EVEN WHEN I go to a Yankees game, I take my five daughters along with my older son.

My daughters, now 13 and 11, always go with me to hockey games and we watch them on TV, as well. We've been doing that since they were 9 and 7, and they LOVE hockey.

Definitely important, BUT, we fathers not only have to allow our daughters into our worlds, we have to go into theirs as well. Go to "teas". Go to "cast parties" after ballet performances. Go "shopping" with them.

Take an interest in their lives. Much harder to do, but much more effective than trying to get them interested in something in which we are already interested.

My dad always took us to Yankee Stadium. Little did he know that it would be something we both love and still today remember the good times with him at those games.
