What must I do to prevent my daughter from growing up??

can't be done. the best you can do is hold a picture of her in your heart as she is now.

it's probably the only way to survive the teen-age years... ;-)

Not a bad question... I dont want my daughter to grow up either. But I believe it is morally and sociably wrong to not teach her to grow up. You want your daughter to succeed in life and so do I. Help her and she will grow into a wonderful human, i am sure. Dont neglect her needs either...it can cause some bad mental upsets and regrets. It could possibly make her angry or even suicidal. It is demeaning to try to treat your children like children when they are older. I want my daughter to grow up so that I can see her as being independant. I dont want her to have to depend on me when she is in her 20's or older, yes, I want to have a close relationship, but I want to see her as a woman not a child. And when she acts like a woman, men notice that and then she will not attract those who just want to use her. SHe will find a man who will be proud that she is a woman and will love her for her not becuase of some other reason. Good luck.

You can't stop it physically or mentally she will grow up. You can however help to grow into the best person she can possibly be. If you attempt to keep her a child sooner or later she'll come to hate you for doing it. Better to help her grow provide her with guidance and understanding. Support her when she needs help. Be there for her always.

why won't u want ur daughter to grow up?don't u want her to grow up and one day take care of u?and in honesty,there is really nothing u can do to stop her from growing up.best thing u can to for her is be there for,protect her,and guide her in the right directions to be a better person.

There is no way to stop this from happening. She IS going to grow up. She will not be your little girl forever. How you deal with it will determine whether or not you have a good relationship in the future.

why would you want to keep her little forever.they do grow up.shoot your asking how to keep yours from growing up and were trying to make an 8 yr old quit acting like a helpless baby

I think the question is how to make people like YOU grow up?

No way. No how. Just give up.

I'm a daughter, and my mom always wants me to stop gowing up. The more you push them to stop, the more they'll push to keep going.

Now, more than ever, whatever you say, they're gonna do thae opposite. good luck and hope that helps!

there is nothing you can do to prevent her from growing up! Why would you want to?

first you must openly encourage her to freely smoke 30 cigarettes a day thus stunting her growth....... then you must deprive her from all sensory things... e.g radio, television.... school etc....... encourage your child to wear nappies around the house.....'all good little children do this' , tell her....

next, never let her go out again........ remove all clocks and suchlike from the house so that she loses all concept of time...... also remove mirrors..... mirrors are no good at all.... NEVER and i mean NEVER celebrate birthdays......this way at age 26 when she says 'mommy can i go out now'.... you can easily say no baby you are not old enough.....

teach her the "right" way to speak..... bunny wabbit, gee gee not horse...... efalump not elephant....... etc and blah blah blah

feed her on a strict diet of alphabet soup, spaghetti hoops and real nutritious things like that.....

make ALL dresses pretty with bows and stuff.......
