Product Description
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

 Good book March 13, 2010
D. Stanton (CA)
i got this book after seeing a post on facebook about how good it was. It does have some good suggestions and does make any dad realize how your daughter really needs you. Best of all, amazon got it to me fast! I would recommend this book to all fathers regardless of how old your daughter is.
 Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters March 9, 2010
Michelle R. Helton (WHITELAND, IN, US)
I purchased this book for my husband. He has fathered two sons before getting involved with me (and my daughter). He has dove into being the best father he can be to my daughter and requested this book. From the time he started reading this book, he suggested I read it too. He absolutely loved it and is totally embracing how important his role is in shaping her life. I plan to read it in the near future.
Dads, read this book! March 1, 2010
XX Grande Blanco (Tustin, CA)
If you are a dad, and you are like most men, you are looking for the shortest review on this page to help you decide if this book is worth the purchase price and your time. Well, I have hundreds of books, and this is THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ ON THE SUBJECT!!!
This is one of the top 10 books I have ever read, and know that it has -- and will continue to -- affect the way I raise my daughter.
Dad, BUY THIS BOOK NOW!....Highlight within, read it over and over again, share what you have learned with others, give it as a gift, and read it again! This book is a MUST for you dad!
Amazing book! February 24, 2010
MBA Student (TN)
What an amazing book. It's an eye-opener for any dad (or dad to be). I HIGHLY recommend any dad's read this ASAP, then read it again.
All fathers (and mothers) need to read this book! February 12, 2010
Don Pendergraft (Edmond, OK United States)
Men, you are more important than you think in the lives of your daughters. I have a son and three daughters ranging in age from 5-15 years. I've been following most of what Dr. Meeker suggests just intuitively. Now I understand the why and feel validated for being a strong leader and example. Mothers, this book will help you understand the important role of fathers, what things that you can do to support him, and what you simply are not equipped to do by virtue of being a mother rather than a father. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Buy it already!
