her life.
Psychologists have found
that mothers and fathers play
complementary roles with daughters;
mothers make girls SECURE, but dads
give them SELF-ESTEEM.
A bad mistake some dads make,
especially dads who are moneyrich but time-poor, is to treat their
daughters like princesses. They buy
her expensive gifts and let her have
money without earning it. This leads
to a very negative result, a grown-up
girl with an emotional age of two.
The Jews have a very interesting
saying: What do you give your wife?
What she wants or what you can
afford? (The answer is at the bottom.)
Answer: What her father made her
used to.
