The Little Mermaid: The Father and Daughter Relationship Values

The father-daughter relationship in The Little Mermaid is complex and often fraught with tension. King Triton loves his daughter Ariel very much, but he is also very overprotective of her. He wants her to live a life that he deems appropriate for a mermaid princess, which includes staying under the sea and following the rules of the ocean. Ariel, on the other hand, is curious about the world above the sea and dreams of becoming human.

Here are a few DoV Thoughts on father and daughter relationships:

A father is not perfect and will make mistakes. He will make mistakes out of love because he wants what is best for his daughter.

Daughters can grow to be strong and independent young women which means she may go against her father's wishes. A father must accept his little girl in her maturity as a woman.

The relationship between a father and a daughter is complex and always evolving. However, the bond between a father and daughter is one of the best relationship a girl could ever have in her life.

Thank you dads and Happy Father’s Day!

Take Back Your June Gloom Season

Here are some tips on how to overcome the June Gloom Season:

• Stay active. June Gloom can make you feel sluggish, so it's important to stay active. Go for a walk, hike, or bike ride. Or, try something new like rock climbing or surfing.

We are still in awe of the Little Mermaid and we are loving Disney’s spotlight of Hailey Bailey as Ariel. Although the movie has several storylines, we are appreciative of the father and daughter narrative which taught us how to grow in independence, stand in your values, be your authentic self, and appreciate your first love which is your dad or a man who has shown the love as a dad in your life.

This Father’s Day I am cherishing every moment I spent with my dad. He was my protector, provider, and gave provisional love I will never forget.

Also, I am remembering my son Christian’s dad Johann. He was such a special man and he was the most amazing and funniest person who lived on this planet and I miss him dearly. What I will take from this Father’s Day is to be thankful of the special men in my life and cherish our moments and let them know I love and appreciate all of them.
