Strengthening Father-Daughter Relationship During the Teen Years

Research points to daughters’ positive self-esteem and life satisfaction being closely related to fathers having a tight relationship with them. 

But as our little girls grow into young women through their teenage years, how can dads maintain a connection with them? 

In this episode of the ParentEd Podcast, our host, June, is joined by Joshua and his teenage daughter, Shawna. Joshua talks about the simple traditions he started with his daughters when they were young, and how these intentional practices of connecting with them evolved through their growing up years. Shawna also shares about the impact her dad and their relationship has left on her. Together, they reveal how they keep their father-daughter relationship strong, even through the changes and disagreements in the journey.
