It is alot different. But talking to and listening to are a big factor with girls. Right now she is only 6yrs old so it is not that bad. If your at a point in which your not sure about certain girl things ask a female friend. Or even your mother. Don't be emabarassed it just shows you care about your daughter and are not afraid to ask for some advise. Books help too.Hope this helps you in some way. Congrats on getting custody and good luck: )

When they are 6, it's not too much different except for the obvious. Just be there for her when she falls. You can play rough and tumble games; I loved it when I was a kid. I was a tom-boy. I would rather tear legs off of spiders than play with dolls. Man that was fun. Oh yeah, back to your little one. Hey bike riding (teaching her), hop scotch. Oh sorry, I'm not a single dad, but I was a single mom raising a son by herself. Oh FYI, when she turns 12-13, hang on for the next 5 years after. You'll wish they took you and locked you up. I was looking into sending my son to a boot camp. Oh yeah, you'll hit rough waves, but after that it'll be smooth, I hope. Anyway, it'll come naturally to ya; you'll be just fine. Take care.

It shouldn't be that much different between boys and girls at age 6. Give her food, clothing, nurturing, LOTS of love and encouragement. Everything you'd give a 6 year old boy. If you have any gender specific questions talk to her pediatrician, your mom or any good moms or dads you know that have kids of a similar age. Most of it is common sense!

properly seem right here. he's grown sufficient for dealing with issues. He shouldn't run from those subject . the priority will in no way end by potential of fixing training or perhaps changing college. He has to income a thank you to stand those style of issues. He has to stand it a minimum of for his new child. She's transforming into up by potential of gazing those style of issues. Now what he has to do is to maintain persistence and talk his classification artwork as close as achievable. Creat a solid recognition by potential of not giving any respond to the comments the two from his ex-female buddy or different pupils. If he responce's and shop changing the classed the roamers from his female buddy will become genuine memories for others. so wait and notice first its needed. attempt to be solid along with her. smile constantly along with her. permit her think of that he's thinking her. be solid as much as achievable. like this style she will cut back the torturing. purely friedship can sparkling up the priority. if he can, by potential of any recommend, regain the friendship along with her he would be succeeded. So attempt this one and you purely sit down and watch how ordinary the life is. Thanking you

You will do fine as long as you are willing to grow and learn.....I raised 3 boys while their father was in the military and they turned out great. I had to teach them to pee standing up, we went shopping for sports guards, and I gave then the "please abstain but if you can't wear a condom" speech and they kept me laughing for many years....
Your daughters personality will play a big role in how you approach issues. She may be very independent or she may be very clingy...Either way you will do fine

You need a bucket of patience and buckets of love. My ex walked out on me and I was in the Navy with two girls 8 and 6. establish rituals and routines in your home. make sure she knows she is loved. create a comfortable bedroom for her. make sure she gets her bath daily, make sure she gets to bed early, young kids need lots of sleep. Make her breakfast before she goes to school and make sure she gets a good lunch. remember she is a child, not a small adult. talk to her and then LISTEN to her when she has something to say. Good luck, you are a very lucky guy, our children are the only true gifts from God.

Dont worry- it is possible... my dad had custody of me and my two sisters when we were 2,4,6.... so just do your best.... All they really need to know is that their Daddy loves them! It was hard not having a mother growing up.... but My Dad was so strong and supportive that it worked....Good Luck....I dont know your situation, but I admire what your are doing!

You need to spend alot of time with her and show her that you will always listen when she has something to say. Also alot of love and affection should go her way.
