I am a single father and I worry sometimes if I am overly playful and animated with my daughter? I dance around and play with her alot, but I try to rid her of any fear and let he be confident that i am there to protect and love her. But I noticed that she hates to sit still, and shes such a sweet baby. I kiss her little cheeks all the time, and I wondr if thats bad? Dont want to raise a little terror in the house.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
YOU CAN NEVER LOVE OR PLAY WITH A BABY TOO MUCH-Just because you play or love on them does not make them a terror- it is the lack of discipline that make a terror- I oughta know because I am a mother of 6 wonderful kids ranging in age from 23 to 2 years old!
Be sure to discipline with love and you can never go wrong!
P.S. thank you for being such a good dad- that takes courage in todays world- not many dads are like you-YOU GO GUY!!!!!!!!!!!

Honey you sound like a dream dad to me are you sure your real am I not daydreaming here? LoL. Look I'll be 15 in march and my bio dad is an azzhole I dispise him. Him and my mother was divorced when I was 1. I have only 1 memoire of him up until I was 8 years old when he walked back into my life because he was getting married. He's not a very nice guy he insults me and makes me feel retarded and like I'm not speacil he hits me and my sisters ( not alot but he does ) you sound like a great dad you care so much for her believe me your doing NOTHING wrong. LoL but when she gets older if she get into trouble don't be afread to punish her just let her know you still love her. Your a wonderful father any child would be lucky to have you as a dad.

Well, you can't love or spoil a baby too much... I'm not sure how old she is, but remember that babies do not understand disciple.. They don't understand the word "NO" until 10 or 12 months-- so if she's older than that, make sure you are setting a good example and not letting her get away w/ everything, but at the sametime she needs to know that her daddy loves her and the best way to tell them is to show them! BTW, if you have older ones-- try not to leave them out of the fun and love. Best of luck!

Keep up what you are doing...just make sure that along with the play and kissing and loving that you are also consistant with dicipline from the very beginning (of course if she's just an infant there's really not anything to dicipline about now) and you'll raise a happy, confident yet not hell raising child.

Sounds like you are doing a great job! Keep showing her you love her and enjoy spending time with her. Kids grow up "screwed up" a lot of the time because they had parents that DIDN'T pay enough attention to them. Dancing and playing with her is all great, you can try baby games like peek a boo and stuff like that too! Read books to her and give the carachters silly voices! Not only are you doing a good job by showing her she is fun and you love to spend time with her she is also learning all the time! Parents are the #1 teachers for their children!!

You made my day. It is wonderful to hear that you are so loving toward your daughter. I do the same with mine. I kiss her constantly. My mom told me a while back that I should get in all the kisses I can because before I know it she will be pushing me away, not wanting kisses anymore. So, enjoy your daughter as much as possible. She will learn to love the same way.

No such thing as kissing and playing with a baby too much! They only stay little for such as short period of time...enjoy it!

It's ok to play a lot, just make sure the baby doesn't think she needs to be held all the time. If you can't set her down on the floor to play for 2 minutes with out her crying then there is a problem.

I am a single mother and I do the same..i don't think you can love your children too much. Keep on loving on your daughter. There are so many parents that don't love their children and they do become terror's, but only because the don't have that love and guidance.

Absolutely not! I have a video of me making "stupid" noises at my daughter for 20 minutes trying to get her to coo-- I showed it to her the other day and she loves it! I think one of the problems today is not enough dads do take time to care like you are. You cannot hold her too much, and the statement of putting her down every now and then is bunk-- hold her tight and love her lots. sounds like you are a great dad.
