I used to believe teen daughters were a nightmare...then I had one and realized it’s bs societal programming

Lead your home, your daughter will follow 🧵 Image
1/ The vibe of your home starts with you

Your energy sets the tone for everyone else.

If your wife is "off" or your kids have a bad day, YOU still control the atmosphere
2/ Model the marriage you want her to emulate

Your relationship with your wife is her idea of love and respect

Show her how a man treats a woman through patience, kindness, and leadership because she’s always watching
3/ Be her guide in tough conversations

She wants to hear about life from YOU

If you don’t address the awkward topics someone else will
4/ Make your home the epicenter

Her friend group matters

Host dinners, playdates, or trips

Stay in tune with her world
5/ Embrace the carpool

Driving them to sports, school, or activities is an incredible opportunity to connect and listen
6/ Family time matters

You don’t need elaborate outings (but plan some adventures)

Simple moments like a morning chat over coffee or a walk down the street are the best Image
7/ Be her calm in the storm

Life is crazy for teens today. You are calm, cool, and stable.

Pray, laugh, talk, be there for her. That’s what she needs
Still here, Father?

Too many kids grow up without a real father...

Not because he left—but because he wasn’t truly "there"

How to make sure YOUR kids never feel that void 🧵

1/ Don’t be a drunk Image
Too many dads overdo it—especially around their kids.

What if there's an emergency?

It doesn't mean you can't have a drink, but set a good example with boundaries and self-control
2/ Protect your family

Many ways to do this:

- When walking, stand closest to road
- Raining? hold the umbrella over your family
- At the restaurant? visualize the exits
- Defensive driving
- Media, p0rn, etc

Today's threats are not just physical Image
