I had a father ask me "Is the movied Fireproof appropriate for my Daughter to watch with me? She is 18 years old, but I have not previewed the Movie so I am asking."
My answer to this gentlemen:
I have not viewed the movie Fireproof. My son and daughter have and my daughter (27) says it is a good movie with a message. From what I've heard about the movie and from movie goers, I would not see an issue taking your daughter to see this movie. Follow your heart.
The simple fact that you are thinking of taking the time to spend with her is a good sign. That is an indication of a good father in today's times.
I think children in these times are shielded a little too much from real life. This shielding in itself makes them vulnerable to attacks from issues and real life. It confuses them, because they did not have the hand of a their mom or dad to go through similar events at a yonger age.
I encourage you to walk with her and teach her that things are not a fairy tale all of the time. Teach her that things are real in life and love and marriage. Be there for her when her puppy dies or she loses the attention of that young man she has such a crush on and go through it with her...
We used to say that kids did not pay much attention to those things. It just seems to me that kids grow up quicker now and have a higher mentality of things than we did at the same age.
If she has a crush and is hurt do not shrug it off as puppy love. Puppy love is serious step in the learning process of love later in life.
Two thumbs up to the dads who are interested in their daughers like this young man.
Love you all;
