Daddies and their little girls have special types of relationships that can’t be found anywhere else.
From helping her ride a bike for the first time to holding her hand as she enters her first day of kindergarten, you can always see their pride for their baby girl. As she climbs on her daddy’s back for a piggyback ride, you can see her eyes light up bright with excitement and love.
The bond between daddies and daughters isn’t just something we see, it’s something that science backs as well! When fathers are an active part of their children’s lives, they grow up healthier and happier!
A study from Princeton University followed the lives of 5,000 people. The results showed that the loss of a father during early, developmental years can cause a lot of problems later in life. These include not only issues concerning mental health, but physical as well.
Another study that took place in 2012 by a Pennsylvania State University research team showed interesting results as well. Their study indicated that a child with an active father is more likely to have higher self-esteem when compared to those without one.
One of these beautiful interactions can be seen in a heartwarming video posted on Facebook by Laura Richardson. It may not be very long, but it says so much about the relationship between her husband and their adorable daughter.
Mommy takes a video while her daughter Keeton stands on a counter wearing pink PJ’s covered in giraffes. Daddy stands behind her supporting his daughter to keep her safe while she watches herself and dad in the bathroom mirror.
That’s when the daddy and daughter duo start one of the cutest duets ever to grace the internet! The pair sings together their own rendition of The Temptations’ “My Girl” and it couldn’t be any better!
Things may have gotten off to a rocky start, but the two get into it quickly and the cuteness begins. Daddy busts out the first line of “I got sunshine,” while his daughter listens in. On cue, she belts out, “Cloouuddy day!” as the parents stand by in awe. Keeton sways to the duet while her daddy holds her hands and away she goes!
Daddy continues cueing Keeton with the first few words of each line and she sings out the rest herself! Her falsetto may not be perfect and the lyrics may not always be accurate, but the song is perfect just the way it is!
As daddy dances, Keeton sings, “My girl,” and the internet couldn’t be more delighted. Whatever words she may add to the song just add to the cuteness! She’s rocking out to Motown with her Daddy and everyone loves it.
Daddy truly is proud of his girl and the internet can see the love in his eyes! As a doting dad, he’s one of the luckiest people in the world.
