Step 1: Take some time to spend with her.
Try to find time to do things with your daughter.Pick a day of the week when both you and she are free, like Sundays or Thursday nights.It's a good idea to do it the same day and time so you can remember when your special time together is, and you will be free.Your daughter will be out of school during the summer so it's a good time to do things together.Try to find time on the weekends to spend time with your daughter if you are still working in the summer.If you have to, ask for fewer hours at work.You should spend at least an hour or two a day with your daughter.Pick a time when your daughter is not around.Ask her if she wants to do something on the night.You will be sure to find her when she is free.On weeknights, your child will be busy with schoolwork.You should find a different time to spend together.
Step 2: Know what your daughter likes.
If you know what your daughter likes to do, you'll know where to go when you spend time together.To see what your child is doing, sometimes, but not too often.They could be on the computer, drawing, reading or playing outside.To find out more about what she likes, look more into the things she is doing.Ask her if she is reading.Ask her if she is watching TV, playing on the computer, or outside.You will get a better idea of what she likes, and she will be happy that you are interested in her work.Don't try to change what she likes and dislikes because her interests are very different from yours.You can learn more about your daughter's interests by doing things related to those activities.If she likes to read, you can either read at home or at the library.You can play soccer in your backyard or the park if she likes it.Take your daughter to an art museum if she likes drawing.
Step 3: You should go shopping.
Shopping is one thing that will build girls' relationships.You will have a chance to talk and find out more about your daughter's interests.You can take her to the grocery store to pick out food.She can help decide what drinks to buy by putting items in the cart that she likes.If your daughter likes to read, you can go to a bookstore and look for books together.You can go to a shopping mall.Look for shoes and clothes.She could help you pick out clothes of your own.If she's into fashion, she would love to be your fashion consultant.If your daughter is younger, you can go to a toy store.Let her go as she pleases.Allow your daughter to pick what she likes when shopping for clothes, shoes, books, or anything.She is her own person and she is just expressing herself.Do you like this?Don't force her to buy or wear something that she does not like.If you shop at a store your daughter will be more likely to find something she likes.
Step 4: Go away.
There are many options if you don't want to shop.The pool, park, beach, restaurant, museum, or amusement park are some.Now that you know your daughter's interests, you will be able to find out where she wants to go.Pick a place that she would like.The arts and crafts store is a good place to take your baseball lover.The weather is an important factor.Information on the weather can be found online, on TV or in the newspaper.Theme parks and the pool are great for sunny days.You can make a snowman if you go to a cafe for some hot chocolate.No matter what the weather is like, you can always play with your daughter in the backyard.Have a snowball fight, make snow angels, or build a snow fort.Go skiing, sledding or snowboarding if your daughter likes sports.If it's raining, don't worry.You can go to a movie theater, a restaurant, an indoor pool, the library, or a museum.
Step 5: You can watch a good movie at home.
If it's raining, this is a great activity.Movies can bring you closer.If you and your daughter want to watch a movie, look through your movies together.It needs to be appropriate for her age.Family movies are great for all ages and will always make you smile.There are other options.Drop Dead Fred, My Girl, and Pretty in Pink are some movies that you and your daughter might like.Go to a theater if you don't have good movies at home.It's a good idea to watch TV.It's possible to find a TV show that the two of you would like to watch together.It will most likely come on at the same time every day, which is good for your schedule.If neither of you are at home, record the show.
Step 6: .
It's important that you help your daughter with her schoolwork.If she asks for help with homework, try to help her.Help her, don't give her the answer.Don't just say "32" if she's struggling with a math problem.While still having her interact, say, "You have to _____."You can go through the steps with her.What is 9 times 13?She will know what to do next time.Try to help her if she doesn't ask for it, but you will get a hint that she needs help.If she's been doing homework for a long time, ask if she needs any help from you.If your daughter got a poor grade on a test, that's the same.Make learning enjoyable.Turn studying for a test into a game.Do you want your daughter to teach you about it?Study with her.It's your job to help her study for the test.She'll probably tell you what to do.I will say the definition if you give me the word.
Step 7: You can play a game.
You can play a great game with your daughter.Ask her if she'd like to play a game with you on a certain day, or just have a night with the two of you.Sorry, Monopoly, Life, Scrabble, Taboo, and Snakes and Ladders are some good family games.There are card games that are enjoyable.If you have a spare deck, play UNO.
Step 8: Something to cook together.
