Some great information!

'Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters' by Dr. Meeker is a great book offering some fantastic information to fathers who are raising a daughter. The book is broken down into her '10 secrets'. As with all 'help books', please keep in mind that all the information is one point of view, and this should be part of a first step in the investigation.

That being said, it was refreshing to read this book and realize that Dr. Meeker is a woman and daughter. I found a number of her points very helpfully and made me think about how I react and deal with certain situations. However, woman may see some fo Dr. Meeker's points to be antiquated, and copunter to some of today's more forward thinking women.

I feel that this book raises issues that all fathers should look at, reflect upon, and choose to (or not) react. The fact that you are, at a minimum, thinking about issues that may not appear for a few years is a great first step.

Great insight into how your daughter thinks

A fantastic book that informed as well as challenged me as a father. I learned a tremendous amount of information about what a teen girl faces in our society today. Armed with this information, the author throws out a series of challenges to the father on how to deal with these realities of his daughters world, how to be a man and fight for her and how your actions will define your daughter's experience of how you love her. I would recommend this as a must read to any father who has young daughters.

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
