A lot of teen girls don't want to go out with their dads anymore just like some teen boys don't want to go out alone with their mom anymore. If she feels uncomfortable being out alone with an older man, it should be family going out, not alone with dad anymore. Teens start separating themselves to become individuals.

All I had to do was read the first 3 words: "Should I force...?" No matter what the problem or subject matter is, the answer is "no." You cannot force anyone to do anything, nor should we try. The greatest influence is love.

So many red flags here. The dad wants to repair his relationship with the child by forcing her to engage in activities HE likes, and that kids should please adults. He sounds emotionally empty and self serving. I think the mom needs to protect her daughter from her father. He doesn’t sound safe. I would not require my child be alone with him at all.

“Should I force my daughter to do activities with her dad?” Are you joking? Why would anyone do such a thing? You must be aware that your daughter may have very good—-even self-protective—-reasons for avoiding him. Why, then, would you force her into a potentially harmful situation?
