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 whicha 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 |

 Written on July 16, 2008 Summary: Being a Good Dad Isn't Hard But It Does Take Work I loved the tone and message of this book which is basic to everything in life - anything worth doing is worth doing well. That doesn't mean it comes easy, in fact it may be a lot of hard, painful work, but if it is something you care about, like your daughter and your relationship with her, it is worth doing right. Unlike many parenting books, this one isn't overly 'preachy'. It also focuses on attributes men tend to have and how to use those attributes to be a good father - be strong, be firm, be supportive, be involved. I highly recommend this book to the average dads out there who want to do the best they can for their little girl. This book speaks very well to the average dad. It acknowledges our flaws and focuses on our tendencies - men are problem solvers - and points out that in some cases, this is exactly what your daughter is looking for. Meg Meeker does an excellent job of inserting anecdotes of fathers and their struggles in their role as well as some true stories about daughters that were not so fortunate. Although Meeker does delve some into religion, she doesn't overdo it. Her presentation throughout the book is very pragmatic and objective. For example, she makes a point in one chapter about religious beliefs and how it is important for fathers to be clear about their beliefs with their daughters. Even if those beliefs are not in the mainstream, she observes that what is important is to be clear and communicate that to your daughter with an awareness that those beliefs may not be accepted by all. Meeker's message is that the key is to be clear in those beliefs, honest and strong. Meeker makes a critical observation that is contrary to many popular parenting ideas today. That is don't be afraid to be strong, don't hesitate to be assertive. Often, that strength and assertiveness is the guidance and support girls are looking for, whether conciously or unconciously. Written on July 8, 2008 Summary: A must read for every dad with a daughter This book is really wonderful! I had a great dad growing up who did the things in this book naturally and the author clearly and simply lays out how much girls need their dads. My husband is reading it for our daughter right now. This book really made me cry and appreciate how good of a job my dad did. Written on July 1, 2008 Summary: A strong dose of perspective. Dr. Meeker's book provides fathers with an unflinching glimpse into the world that girls are growing up in today. She provides bleak statistics about the dangers of promiscuity, drugs, unrealistic body image and the lack of a moral compass provided by society. She follows this up with evidence of how fathers who stick to their guns can help their daughters not only survive, but thrive in the face of these various snares. She continually reminds fathers to look at the world not through their own eyes, but through the eyes of their daughters and provides various scenarios for fathers to consider. My daughter is five and I am glad that I read this book now. I plan to re-read it again and again as she grows older. I highly recommend it. Written on June 9, 2008 Summary: Every father should read this Here are 10 secrets every father should know. These secrets are based on current evidence (in the scientific literature), as well as Dr. Meeker's personal experience as a pediatrician. While much of it seems like common sense, I was sure glad to get confirmation of what I thought. I read it while my daughter was an infant, and I'm sure that I will read it several more times again as she gets older. The only way you'll know these secrets and of their importance is to read this book (now and again and again). Written on June 9, 2008 Summary: Great book for fathers, daughters, and mothers. Great book which gives a lot of insight into the father / daughter relationship. My wife has confirmed that pretty much everything in the book is accurate, particularly the esteem in which daughters hold their fathers. Dads - you need to read this book to understand what a profound effect your actions have on your daughters' happiness and development. This book will make you realize you need to "step up to the plate" and be the best dad you can be, and be the hero your little girl needs you to be to set her reference point for everything else in her life, especially her eventual spouse. |
