Raising children in today's world is incredibly complex. Raising girls seems to me to be even more so. I freely admit I know little about the intricacies of raising girls, but one thing I do know is that fathers play an important role in their daughters' self-esteem . I wanted to share an exchange between one father and his 16-year old daughter in their Swagdad group chat - they were engaged in a "pun-off" of the herb and food variety. Despite the misspellings and the strange herbs like "bandhaniya" common in the Caribbean, you'll get the idea. (Cider is a pun on her sister's name) I think that this "Daddy", my brother, is doing a great job keeping his daughter close.
