I think perhaps a start would be in instilling in the girls a sense of self worth, a belief that a special boy who wants you, who thinks he loves you will value you all the more if you make yourselves wait a while, that the first time you jump out of a plane, bungee jump or even have sex, it should be a time so special you will both remember it. Teach them that any boy will go with any girl who has dropped them, and the queue is not one of respect, and she is worth far more. I think with daughters its good if they know their dads love them and value them, and it gives them an idea maybe of the sort of man they would want to spend their lives with - or maybe sadly sometimes - not.
MM - what if its a first time thing? A man in their grandads peer group? Wouldnt that seem too close to a certain type of tourist to Thailand?
