Editorial Reviews: Product Description In today#8217;s increasingly complicated world, it#8217;s often difficult for parents to connect with their daughters#8211;and especially so for fathers. In this unique and invaluable guide, Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician with more than twenty years#8217; experience counseling girls, reveals that a young woman#8217;s relationship with her father is far more important than we#8217;ve ever realized. To become a strong, confident woman, a daughter needs her father#8217;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#8211;and his own#8211;for the better. Inside you#8217;ll discover:brbr#8226; the essential virtues of strong fathers#8211;and how to develop them br#8226; the cues daughters take from their dads on everything from self-respect to drugs, alcohol, and sexbr#8226; the truth about ground rules (girls do want them, despite their protests)br#8226; the importance of becoming a hero to your daughterbr#8226; the biggest mistake a dad can make#8211;and the ramificationsbr#8226; the fact that girls actually depend on their dads#8217; guidance into adulthoodbr#8226; steps fathers can follow to help daughters avoid disastrous decisions and mistakesbr#8226; ways in whichi /ia father#8217;s faith#8211;or lack thereof#8211;will influence his daughterbr#8226; essential communication strategies for different stages of a girl#8217;s lifebr#8226; true stories of #8220;prodigal daughters#8221;#8211;and how their fathers helped to bring them back brbrDads, you are far more powerful than you think#8211;and if you follow Dr. Meeker#8217;s advice, the rewards will be unmatched.brbr#8220;Reassuring and challenging . . . a helpful road map for concerned fathers [that] tackles difficult issues.#8221;bri#8211;National Review/ibrbr#8220;A touching, illuminating book that will prove valuable to all of us who are fortunate enough to have been blessed with daughters.#8221;br#8211;Michael Medved, nationally syndicated radio talk-show host, author of iRight Turns/ibrbr#8220;Dr. Meeker#8217;s conclusions are timely, relevant, and often deeply moving.

Customer Reviews: Read 95 more reviews... Amazing book January 6, 2009 My husband says this book has given him great insight for our daughters 11 and 15. Great book for my husband! January 4, 2009 We've owned this book for over a year, since I bought the summary from ParentsDigest for my husband. I thought it would help my husband understand the importance of his role in our daughter's life - and I was right. He refers to it often, whenever he's feeling like he needs a pointer on how to help strengthen their relationship, or doubting the value of it as she grows older. Borrow it if you really want to - but don't buy it. December 27, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book is okay but it is somewhat preachy. She states a lot of her opinions as fact. She does make some nice valid points but somewhat too conservative for everyone's taste. br /br /Overall it's a bit over rated. br /br /My husband wasn't too impressed either. Exceptional Book for Fathers December 26, 2008 This book has helped me so much. I have two young daughters and now, I feel like I have a greater understanding of how to love them - even into the teenage years! It meant so much to me that I bought ten copies and gave them to my friends and relatives. Please buy this book for the special father in your life! Excellent book December 12, 2008 The only book my husband has read, from cover to cover, in over 10 years. : )
