Children grow up very fast! Every tender moment spent with the child right from birth to teenage is a lifelong, precious memory for parents. To make these memories doubly special, a loving dad takes his little daughter for a date every month and even helps her select a dress for their day out.
Caitlin Fladager, a mother recently wrote about her husband Noah and daughter Arianna on facebook. “My husband decided once a month he will take our little girl out on a “date” where she gets all dressed up and gets taken out for cake and ice cream. Tonight was there first night doing it,” said Caitlin.
She described how specially they prepare for the occasion. Noah even helps little Ariann pick out a cute dress. “He helped her pick out a dress for her to wear, got a little purse ready for her, held the door open for her, and made her feel like a princess. She loved it, was so happy when she got home,” Caitlin explained on her facebook.
Caitlin believes this is teaching Arianna to value herself. “She will always know how she deserves to be treated because her dad sets such a high example.”
Noah and Caitlin’s parenting is visibly having a very positive impact on the emotional well being of Arianna. It’s a great parenting approach as it can help children appreciate themselves in a family.
