Any household is incomplete without a daughter. They fill the house with love, laughter and happiness and stay connected with their families even when they start a new chapter in their life by entering matrimony. Concerned about the well-being of all their loved ones, daughters of today often shoulder multiple responsibilities, at the cost of their physical and mental health. While they should get love, support and equal opportunities, sadly, it’s not the case in our country where gender inequality is rampant.

National Daughters Day is celebrated in India on the fourth Sunday of September every year and the day reminds people of the beautiful treasure in their house called ‘daughter’. This year, National Daughters Day is being celebrated on September 24. The day also serves as a reminder to bring to focus many issues surrounding girls like infanticide, dowry, and foeticide, need for education, child marriages etc. Many other countries celebrate the day on October 1 while World Daughters Day is observed on September 28.
A daughter should be pampered at all stages of life not just childhood. There are many ways you can make your daughter feel special on this day. Pamper your little princess by gifting her what she likes to play with (not necessarily dolls). Spend a lot of time with her and listen to her heartwarming thoughts about life, friends and her future. For teenager daughters, a gift appropriate for their age and a heart-to-heart conversation about the problems they face in general is the most appropriate. For grown-up or married daughters, make sure to appreciate them for what they do for you apart from arranging a cosy get-together with all her loved ones.
