Letter From A Father To His Newborn Daughter

What a father can teach his daughter cannot fit in a whole book, nor in one heart. The father who is present, who is an expert in affection, capable of that sweet magic that makes him grow, that fascinates and excites, knows that having a daughter is something very special. This is the letter every dad should write to their newborn daughter.

One thing we all know is that having a child fills us with happiness. However, as time passes we discover that it is not all that easy, that the challenges are many, that the obligations are endless  and that the sacrifices are necessary.

Many of the dreams that we often have at the beginning can then evaporate, but the desire to create new ones will never disappear, compatible with the wishes and needs of our children.

Today at Siamo Mamme  we want to tell you those desires that every father must not only keep in mind but must also satisfy. Which undoubtedly many dads who read us will already be doing every day, because they are an indisputable part in the life of their little treasure. And that treasure will become, in the very near future, a great woman thanks to them.

I am your dad and you are my little girl. But I know this is not enough, I have to prove it to you

Being a father is easy. In fact, it can be the simplest thing of all. However, a good father soon learns that this very special title is earned over time and that it must be demonstrated in a constant, patient and indestructible way. Being a very close person and a reference for this little girl who has just been born.

• Dad is in every new word he learns and in every fall made as he learns to walk the world.
• Dad is not a big child to play with, dad will play with his little girl to make her happy. But he will guide her, look after her and advise her as a mature, worthy and happy adult who loves himself and who, above all else, loves his daughter.

Dad also has a sensitive side to him, and he’ll prove it to his daughter by putting himself in his shoes every day. He will understand her, will try to understand her needs and see the world with her eyes, even if it often seems bizarre to him.

He will do this because that is how he can best help her. This is how he will earn the best title of all, the one that is not given in universities but in life: “dad”.

I will keep all the promises I make to you

Every boy and girl needs to grow up in a stable, safe and intelligent way. If the father makes promises to his daughter that he later fails to keep, it will have consequences for her.

If her dad tells her that he will always be by her side and later pushes her into the background, she will begin to believe that the world she lives in is unsafe, that it is painful and that the promises made are like the seasons, they go they come.

A responsible father understands that the promises he makes are a real priority.

I will teach you to be strong and brave, not just to be my sweet little girl

A good father knows very well that in this world, being nice does not bring happiness. For this reason, even if in his eyes his little girl will always be the most beautiful and the most perfect in the universe, he will guide her to make her become a strong and courageous woman who fights for her dreams, the ones she will choose.

She will also want her to be able to look after herself, to make her voice heard, to defend her opinions and to live by values, the ones she will choose. The father will be her guide to consolidate the foundations for good self-esteem, he will guide her by giving her those teachings through which she can discover the world beyond what is reflected in the mirror.

He will teach her that true happiness comes from the heart and not from a pretty face.

I will teach you not to be afraid

During the first years of life, the dad will be that superhero who defeats nightmares, the monsters that hide in the closet and those insecurities that arise with the first steps or the first days at school.

However, little by little and day after day  the father will become the guide who with his advice makes fears disappear as if by magic, to allow the decision, the audacity and the courage with which a child achieves her goals to emerge. every day crossing the barbed wire of fear and indecision.

You will always be the love of my life, but I will set you free for you to meet yours

It has always been said that for a father, no boyfriend is enough for his daughter. However, a good father knows how to let his children free so that they can build their own future. By choosing the people they love, even allowing them to make mistakes from time to time, if they can learn something new from them.

They will not punish them for those mistakes, nor will they close the doors in their face. A good father always understands, is always by his daughter’s side and will whisper to her in a low voice that love is an adventure that is always worth it. Although, yes, he must be wise and choose a special person, never forgetting what his value is.
