30 Daughter Quotes That Will Touch and Melt Your Heart
Having a daughter is undoubtedly a blessing, though raising a little girl with a high self-esteem in a world saturated with digitally altered images of perfect women can be a real challenge.
The responsibility of building a daughter’s self-confidence falls first on the parents’ shoulders. Of course, there are many things to take into consideration here, but we can start by complimenting them more on who they are and what they are great at. This way we’ll make sure that our daughters understand their true value without looking for validation in a weekly fashion magazine.
Some of the following daughter quotes are words of encouragement for your girl, some describe the pure love of a parent, and some are simple reminders that whatever accomplishments you may have to date, raising a daughter is probably your biggest one.
If your daughter is young, she will grow up and start rolling her eyes. But that’s okay — she’s a teenager trying to find her true identity and her inner voice. The great news is that the values you’ve instilled in her will help her make better decisions, even under peer influence.
With a little help, she’ll finally turn into a fine young lady that knows how to take care of herself. That’s your reward. And don’t worry. No matter how strong, independent, and mature she may be, a daughter still needs her parents.
Here are 30 daughter quotes that will touch and melt your heart:
