That becomes sort of the mantra of the day.

But it's wrong.

And people in their hearts know it.

Dads know it.

But nobody comes along and says, this is how you're important.

This is why you're important.

This is how your daughter's life will change if you implement these things.

Nobody tells them that because it's very much in vogue in our culture to just beat the heck out of dads.

I'm done with that.

I'm sick of it.

instant like you can go do this you can go flip these one or two switches and start making a difference there's so many there's so many but this here's what i'd start you know every daughter needs affection and attention and affirmation so the minute you walk in that door she's going to be scouring you for clues about who you are

Does my dad see me?

So you come home, put the stupid cell phone down, you know, regroup, get into your home mode, not your business mode.

You walk into the kitchen or wherever your daughter is and you look at her, you touch her on the shoulder and say, I'm so glad to see you.

Boom.

Changes her evening.

Now she's safe.

Now she's secure.

She can go about doing what she wants to do.

If you walk in the kitchen, you ignore her like she's not even there.
