Why Fathers Have an Even Greater Influence on Daughters Than You May Realize

Maybe it's not a recital; it could be a violin concert or a cross-country meet. The important thing is that fathers show up and support their daughters' interests. Why? Daughters need to know that they are talented and that those talents are appreciated. I still remember my father telling me that my cello playing brought him to tears. I was no Yo-Yo Ma, but it meant so much to me to know that my father was proud of the outcome of all my hard work.
