My daughter will be three in December. It’s been one hell of a journey so far. When are things that I’ve enjoyed most is watching this little personality grow she’s such a big spirit and she’s so strong and determined.

[@Blackdadican]

Enjoy it, bro. I have two girls and time runs like it stole something. Bless up

Recently found your channel. I'm a young dad expecting my first baby girl in September. To be honest, I always felt my first was going to be a girl. Me and my wife have no family where we live, the pregnancy has been a bit lonely for us, but to hear all this amazing advice from your channel has prepared me a lot and given me hope. Thank you Dad University!

[@Gtmustangmt]

Hope that baby girl is doing well!! They grow up fast

[@c.e.m7535]

It's better with no family around to lean on and interfere (IMHO). It makes your little tribe's bond stronger.

am a lady 26 who was traumatised in her childhood I had my mother love but didn't get father's love so my life was so hard then I decided to watch your videos ❤am happy to say am really glad that I listen 15 videos of yours and I will listen more. My decision is to parent my inner child and be there for her as the position of DAD. Wish me luck😊.

[@noahcarrico3753]

I found this your channel recently and have enjoyed your content. I am a girl dad and my oldest is a toddler. My dad came from a family of all boys and was deployed with the army for many years while my sisters were young, so sometimes I am not sure what to do in certain situations with my daughters. It is helpful to have it broken down for me in simple language. Keep up the great work!

[@DadUniversity]

Glad you enjoy the content. With a toddler, you would definitely benefit from our membership.

Im due to be a girl dad in April, an im already lucky to be an uncle to a 6 year old girl whos not only gorgeous, but also courageous, kind and selfless, a testament to her mother. Shamelessly im getting a bit of practice in these things in with her and its helped our relationship grow. Hopefully i can keep it going with my own daughter which im sure will make my emotions a lot stronger and a drive to be protective a lot stronger too

[@psyience3213]

Being physical with them is important. A lot of parents aren’t even physical with their boys. Both my son and daughter have boxing gloves and we all do jiu jitsu and wrestling. The girls love it too. Just like how a puppy has to learn to play so do kids. And physical rough play is instinctual. Those are some of the best laughs you’ll get from them.

[@Gtmustangmt]

I agree 💯 on being physical!! I’m a dad of 3 girls and we are always playing rough and tumble type games and they love it better then dolls or playhouses!! I don’t tell them what they can’t do and they would rather play hard to the point of getting a little bumped around then play tea party even though they like that to but being rough with dad is their number one thing to do.

I have 2 amazing daughters. I call my oldest my princess. She absolutely loves it when I call her my princess. She freaks out and screams “DADDY!!!!!!!” not say “stop calling me that dad”

[@DadUniversity]

Of course she likes it. That has nothing to do with whether it is good for her or not. The words "my amazing daughter" can have similar feeling without connecting it to a princess.

[@NickBeast-gy2es]

@@DadUniversity Should I stop calling her my princess? Even though she loves it?

How old is she?

Yes, instead tell her how smart she is, how you love the way she treats other people, how she is caring, or choose numerous other things she does or how she is instead of a princess that is judged by her looks

I'm so glad I found your channel! One quick question though: If I never compliment my daughter on her physical appearance, would that not make it easier for her to fall for boys who compliment her on her physical traits?

[@pete9688]

I have a little girl who will be 4 in a couple of months. Unfortunately, her mom and I broke our relationship when she was 1 1/2 years old. I have my daughter 3 days a week for the entire day. It’s a bit hard on me since I am alone and older ( early 50’s ) but I love spending time with her. Her mom loathes her in that my daughter reminds her of me... sad. So I play mom and dad... I let her watch me cook , wash clothes , and at the same time , plenty of horsey rides on my back , picking her up pretending that she’s flying , etc... and 1 -1 times with reading and other crafts. Sometimes I think I may be over doing it but I’m trying to compensate for the love that she doesn’t get living with her mom. Is that wrong, I wonder? 🤔

[@Gtmustangmt]

Sounds like your doing great.. keep it up!! Teach her everything you know!!!

[@MisterMeaner3000]

What do you say if she's always stubborn and has a sh*t attitude? I know some girls like that and I'm terrified my daughter will turn out that way.

[@DadUniversity]

Stubborn and bad attitude can be different things. Being stubborn when they are little is normal and can also lead to being strong minded. A bad attitude would be more a result of the type of parenting and environment the child is in. There isn't a quick answer. It's a lot of love, communication, and support.

[@TheFilthyParentPodcast]

Eric Effert Catch them young. Don’t ever let it get to that point. Sometimes one parent allows it and the other doesn’t. Build a strong bond with her mother and team up on the daughter before she gets out of hand. I started on my daughter around 2 years old. 👍🏾🔥

[@Blackdadican]

Train your babies while they are young to increase the chance of them being on the proper road as an adult.

