My daughter is turning 16 in December, she can cook and sometimes will bake, but... as we live on a farm she loves to go out with dad, to drive a tractor, to be between the cattle. I never stopped it, because as a child I thoroughly enjoyed going out with my farmer-dad too.<br />But I loved wearing dresses, I followed a needlework course and am a stay-at-home HS mother of 4.<br />My daughter on the other side hates dresses. She doesn't want to learn any needlework, although she is fond of plants and gardening.<br /><br />Can one change these attitudes at this age? And then, what about her personality and interests? Shouldn't she pursue it too?<br /><br />Hope to find answers....as we have only this one daughter (our oldest child)Huisvrouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683408653166432591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-85008880178438322922010-02-18T20:56:42.143-06:002010-02-18T20:56:42.143-06:00That is my prayer for my life and I'm blessed ...That is my prayer for my life and I'm blessed to have a mother who desires and prays that for me.<br /><br />In Christ,<br />ShelbyShelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15370297266094320530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-17667118909922344222010-02-18T20:50:10.252-06:002010-02-18T20:50:10.252-06:00Love your blog!

I know that when I was growing up, I was always told "control your emotions" and because of this, I grew up to suffer anxiety attacks from holding in my feelings. I was punished for them so I'm a little iffy on teaching my daughter that she may only cry for a certain amount of time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-51210909541088582292010-02-12T23:50:38.540-06:002010-02-12T23:50:38.540-06:00I can't wait to sit, with a cup of tea and my ...I can't wait to sit, with a cup of tea and my laptop and read through the wealth of inspriration I know I will find on your blog!

I and my Mother both read your posts and are very encouraged by them. I have also been to your daughters blog as well.<br />I publish a magazine for young girls,called Hearts for God, to help encourage them in their femininity and walk with Christ. I have been looking for good pictures/article for it, and pictures for my blog, which is http://heartsforgodmagazine.blogspot.com I was woundering if I could use some of your pictures and/or some of your articles in my magazine. Thank you so much for your ministry in the Lord, may he bless you!<br />Bethany Ward<br />P.S.

She is at a very rude and crude stage and since all her friends act the same way it is difficult to get her to see the sense in what I'm trying to teach her. I'm praying that God will put the desire in both my daughters hearts to be schooled at home but right now I know all I would meet is resistance. Thank you for the post though. It's through yours and others that I have had my eyes opened (a little late) to the Godly attributes that should follow us as Christian wives and mothers. I wish I would have gotten all of this before I had children!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828101746733753375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-85517569429579624062010-02-11T01:22:09.180-06:002010-02-11T01:22:09.180-06:00And...I think daughters need to be loved and adore...And...I think daughters need to be loved and adored by their dad's...so they know what to expect in a husband! :DJulie Harwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246850029056713294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-66441760455932278372010-02-10T21:39:58.407-06:002010-02-10T21:39:58.407-06:00I needed this- thank you.I needed this- thank you.Chantelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053758715467123972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-43146702682285319942010-02-10T21:17:48.388-06:002010-02-10T21:17:48.388-06:00Great post!

I am a little confused on point 4-a (...Teach them when they are little how to love and serve Dad, so that Dad will enjoy being around them.) As her father, shouldn't Dad enjoy being around his children without them having to behave a certain way? Aren't we called as parents to love our children without condition?
