About this Quote

This quote by Enid Bagnold speaks to the cyclical nature of fathership. A dad is constantly attempting to shape his infant into a little lady, teaching her the values and skills she requires to end up being an independent grownup. As she grows, he enjoys her become her own person, and ultimately, when she is a lady, he turns her back once again, permitting her to take the lead and make her own choices. This quote speaks with the value of daddies in the lives of their children, and how they can help form them into strong, independent ladies. It also speaks with the concept that daddies ought to not be too controlling, however should rather enable their daughters to make their own decisions and find their own paths in life.
