Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know

If every father followed the simple advice in Meg Meeker's book this world would be a phenomenal place. Fathers have been pushed out of the picture for many years- this book illustrates their irreplaceable crucial role in the lives of their daughters. Every mother and father should read this book to improve their parenting skills.

I bought this book thinking it might give me some advice on how to raise my daughter, being a first time father. Unfortunately, it did nothing for me. The author fills your head with negative and doomsday stories about girls she saw as a MD and does not offer any positive side to anything. I finished about 3 chapters before I, literally, threw this book across the room. It angered me more than anything else.

The author doesn't have any children of her own, and seems to think she can preach to the reader how a strong father can bring up a strong daughter. The author also provides about 90% common sense ideals along with 10% sob stories of girls she saw as an MD. Honestly, none of her information helped me or changed the way I'm raising my daughter. As an intelligent and strong adult and father, I think I had a better idea of how to bring up a strong daughter before I opened this book.

Stay away from this book, unless you enjoy becoming enraged before you go to sleep at night.

I was raised in an all boy family and we had two boys of our own so I've had no experience raising daughters. Even though I'm the grandfather, I found this book an excellent book on having a great relationship with a granddaughter. All of the author's advice was not just based on her opinions but she showed actual research and her own experiences as a basis for her recommendations ("secrets").

This book was referred to me by a friend. After reading the first few chapters it felt like the writer was trying to solve their own personal guilt. Poor read so I returned it.

This book reveals Dr. Meekers amazing insight into the pitfalls our daughters face in today's society. READ THIS BOOK, you could be saving your daughters life!!
