New Dad Tips for Girl Dads | Dad University Podcast Ep. 269

There is a special bond between a father and a daughter.  This concept of “girl dad” became really popular recently when Kobe Bryant past away.  A story by ESPN’s Elle Duncan highlighted Kobe’s relationship with his daughters and during her interview (in which she was pregnant with a girl) he said “girls are the best”.   Many fathers of daughters feel this same way.  It doesn’t take away from the relationship we have with our sons, but being a girl dad is unique, it’s different. This one is for you new dads with a daughter.  In this episode, I am going to go over some new dad tips for girl dads.  What makes this relationship so unique and how can you best position your daughter to thrive. 

Om Podcasten

Getting married and having kids is quite different than being a single dude. Not only does your available free time change, but your stress level increases, the pressure escalates, and we often don't have an outlet for help. The average woman has a circle of friends, family, or online communities where she shares aspects of her life and gets advice, feedback, or at a minimum, the feeling that there are other people going through the same thing. Men don't talk as much, don't want to share as much, and therefore don't really experience the transition the way women do. Our personal struggles and frustrations often go untouched, simply learning how to cope with them ourselves. We think we need to "man up" and deal with it on our own. Whether it is parenting issues, dealing with our relationships, or anything in-between, Dad University is a place where men can know that other guys are going through the same thing. We can help each other and be better fathers and husbands. The Podcast helps dads through the journey of fatherhood as well as provides advice and assistance in relationships.
