Q A few years ago, I read an article you wrote about why dads should play with their daughters. My husband is a pretty traditional guy, and he has a real problem playing with our 4-year-old the way she wants to play (tea parties and dolls), not the way he plays (sports and superheroes). How can I encourage him to get over himself and do what’s best for her?. A The place to start is to give your husband specifics about the many ways playing with his daughter will help her. First, it’ll make her happy — and that’s incredibly important. Second, he’ll be helping her learn skills that come in handy as she grows.

DEAR AMY: When I was 18, a friend of my father’s, who I knew through a community group, asked to meet me for coffee. After coffee, he put his young daughter in their car and then sat with me in my car for a few minutes, holding my hand and telling me how he had been thinking of me over the last couple years, while he was going through his divorce. He ended this statement by kissing me. I fled as soon as I was able to, and never said anything about it to anyone.
