Birkhead: Houston's daughter can learn from memories of her mother
Birkhead advises Bobby Brown to "be available and be ready"
Birkhead says Anna Nicole's daughter is asking more questions about what happened to her

The father of Anna Nicole Smith’s child said Friday that Whitney Houston’s daughter is going to have to be strong in the coming weeks and months as she hears the things people in the media are saying about her mother.

Larry Birkhead told “Nancy Grace” producer Natisha Lance that 18-year-old Bobbi Kristina should view parts of Houston’s life as a cautionary tale. Unlike his daughter, Dannielynn, who was less than a year old when Smith died in 2007, Bobbi Kristina will have memories of her mother’s good times and bad times.
