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 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

Great Gift
I got this book for my husband who has had a hard time communicating and relating with our daughters. He hasn't read the book yet but was very appreciative and excited to read it. In his words "Anything to help is appreciated" I think this book will definitely give him some insight on how to react to certain situations and help him understand that a momentary action can last a lifetime when it comes the girls.

Great Book!!
This book is a MUST HAVE for all fathers of daughters! This book will give you insight on just how important you are to your girl(s) and how your relationship with her will have a positive (or negative-your choice) impact on her future, her self-esteem, etc. You must read this book so you get it right - for your daughter's sake!!!

Peaked his intrest!
When I told my husband that I purchased a book for him to read on fatherhood; His reaction was not what I expected. He felt that no book could tell him how to raise a child...He would just learn through trial and error... :) So stubborn... He actually decided to read a few chapters of the book and he loved it! Said the topics are highly appropriate and that he will take a lot of the advice as our baby girl grows. We can't wait for her arrival!
