Are fathers naturally overprotective of their daughters even before they‘re born?

Congratulations! I think that this is a very natural way to feel about your daughter, it shows that you will be a caring and responsible father to her. I believe that like so many other things in life, you can only take one step at a time, a bit like your little girl will soon be doing!

While she is a young child I don't think there is much danger of you being too protective of her, it is when as you say, she is older that there is a slight risk of becoming over protective. It is at the point where the boys start to show an interest in her and when you cannot for the life of you understand what she sees in the latest spotty,scruffy predator who you wish to goodness was not within a mile of your baby. The trouble is, and I have witnessed it many times, the more you try to persuade her that some one or something is not a good idea, the more she will be drawn towards it, or that person and you then run the risk of driving a wedge between you.

All you can do is within reason, allow her to learn from her mistakes and hope that they are not too many or to big. If you encourage her to talk to you from an early age, about anything, you will hopefully be able to influence her and keep her safe from some of the bad experiences that can occur because of poor judgment.

It’s an interesting question. I have an older daughter and younger son and I have a much greater tendency towards being protective towards my daughter. As you mention, this is especially true when it comes to thinking about dating, life as a teenager, etc.There are two factors that I see in my mind set on this: 1.

I’m a guy so I know how guys think, but I don’t want a guy to think like that about MY daughter – When I think about my daughter dating or what guys would think about her, my protective instincts go WAY up. This is directly related to wanting to keep my sweet little girl from being thought of like guys may think of her.It is certainly too early to be afraid of it, but I think there is a bit of this that is good – I do want to keep my daughter away from that kind of harm. 2.

She looks to me for protection – Even at a young age, I can see that she looks to me to protect her from little things. Just seeing that in her makes me want to protect her more. Regardless, I can’t worry too much now, but it does encourage me to build the relationship with her so we have the groundwork to talk about these things when she is older.

Daughters are great, so enjoy it!

I think it is a natural tendency for a father to be overly protective with their daughter, in the sense that a father are men and knows what men are up to when it comes to women. As a father, we only looked for the best our daughter should have once she is born into this world, but there are things that are beyond our control. The best thing a father should do, is to make sure the her daughter should be brought up with the proper care and guidance from a father.

One of the best approach, to make your daughter be the best she can be, is to be a role model for her. Another thing, you should do, as she reaches at a ripe age, is make yourself her best friend, in order for her to share her problems that bothers her. As a final note, let her grow the way she wants, all you have to do as a father is show her the way.

Yes and you will be protective of her her whole life even after she is married and has children of her own.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
