3 Ways to Build Confident Daughters In 2024

 "Being confident spreads easily. Likewise, insufficient confidence is. –Lombardi, Vince. Our daughters' confidence is being targeted and directly attacked, which creates a huge business that feeds off of their damaged self-esteem. It's critical for fathers to understand how to boost their daughters' self-esteem.

Fathers who have girls have a special responsibility to nurture humility and confidence in their daughters from a young age. There are incredible risks associated with not doing so. Teenage pregnancy, drug misuse, failing grades, and even suicide are all products of low self-esteem among girls. They might never break free once they get into the cycle. Here are some pointers for developing self-assured daughters.

1. Listen to Her.

Many women feel like they aren’t heard. Honest communication can solve the majority of problems our families face, yet it can sometimes be so difficult to achieve. When she reaches out, she wants to talk–not be lectured or scolded. As dads, our instinct is to fix the things bothering her, but in many cases, she just needs us to help her work through it herself.

2. Tell Her She is Beautiful.

I once read a stat that stated only 2% of women think they are beautiful. That is tremendously sad and speaks to something wrong in our culture. Hug your daughter and tell her she is beautiful daily. If a dad doesn’t hug his teen daughter and tell her he loves her every day, she will find someone that will. That sets off a dangerous pattern of seeking beauty affirmation.

3. Reinforce Her Strong Qualities.

We are all given special talents. As your daughter is discovering hers, reinforce them with your praise and relentless support as if you are building the foundation of a great structure.