Baking is a fun way for the two of you to bond.It's a good way to teach them how to cook if they're older.Look through the books with your daughter to see what she can make.You can make cookies, cakes, cupcakes, brownies, or any dessert.You could make your own bread, bagels, smoothie, soup, stew, or ice cream.Remember that you are cooking.cracking eggs, helping whisk the batter, pouring liquids, and decorating are things your daughter can do.Children and teens learn by expecting things to not be done perfectly.Children should be able to deal with cooking with heat around the age of 11 or 12 if you allow her to use the oven.
Step 9: Show her how much you love her.
Your daughter knows that you love her, but do you really show it?Is playing a game or watching TV really special time?It's the little things that matter, even if you don't know how to do it.It's a good idea to walk together, talk, and enjoy nature.A hug or a small gift, like a book or stuffed animal, will cheer her up on a bad day.Encouraging messages include "You can do it", "I believe in you" and "you are a very talented artist/swimmer/soccer player!".It is important to let her know that she is going to succeed in life, as it is in the trying and the doing, including learning to deal with failure.She'll be left with a positive attitude thanks to your support.You can laugh and smile with her.
Step 10: Talk to someone.
It's important for your daughter to know that she can always come and talk to you.Make sure you look at your daughter when you talk to her.Tell her that she needs to listen in a friendly way.If you try to stay short and sweet, your daughter will get bored and think that they are in trouble.The first sentence should be simple and non-Confusing if the key point is left out.You should talk casually.It shouldn't be all serious when the two of you are talking.Talk about the school.What is happening in school?What was school like today?You should also go deeper.Ask her about her interests.
Step 11: Listen to it.
Your daughter should listen to you as well.If you don't pay attention, she'll think it's okay to not listen, and children will know when their parent is not listening.Stop looking at her.You can listen if you have good eye contact.Ask her questions to show that you are listening.Also, say it again.It's putting something in your own words.Say, for example, "So you mean that?"You can clarify what your daughter said to you.Listen to what she wants to do.Don't say "No" immediately if your daughter wants to go to a movie.Look at what movies are playing, or ask her what she wants to see.You should allow your daughter to get her way once in a while.
Step 12: You should be there for your daughter.
Whether it's through presence at an important event, advice, or by words of encouragement, you need to always be there.If your daughter wants you to attend any important event, try to see if you can.See why if not.If you can't cancel it on the same day, be sure to tell your daughter, because some things are impossible to miss.It's okay if you can't attend the event.There are many ways to be there for your daughter.Offer assistance.Help her if you see her struggling in school, sports, or an instrument.Contact the teacher, listen to her play her flute, or play basketball with her.Encouraging is what you should be doing.It may be hard for her to do something, so you have to cheer her on.Say "good job" when you really mean it, and give her a gift that says "way to go!"Such as a book.Affirm her.Say "That's a nice shirt" or "I like what you did to your room".
Step 13: You should celebrate your daughter's talents.
This is another form of encouragement, and it will make your daughter happy when you recognize her talents.Ask her if she would like to try out for a school play, strings solo, or softball team and she might agree.If you can get her into a class or a team, that would be great.To participate in the activity she is trying out elsewhere is another thing to do.She can teach you dance moves, hold a concert, or play a game.It will make her feel good, you'll learn something, and the two of you will bond more.
Step 14: Be kind.
Your kindness has a big impact on your relationship.Don't shout at her right away when things go wrong.When explaining to her that you don't want her to do it again, remain calm and nice.Try saying "please do this" instead of "do this now"If you address her kindly, she's more likely to do what you say.Give real reasons, not just because I said so.If she knows there are dangers, she will be more responsive.It is likely to happen as a result of her choices.Always end everything on a good note, and hug and kiss her before she goes to bed or in the morning.You have to respect her.You must remember that she is an individual.Some things about your daughter that you may not agree with or understand, but still be respectful, she can have her own opinion.
Step 15: Trust.
The basis of any relationship is trust.If you find yourself doing things you shouldn't do, stop.If you catch her lying a lot, start being honest with yourself.If something prevents you from keeping a promise, be sure to let her know.It may not be your fault if your daughter broke your trust.Let her know that you're unhappy with her and that she broke your trust.Tell her what you would like her to do in the future.You can trust her more if you see her doing things that are responsible.When she succeeds and gets good grades, pat her on the back.Share your feelings.Tell your daughter that if she needs to, she can come to you.You should talk to her about your feelings as well.You can ask your daughter for advice if you tell her how you really feel about something.
