It is very important that you make it about her, that you enjoy yourself too, that you DONT talk about problems on this one night unless she opens up, and that you do it on a regular basis where she knows it's coming and can plan for it. It may be strange the first time or two, but stick with it and whatever you do, NEVER cancel on her.Shantilly":2pt8cvcg said:"Date night with daddy". is what she wants and can't ever have... its different with Dads and daughters just like it is different with Moms n sons... she never wants to do anything.. i ask she says nothing.. literally.. i get the are you for real? look a lot.. which is why i make them go fishing with me..the last time her n i went she sat in the truck until i told her were changing pits and she had to fish cause it was the kiddie pool lol ..i can't fish unless she did.. after that we had a great time.. she loves the outdoors and she loves playing in the rain too So I'm guessing an all day fishing trip... where at least the last half will be funIsomade":2pt8cvcg said:She needs time. Not time alone, YOUR time. Stop everything for a day. Plan on doing something you will both enjoy. Go shopping, get a massage together, go out to eat and to a movie you are both wanting to see. Don't force any conversation. When she sees that you enjoy her as a person she will open up. Since my daughters were 4 years old I take each of them individually on "Date night with daddy". On that night they get all fixed up and they get to choose where we eat, they order anything they want, and then we just have fun. Be it shopping, movie, or whatever they want to do. It has done wonders for our relationships. Then set a regular interval for these days, or evenings as I do. It could be one Thursday per month ect. And just be dinner and movie night.
I would also recommend a book by Dr James Dobson- "Bringing Up Girls"
"Date night with daddy". is what she wants and can't ever have... its different with Dads and daughters just like it is different with Moms n sons...
God bless, I wish you and her he best.
