Attn: Teenagers----Activities that a Dad can do with his teenage daughter.?

OK. Well I like you because you are divorced and trying hard soo

Try something new that she hasn't done before. Maybe kayaking, bowling, fishing, boating {could just be renting a boat at a local lake and going tubing and skiing}

Maybe if shes the type that reads bring her to a book store {Diary of Anne Frank would be a good book unless shes easily bored, I thought of this cause in the dairy says that her mom acted more like a friend then a mother and she didn't like it}

Make sure she knows that she can talk to you if you say you dont get along very well

But the morale is do something out of the ordinary and audacious so she isnt bored and wishing she is shopping with mom on your watch.

I am 14 myself and I have a sister that is 17.

Go Kayaking! good luck! if you end up doing something tell me about it on an answer to a question i ask or something.

Father Daughter Activities Teenager

Sorry Hun there is just nothing you can do about this one. I'm a 38 yr old mom of a 19 yr old. They think they know it all and have the keys to the kingdom and the rest of us missed the boat somewhere. I know you want her back. That's the hard part. But she is an adult by age and by law. The only thing to do now is be there when she needs you, hold no grudges and move on. You won't loose your relationship or your daughter forever but you gotta let her go to finish growing up the way she thinks is the best way for her now. Believe that you did a good job teaching her what she needed to know and help her when she asks for it when she comes upon something she don't know yet. Everything will work out fine. The best part is that you will both grow and have a closer/healthier relationship from all this. I wish you both the best.

Seems like you have a fair handle on it but let me add... everything you do seems to be the kind of things you would have also done with her at age 12... she is nearly a grown woman now and she is changing. I recommend you start treating her like more a grown woman. Once in a while, to things you are doing now, add in something like having her get all dressed up for a elegant dinner somewhere special. Followed by a show or thee opera or ballet. Also take her to art museums.... Is she going to college? has she decided? Maybe to the 2 of you can visit some colleges..

Strat blending adult type of activities with the things you do now...she will really love being treated like a woman as opposed to a lil girl...

Sounds like you're doing a great job with activities so far. I'm sure she is happy with everything and you don't really need to have more things to choose from.

However, if you still feel like your routine is getting redundant, I would recommend just asking her straight up what she would like to do. That way she will probably feel special, plus it will obviously be something she likes to do, so it should work out nicely.

My dad and I go to hockey games together a lot. Sometimes you can just go out for a nice dinner or something to spend time with her.

I'm not a teenager anymore...but I'm still young hahha.What about mini golfing it's fun...going to a lake or a beach?!

there's a few for you..hope I helped have fun!! Maybe a theme park?! a fair?! play pool perhaps?!or teach her if she doesn't know how to. have fun!

:D

Hey... I am free too, if you are tired...

He he he.. juss joking...

You can always try malls and shopping for them... thats the best and only thing perhaps where they are thoughtful!

Or may be rock-climbing...forests.. something adventerous.

Regards,

the mall would be a nice place
