Will Hutcherson > Quotes

“If you are the father of a kid or teen, please know that you play an enormous role in the life of your daughter or son. Your words will shape their destiny and have a long-lasting impact. If you are the father of a daughter, I have a special request of you: Affirm your daughters. Not just by words and gestures, but by intentional and consistent actions that send the message you are there for them. The research is clear. Fathers play a pivotal role in their daughter’s self-image, self-esteem, and body image. Studies also show that girls with close and affirming relationships with their fathers are more likely to have self-confidence, perform better academically and have more successful career advancement.”
