10 Things Dads Should NOT Do To Their Daughters

I've watched my brother raise his daughter (my neice) and sometimes shake my head in amazement as to why he doesn't 'get her.'

As a strong girl advocate, I watch teen girls grow into whom I  hope will be self-respecting and driven young ladies. They grow and mature and if I'm being honest, I sometimes struggle to find the right words to pour into them. I can only imagine how fathers feel.
