What does it take to build an authentic, lasting connection with your daughter?

Being a girl dad is more than just parenting your daughter the same way you would your other kids. While we always have our daughters’ best interests at heart, they often see our words and actions from different lenses – and this is where the disconnect between dads and daughters could come from.

Madeline Anderson had such a wonderful relationship with her dad, that she still treats him as his best friend even if she is now an adult. It surprised her that not all daughters had the same nurturing relationship with their dads, which set her on her mission of helping dads and daughters build amazing relationships. 

In this episode, Madeline shares the importance of attention and intention in building your relationship with your daughters and how the quality of conversations you have could shape not just the health of your relationship with her but the relationships she will get into in the future.

“Those little moments, the micro-moments, they add up so much more than that one big thing every now and then. That’s what creates that bond.” - Madeline Anderson
