Parenting Tips: In India, daughters are the pride of any home, they are considered the pride of the family. In such a situation, they are brought up with utmost care. Parents want to educate their daughters and also want to make them self-reliant, for this they send the daughter out of the house. However, the safety of girls is the biggest concern for parents in today's era. During this time, with increasing age, physical and mental changes also take place in the lives of daughters. This is the time when the support and teachings of parents help in laying the foundation of confidence, innovation, and a positive attitude towards life in the daughter.

The age that needs the most attention in raising a daughter is 16 years. At this age, your 16-year-old daughter is leaving childhood and entering youth. In such a situation, the role and responsibility of parents increases. Here are some important things that every parent must teach their 15-16-year-old daughter so that her future can be improved and life can become happy.
Self-care
Remember that a child cannot always live with his parents. If you want your daughter's dreams to have wings and she learns to fly, then teach her to take care of herself. Pamper your daughter but tell her how to live in society. Teach her to take care of herself, take care of her health, lifestyle, shopping, spending money carefully, etc. so that she is prepared for the future. Whether it is going out of the house for studies or a job or taking responsibility for in-laws after marriage, she will be prepared for every situation.
Self-reliance
Make your daughter self-reliant. Teach her how to live life. In this era, every girl should be self-reliant. It is the responsibility of the parents to prepare their daughter for this. From motivating her to do her small tasks herself to carefully preparing her daughter to go to school alone. Teach her to face failure along with facing every situation bravely.
The reality of social media
In today's digital age, the influence of social media is very deep. But she must understand that everything visible is not the truth. Do not be influenced by the praises of social media, but focus on the goodness within you. Give information to your daughter about the use of social media and how much to trust it.
Open communication
If you want to show your daughter a better path or stop her from going on the wrong path, then communicate with her openly. Assure her that she can talk to you about everything and you will not criticize her for it. When the daughter openly expresses her thoughts and questions to the parents, then the parents also guide her properly. If she makes a mistake, then she can accept it in front of her parents without hesitation, and the parents can help her solve her problems.
Teach to say 'no'
Every girl needs to understand that it is not wrong to express her disagreement. Be it friendship, relationships, or social pressure, one must have the courage to say "no" wherever needed.
