first 4-6yrs to be a outstanding model for them and let them experience a lot of fun. My little girly just turned 6 and she's rough, tough, and rugged as they come but she still needs to be picked up, hugged, and kissed but she prefers to wrestle, fight, and be chased. To her credit she has a 9yr old brother that she adores and she follows his steps where ever he goes and not a soul better mess with her because he's watching.
Most importantly tell them you love them everyday even when you want to throat punch them.

My daughter is 17 will be 18 in June, it has been an adventure. She loves hunting as much as any boy that I know. She will get up and do her hair and makeup before she goes hunting. She says that she might shoot something and need her picture taken. I used to complain but now I just let her do it the way she wants. She doesnāt like anyone that spends money in her, she works at Simmons sporting goods, and is probably the sweetest person you will ever meet.
My advice is ā¦they normally wind up acting and behaving just like the daddy, so be patient. You as a dad will not have all the answers for everything, but thatās where mom comes in
Let them walk ...and grow them big

Congratsā¦no greater accomplishment than raising a daughter!
My daughter got married a couple of weeks ago, donāt blinkā¦.she will be getting married before you realize it. Alway be the man you want her to marry, and teach her how a husband treats his wife through example! Teach her to love and fear the Lord, to serve others, to tithe, that she is worthy of your unconditional love, that when she makes a mistake it is just that a mistake it is not who she is ---- teach her a love of reading and learning.

If you donāt want her to act like the world, donāt let her learn everything from the world. Iām thankful my two daughters are follers of Jesus; I am guiding my daughter through the Resolution for Women because her mom wonāt. But sheās intrigued by the change she saw in my stepson after I took him through Resolution for Men.
Great post by woodleyrd above!

My daughter (step-daughter actually) is now 24.
She has been mine since she was 3. She'll tell you so too!
Just be a strong male role model and love her and raise her to know and trust the Lord.
Let her her know you are her champion and protector.
She'll know what a strong man looks like when it comes time to find one of her own.
Al the rest will work itself out ... Congratulations

When she and mom are talking and mom gives you the look, walk away, donāt say a word, itās called code. My little girl set her mind when she was fifteen that she was going to be a doctor and has done nothing but studied and Interned with doctors through out the country and scored a 529 out out of 530 on the MCAT last year and is on her way to the school of her dreams, Vandy for MD-PHD for ten years and getting paid to do it. Bottom line, donāt shoot her goals down no matter how out of reach they may seem

Let your kids see you hug, kiss and love your wife. Make sure they see you in church, worshipping God and on your knees.
