Select a daughter or if you're still single (bachelor) think as if you've one of what she'll be when she grows up. Enumerate the kind of support you'll give her till the time she attained the ambition you've set for her. Good luck!

I have an 18 year old daughter. She went off to college this year. Her major - business with an emphasis in International Business. She came home last night for dinner, said she is not enjoying any classes except for her Japanese class. After mush talking, she is going to change her major to Asian Studies. When she reaches her limit in Japanese, she will move on to Chinese. She has an amazing head for language. She speaks English, Spanish, French and is now working on Japanese. Oh yeah and she has been studying sign language for two years! So now her focus is going to be interpreting. She wants to study a semester in Japan next year. What is my hope for my daughter? See above. Her dreams are my dreams for her. It is always best to let them follow the path they feel. I implore all parents do NOT put your dreams on your kids. Let them find their way. As I told my daughter last night, do what you love and you will never work a day in your life!

I agree, and that is the path she thought of, to help in UN or courts, to help people that need it! I am VERY proud!

I reiterate to give her the encouragement to pursue the language course. It's a new course and employment is quite sure because of less competition. Good luck!

Let me congratulate you, laglen for the kind of a loving and understanding mother that you are. I know you are going to continue the needed support until your daughter achieved her goal. It's a rare course that your daughter is taking and as I see it, she's going to land in a much better job than usual. Knowledge of languages is badly needed in courts, embassies, etc. Good luck!

if i have a daughter i want her to become a perfect woman yet have some tolerated weakness.. i want her to become more success than me, more beautiful and more talented than me.. i will teach her like my mom teach me.. to be a dilligent student, and to be full respect to everybody older then her.. i will not allow her to befriend with the naughty gang or stuff like that.. i want the best for her education and if she have a talent in everyway (music, or other art, or maybe in sports) i will encourage her to develop it by taking course or else.. and someday when she is going to married, i will make sure she already find the best partner who can be with her happyly till the end :)

As a friend, I wish that your dream would come true; nurtured her to be a perfect woman as you would want her to be. Good luck!

I never set my mind on managing dreams for my daughter. I just always says to her that whatever dreams she wants to be I will just support her whatever it takes. I just want her to be happy and contented of what life she wants to be. I am always here by her side giving her love, care and support.

I am all praise for you, and wish to congratulate your daughter for having a kind, loving and supportive mom like you. While saying this, my thought goes astray to unfortunate motherless daughters who chart life their way. And beseech God to help them.

I want her to be a good example and inspiration and a blessing to others. But I also want her to be who she is. And of course to be always faithful to God. I hope she'll be successful, to have a good education and a good career.

all that you wish for your daughter to be are indeed the basic needs and aspirations all mothers wished for in their daughters. We wish them all happiness and a successful married life in the end.

Anything she would like to do if that will make her a living. Children change their minds in what they want to become. For my son is easier, he likes the ballroom dancing, and he wants to be a professional dancer. I can t be more pleased. My daughter since an early age she is talking about marriage and having children. Time will tell, i want for her the best and its up to her what she would like to do in the future, she is having my support and love to help her in realizing the dream.

The best we can is guidance- proper guidance. Everything, every issue must be shared between the parties (parent and daughter). Parents must give enlightenment, advise, insights, info, comments, suggestions. Daughter, I believe, must have the final decision, not imposed by parents.

I would want her to believe in what she wants, be who she wants. She doesnt have to be like me as long as she is someone better than i could ever be. Because that would me that i taught her well or even better than i could ever think of.

Great! Like a plant, she'll grow in a fertile environment. You are there to pick her up when she falls.

She should grow up to be what ever she wants to be. Of course we want our children to succeed in life. But its their decision on what they want to be.

Of course she'll be within the ranges of your eyes and nose for proper guidance. Like a ship, parents are there as rudder to guide the way.

If I will be having a daughter, I want her to be like me. I want her to grow up with fear in God, respect for her parents and a loving woman. I want her to be ambitious and be a successful woman in any career that she'll choose.