My daughter (first child) is about to be born (less than a month)...I have a wonderful wife and well...I´m here looking for some useful tips and advice, since I didn´t have a father at all, fatherhood freaks me out a little bit (I don´t know where to start to be a good father). I will appreciate in advance your thoughts on this topic. Thank you!

Stefan Molyneux's parenting videos are good. Listen to his call in shows too. You hear a lot about the psychology behind why we do the things we do based off how our parents modeled behaviors and virtues for us. Good luck, brother.

[@vamosajugarpelota]

Any thoughts on being a dad as a single dad that their mom is always talking bad about me? I do pretty much everything your video says but seem to be combatting these ideas in their heads that dad is mean and bad. Not sure how to overcome that

[@DadUniversity]

You cannot control what someone else does or says. Continue to be good. Overly good. Also be sure to be emotionally bulletproof. If you communicate with her you certainly can ask what is it that you are doing that bothers her or why is it that she feels this way. Do not have any emotions when she responds. Instead thank her for telling you. Likely if you really are being good, she is going through issues and dealing with her own demons. It may have nothing to do with you.

[@DennisNeijmeijer]

Keep reminding her that WHATEVER ANYONE says. You love her, are there for here and will always be in her corner. And prove ot with your actions. This will eventually click and she will understand anyone who said otherwise was lying.

[@isaachunnids]

[@Blackdadican]

Congrats🎉 you got this!

[@seanevans8320]

You have such confidence in the way your raising your daughter is the right way. It sounds like she is not even grown yet and you are not even able to tell how your way works. My wife was raised very traditionally, opposite of what you describe, and is the best women I know.

[@DadUniversity]

It is the right way for me. If you have a different way that is totally cool too.

[@subiblue9686]

Who is also self-parenting?

[@mrunknown6842]

Love the videos but still gonna call my daughter princess and don't care who doesn't like it, I want my daughter to feel beautiful too as well as proud for the good choices she makes, it can really help to boost her self esteem when she knows she is pretty, so have to disagree with you on that one tip bud.

[@BA-zn8ki]

Not telling your kids they are beautiful or handsome might be the worst take I've ever heard

[@DennisNeijmeijer]

The point is. Make sure thats on the list of things you compliment, but it's not at the top.

[@lamwah1753]

Being a daughter myself and having a great relationship with my own dad (and about to have my own child), I would like to say I agree with almost everything mentioned in this video, except for one: don’t complement her on her looks, unless it’s in a specific way that’s not really complimenting her on her looks and complements her all around being, which I very strongly disagree with, not because her all around being isn’t important, but because her physical being is part of the whole being. About 75% of women (and I’m sure even more now) sadly don’t believe they are beautiful, and I am so grateful I am part of that 25% that feels like I am pretty. That is a gift that I want every woman out there to have, and I credit it to my dad taking the time and effort to tell me how pretty I was all the time, especially in the times where I didn’t feel that way. Encouraging skill development and personal growth is important (and came from my dad as well), however it doesn’t do the same thing as feeling confident in your own body which is something every woman will struggle with at some point, if she isn’t consistently dealing with it already. By my dad doing this, it has encouraged me not only to take care of my body and my own personal presentation to the outside world, but also gave me the respect I believe my body deserves. Telling a girl she is pretty is not going to make her stuck up or vain- that is what happens when she gets what she wants through bad behavior (I.e. whining, tantrums, talking back). Telling a girl she is pretty empowers her and gives her one more thing to hold onto when the day is going horrible and something else to hold onto when she is about to do something crazy out of her comfort zone. In my own personal experience, because I feel this way, I find I don’t need others to complement my beauty because I’ve heard it so many times from my dad, I’ve come to believe it myself. Does every person out there think I’m pretty? Probably not (although I’d like to think so), but I can’t really say that I care, those people are probably not important. Obviously I could go on and on about this, but I feel like not telling a beautiful baby girl she is pretty is like not lighting a flame in a dark area in fear someone will get burnt. Telling a girl she is pretty is something absolutely priceless, and will teach her to feel pretty on her own at some point giving her a shield against the world that will be telling her her whole life will be telling her she is not pretty enough, amongst many other things (I.e. not strong enough, not smart enough, not determained enough). A father can at least give her that shield to protect her from probably the most untrue and unimportant criticism from the world. Anyway I am glad y’all are doing things like this. There is so much material for mothers, and I don’t feel like we give enough attention to fathers. Fathers are so important in the role of raising children, and I don’t feel like they are given enough attention so I really appreciate things like this. There should be more things like this for dads. Being a parent is tough, whether your are a mother or a father, and content like this gives parents support.

[@DadUniversity]

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback. I welcome hearing other perspectives. It sounds like you had an incredible father. I think there are many things that contribute. The reason I brought that advice up is that there is such a focus on the outward appearance. Just because there is doesn't mean it's right. I do think you make some very valid points. A girl hearing she is pretty from her dad is fine but my point was to focus more on inward reasons rather than outward. If your dad told you you were physically pretty over and over but society told you the opposite, do you think that would be enough? It's an interesting discussion. Thanks again for taking the time to write.

