Dad-Daughter Friday Blog | Affirming Your Daughter from A to Z

Michelle Watson

Hey Dad…

Let’s talk today about a straight-forward-get-to-the-point way to bless the socks off your daughter by using the alphabet as your writing guide. This is an entertaining way to tell your daughter what you love about her from A to Z.

All you’ll do is use each letter of the alphabet as your prompt to tell her the qualities you Appreciate, Admire, and Adore about her…all the way to telling her the Zillion things you love and enjoy about her.

And even if you’ve done this in the past, trust me when I say she’ll never tire of being affirmed by you and I’m guessing she needs to hear your words again today. 

I’ll get you started...“Honey, in my eyes you are Adorable/Adventurous, Beautiful/Brave, Clever/Creative, Daring/Diligent, Extraordinary/Enthusiastic...”

For a double benefit from this exercise, take what you’ve written and read it to her on your dad-daughter date. Then she can keep what you’ve written, adding strength to the words you share. And if she lives a distance away where you can’t connect in person, mail her your words so she has something in her mailbox to stand out from technology in real time.

In doing this, it’s as easy as can be to increase your fathering literacy…from A to Z!
