A Mighty Girl

Love this tribute to all of the Mighty Dads out there!

This "Dads Don't Babysit (It's called 'Parenting') t-shirt was modeled by Al Ferguson of The Dad Network, who told the BBC: "I've had people ask me 'Are you looking after the kids today?' Or 'I can tell you've dressed the baby today. It's just out of date. The modern dad is more active in their family life than they were historically. It's out of date to assume the mum is the primary caregiver... Now there are more working mums and more stay at home dads. There's been a cultural shift. I think that people need to move with the times."

For an uplifting picture book that celebrates the special relationship between dad and daughter, we highly recommend "Because Your Daddy Loves You" for ages 4 to 8 at http://www.amightygirl.com/because-your-daddy-loves-you

For more of our favorite books about dads and daughters, check out our blog post, "A Father’s Love: A Mighty Girl Celebrates Dads," at http://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=11474

And, if you're looking for dad/daughter bonding activity ideas, these titles are filled with great ideas: "Just Dad and Me" for girls ages 7 to 12 and their dads (http://www.amightygirl.com/just-dad-and-me), "Dad's Book of Awesome Science Experiments" (http://www.amightygirl.com/dad-s-science-experiments), and "Maker Dad: Lunch Box Guitars, Antigravity Jars, and 22 Other Incredibly Cool Father-Daughter DIY Projects" (http://www.amightygirl.com/maker-dad)