[@lamwah1753]

I think it’s so cool you wrote back! Thank you for doing that, I love conversations like this, it is a learning opportunity and so good to hear different perspectives. So my answer to that question is still a yes, and even more so! Especially if society is consistently telling her she is not pretty, over and over and over again. Having a father, who loves and cares so much, consistently pushing that little girl forward and telling her she looks dang good doing it, usually has a bigger impact than what most would think. At some point in her life, probably around 10 or 11, she will probably be like just like me and say to their dad “you’re just saying that because you’re my dad;” however, in the long run, it really does make a difference. In my life, I eventually learned that people who say things like “You’re not pretty” also happened to say things like “you’re not smart” or “you’re so clumsy,” didn’t really care about me and never really offered good feed back to begin with, even if they swore up and down how much they “cared”. (Keep in mind too my dad (and mom, it’s a team effort to raise kids) would point the kinds of things good friends do, continued to encouraged me to become better in all aspects of my life, and didn’t just leave me to my own stupid teenage devices and ideas). The pattern I noticed too was those kinds of people would consistently be putting themselves down too, and both their comments to me, others, and themselves is not healthy for a person to be around. I learned to leave those kinds of people behind in my life, and began to believe and trust my dad more, and took his opinions more seriously without the “whatever, Dad”. Through life, these kinds of lessons added on, like I learned there are different kinds of beauties and everyone has their own “tastes” so what is pretty to one person, might not be “to their tastes” to the next person, and if I was confronted with the latter, it didn’t mean I wasn’t pretty, it just meant I wasn’t for them (their loss according to my dad) and not to take it personally because I had my own “tastes” as well and it wouldn’t be fair (and quite frankly boring) if everyone else had the same tastes (and society would come to a stop because no one would get anywhere in their own journey- after all we are not all headed in the same direction and tastes do define that path). Also opinions will change from day to day depending on experiences someone has. This aided me in dating because not only did I not take it personally when someone didn’t feel the same way as I did, it also helped me feel comfort when the tables had turned, and I kindly placed someone in the “friend zone” (and tables always turn! Life is more like a lazy Susan, after all, and people are naturally drawn to confidence). I also appreciated this even more when I realized didn’t have to date every single guy in the world to find an incredible husband, who I finally met and married, who loves and respects me, and tells me I am the most beautiful women he has ever seen, even with my swollen pregnant belly. And isn’t that an expectation every daughter should have? Society tells everyone they don’t look good all of the time (so really I guess no one is really that special), no matter what that person does, says or wears, society says it is never enough and is consistently trying to make sure people are “humbled”, for lack of words. There is not much we can do to change that. The sour voices will sound louder than the sweet voices, and for every “ugly/stupid/clumsy/whatever”, it will take about ten “pretty/smart/elegant/opposite of whatevers” to fix it. So what CAN be done, is to be part those good voices, so dad’s comments do matter. The personal outward appearance is connected to the personal inward view. One cannot talk about part, and leave out the other. Both are absolutely necessary to have a full and complete person. It is a personal need. Regardless, if she does not get that at home, she will look for it through other sources. People learn early on that outward appearance is important- it’s the first impression you have of someone. If she is confident in the way she looks, it will rub off on other people, and they will eventually come to believe it too. And I do agree with what you said about how there is so much focus on outward appearance in the world (I assume that is what you are referring to). However, I find the issue isn’t the amount of focus, it’s more of How it focuses on it. It focuses on just that one aspect of a person, and that is the image in our minds when we see someone who is told they are pretty all the time. We see a spoiled soul who has become good at nothing because they haven’t learned to do anything except fret over their looks, which is now the only thing they are good at. But don’t we see something similar with people who are only told how smart they are and that’s it? That is an inward trait. However, when we think of someone who has only relied on their intelligence, we see a socially awkward person who is only good at just that one thing, that one subject they have been focusing on that has earned them the title of “smart”. And in both cases, both the self obsessed person and the super smart person become bitter because life isn’t going the way they believe it should go. I think it is beneficial for the child, the family, and society to focus on both the inside and the outside. Anyway, thank you again for listening, it feels good to be heard. And I really have been enjoying y’all’s videos. Y’all have some important tips in there for dad (and even moms) that I feel parents need to hear. I feel like parenting is so important, and so special, and I am so excited about the content y’all are making for dads.

[@ThatsHowThingsAre]

i agree. theres nothing wrong with telling your daughter she is beautiful. In a world thats so set on telling people what is or isnt beautiful i think its important to help her realize that no matter what the world says, she is beautiful. Every girl and woman wants to feel beautiful. You can make them feel good about themselves physically and emotionally. It doesnt have to be one or the other

[@lizinp]

@@DadUniversity I'm more in line with your perspective on this. My father told my sister and I we were pretty, as did our relatives. Sure, it's nice to hear once in a while, but it really didn't do much for either one of us. There is a lot of pressure on girls and women to be beautiful. Well... what if you're not? You're just as valuable a person.
