Strong Dads Raise Strong Daughters #WomenOnTheMove

A strong dad is the biggest influencer in a young girl’s life; because only strong dads can raise strong and confidant daughters. #WomenOnTheMove

“I love my father. He once told someone ‘Please look at my daughter. Do you think I’ve raised her in a way that her only identity is to be someone’s wife?'” — Sushmita Sen

Each parent plays a unique role in their child’s life. They bring in their own set of values and understanding of the world into the life of their child.

@womensweb yep. They have front row seat to how a man’s brain works. They can help bring that perspective in parenting. #WomenonTheMove

Infact daddy’s should get involved in their daughters lives from the very beginning

@womensweb actually that’s late. They must start much earlier. By teenage, girls form an opinion already and/or are not open as before.

— Radhika (@rads) February 15, 2017

@womensweb True @rads Starting early is ideal but men shy away in certain areas when their girls hit puberty and vice versa. #WomeOntheMove
