Dr. Chheda – A lot of dads get really upset when their sweet little girl who was always attached to dad, wanting to do things with dad, all of a sudden says no and doesn’t want to do anything with dad anymore, and only wants to hang out with her friends. This is completely normal. All adolescents have to go through this phase where they turn away from their family and they are attached more to their friends. It’s not that they’re saying no to dad, that’s how dads always feel, and it really really breaks their hearts when their little girl goes away. But it’s to help the adolescent become an independent person. They still love their dads and they will still come back to dads. So dads if you’re watching this, have heart, your girls still love you and they will come back, just give them a little bit of time. Transcriptions from AI and may not be 100% accurate
