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 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. Written on May 31, 2008 Summary: The best daughter/dad book I've read This book is realistic and helpful regarding the dangers out there for our daughters (e.g. STDs) but also offers real insight into what daughter's need and want from their dad (though they won't always tell you upfront). As an M.D., mother and wife, Meg Meeker is in a great position to write about the topic and she does an awesome job. The book is factual but doesn't get bogged down because it is so intimate and intersperses real stories to make some of its points. As a dad of a 14 year old daughter I am fortunate my friend gave me this book. It is by far the best daughter/dad book I've read. |
