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

Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters November 15, 2009
James S. Turner
Meeker goes deep into her guidance directives for Dads to give us permission to aggressively do what's right by our daughters throughout their growing years and not fear to lead our precious girls in spite of peer pressure and their own sometimes pernicious ways. Meeker reminds us that it takes work and discipline on our part even when we are worn out from our job, distracted by the newspaper or TV, or simply wanting personal down time. Predictable positive results will be worth it; otherwise, expect the whirlwind if we are derilect.

Excellent service, fast response. One of the most powerful books I have read in many many years. A must for all fathers. Keep it and read it at least 3 timnes in your life. It is just as relavent about a baby daughter as it is for a fully grown daughter!

Dads: if you want to "get it", then get this book. It's written in a very easy-to-read style and it is indispensable whether you just had your first daughter or your fourth!

AWESOME Book September 14, 2009
John P. Dodd
To my fellow dads: you MUST buy and read this book. It is excellent - easy to read and will blow your socks off. As a dad, I knew some of the things she talks about in the book. What I found was a LOT of reaffirmation that I am doing the right thing - and some help in shoiwng me things I had not thought if. Finally it clearly shows the impact - the power - the long term results of what I am and am not doing. If you love your daughter, buy this book
