Dealing with a daughter who doesn't seem to value modesty

[enril]

Part of this sermon is about modesty. I watch a few of this guy's sermons, and they are pretty good.

Ask her what she would think if a guy wore stuff that revealing.....

I'm just wondering if there's any advice there
I'm a married dad with a daughter who has just turned 14, and you know how teens tend to dress nowadays
I'm a Christian man who values modesty and doesn't think it's appropriate for girls that age to be showing cleavage or shorts that are barely covering thighs, and with events like teen discos coming up into her life I'm worried even more, some of the things worn there would barely pass as underwear

I'm not sure how to deal with this as my wife doesn't see the big deal with her dressing like her firends do and how most girls do
and seeing instagram and tiktok posts from her in everythign from low cut tank top or crop tops to even bikini pictures from the beach / pool
it's a struggle I'm doing badly with

Hello Dad! Oh the joys of parent-hood right??
I raised two daughters and have 3 teenage grandchildren, so here's my best advice.
Let daughter know that how she is dressing bothers you. Speak from your heart and make it plain from a man's perspective. Let her know that you do not want men viewing her body parts and tell her why...men are attracted physically by what they see...girls her age do not always understand this. This is why mom is usually the one to hold to the modest code. If mom is not doing this you still need to as head of the household...
Don't be afraid of speaking the truth in love- it's your responsibility and obligation.
Heavenly Father,
I pray for this father, that you would help him with this sensitive message that needs to be communicated. Help him do this in a spirit of love, not causing division with his wife but join their hearts as one in parenting and all matters of the house...in Jesus' name I pray.
