In today?s increasingly complicated world, it?s often difficult for parents to connect with their daughters?and especially so for fathers. In this unique and invaluable guide, Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician with more than twenty years? experience counseling girls, reveals that a young woman?s relationship with her father is far more important than we?ve ever realized. To become a strong, confident woman, a daughter needs her father?s attention, protection, courage, and wisdom. Dr. Meeker shares the ten secrets every father needs to know in order to strengthen or rebuild bonds with his daughter and shape her life?and his own?for the better. Inside you?ll discover:

? the essential virtues of strong fathers?and how to develop them
? the cues daughters take from their dads on everything from self-respect to drugs, alcohol, and sex
? the truth about ground rules (girls do want them, despite their protests)
? the importance of becoming a hero to your daughter
? the biggest mistake a dad can make?and the ramifications
? the fact that girls actually depend on their dads? guidance into adulthood
? steps fathers can follow to help daughters avoid disastrous decisions and mistakes
? ways in which a father?s faith?or lack thereof?will influence his daughter
? essential communication strategies for different stages of a girl?s life
? true stories of ?prodigal daughters??and how their fathers helped to bring them back

Dads, you are far more powerful than you think?and if you follow Dr. Meeker?s advice, the rewards will be unmatched.

?Reassuring and challenging . . . a helpful road map for concerned fathers [that] tackles difficult issues.?
?National Review

?A touching, illuminating book that will prove valuable to all of us who are fortunate enough to have been blessed with daughters.?
?Michael Medved, nationally syndicated radio talk-show host, author of Right Turns

?Dr. Meeker?s conclusions are timely, relevant, and often deeply moving. No one interested in what girls experience growing up in our culture today?and the impact that parents, especially fathers, have on the experience?can afford to miss reading this book.?
?Armand M. Nicholi, Jr., M.D., professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

Must read for all fathers

This is a great book and a must read for father's of daughters of all ages. It is also a easy read that can be broken up into short chapters each day. Very applicable.

Great for all fathers and future fathers

I have a few more years before I'm ready to take on the responsibility of being a father, however, my sister recommended this book for me to gain a better understanding of the magnitude of the father-daughter relationship. The facts and statistics made me much more aware of how dangerous our society has become and the challenges it poses for children. Dr. Meeker explains straight forwardly how us men need to raise our daughters and backs her advice on her scientific findings and uses actual examples of scenarious she's dealt with in her practice. I would receommend this to every father or future father.

if you're a Dad, why would you NOT read this book?

Good message, good examples, well-written, easy-to-read.

Do I give 5 stars for everything I read? No- actually- I can think of another book on raising boys that I read that was pretty weak.

But this is written by a woman who knows what she's talking about (she is a doctor who works with kids and sees their interactions with their parents). All of her points that are opinion are supported by examples from her work. All of her points that are factual are well-referenced.

In other words, she's not just saying what she thinks and what she's observed. She spent a good bit of time researching this material.

MUST read- even if you only have boys, because inevitably, you will have a daughter-in-law, right? and then hopefully grand-daughters....
