Boris Kodjoe Reminds Us of the Beautiful Bond Between Fathers and Daughters
They show us that relationships between men and women can and should be about something other than sex.
Of course conversations about sex and puberty can be difficult between any parent and child, but especially between a father and his baby girl. I believe, however, that fathers are their daughters’ first teachers that relationships and affection shown between men and women doesn’t always have to be sexual. My father was one of my first homies. When I was seven we would cruise the Toys R Us aisles on his payday before my mother got off work. Now that he’s in his early sixties, him and my sister argue over which actor played the better “Dr. Who”. My father taught me that conversations with the opposite sex don’t always have to include hormones and anatomy.
