An episode of Kamel El Addad +1 caught our attention when Ahmed confides in Malak about his issues with Farida, and the fact that she’s growing up. In this scene, Malak gives him advice on how to build a connection with his oldest daughter and become her best friend rather than her enemy. This got us thinking about how fathers need to befriend their daughters, as it encourages a healthier relationship, and here’s why we think fathers and daughters should be best friends.
Mutual Learning:
Fathers and daughters should be each other’s teachers. Fathers would impart the wisdom of life experience, while daughters are the key to fresh perspectives in today’s world. Through this exchange, both of them could enrich each other’s lives, creating a bond built on continuous growth.
Emotional Support:
Fathers serve as reliable support system for their daughters. Emotional support is crucial as it builds empathy and compassion. Fathers should create a safe space where daughters feel valued, heard, and supported unconditionally, strengthening their emotional stability and mental wellbeing.
Celebrating Milestones Together:
Showing up matters. Fathers play an important role in celebrating their daughters’ milestones and achievements. Whether it’s cheering for them at a sports event, attending their shows, or offering words of encouragement during critical moments in their daughters’ lives, fathers can change a whole mood with one action.
Secrets Shared Without Fear:
Fathers should be their daughters’ confidante when it comes to sharing their deepest secrets. Daughters should feel confident that they will not be judged and that sharing secrets with their father will create an unbreakable bond. This bond will encourage the daughter to make the right choices without the fear of not letting her father know.
