How to Connect with Your Daughter Part 2/2 This is a really nice video with Kim and her dad Pete demonstrated a warm, caring relationship. Couple of things that I like about it were it was activity based and dad tend to do better in general with action-oriented and activity-base activities with their kids. Kids are real leader. You saw in both how he teaches and how he plays with his daughter and other kids and that leadership is really what most kids are looking for in a strong relationship. I think we tended to overtime begin to focus more on kids leading and parents following but that’s not what Pete was doing in this video he was really leading. But he was also investing an activity both in playing football and playing music that the kids could really get into. I in some respects don’t really think that there's a whole lot of difference in terms of how men relate to their sons and daughters, except that the activities are different. So I think the critical components are really parental leadership and meeting kids where they are in terms of their interest. If parents get over invested so that the activity is really about the parent not really about the child’s participation and experience, then you see kids beginning to kind of fade away from those activities over time. But Kim really looked interested in guitar and looked interested in singing and really used her interest in that and her dad’s interest to form a relationship with her dad looks very positive. That early experience of having a successful relationship with your parent, I think goes a long, long ways to helping young people develop a sense of what competent parenting is about without really even knowing what the essential elements are. They will feel better about their experience being parented and they’ll have a better intuition if you will about how to parent their own kids.
