Exactly what Dude said. What does your dh LIKE to do? The father-daughter bond is really SO crucial. As they go into their teen years, what they have done together even now is going to matter so much. Your dh has to find ways to bring in things that HE enjoys into their relationship. Little girls don't have to be doing girlie things every moment of the day. While my girls have always enjoyed dolls, they have also enjoyed building with Legos, going to the Build and Grow workshops at Lowe's, playing various sports, reading books together, taking photographs together, science projects, nature walks, etc. There are so many possibilities. Your dh has to really figure out a way to tap into HIS interests and share them with your daughter.
