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

I have a few more years before I'm ready to take on the responsibility of being a father, however, my sister recommended this book for me to gain a better understanding of the magnitude of the father-daughter relationship. The facts and statistics made me much more aware of how dangerous our society has become and the challenges it poses for children. Dr. Meeker explains straight forwardly how us men need to raise our daughters and backs her advice on her scientific findings and uses actual examples of scenarious she's dealt with in her practice. I would receommend this to every father or future father.

just reading the table of contents, you can get a an idea...some good concepts. but why do the authors insist on bringing superstition into it? How can teaching a child god myths be good for them? Morality...yes, mythology as truth, no.

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

It was nice to be validated as a father, especially coming from a professional (not lash back driven) intelligent woman as Dr. Meeker. Great practical stories that connects a mans heart to his daughter.

The short list.

-Tools that are usful.
-Stories that relate.
-Validation as a man/father/husband.
-To the point
-No psyco garbage but yet smart

Good message, good examples, well-written, easy-to-read.

Do I give 5 stars for everything I read? No- actually- I can think of another book on raising boys that I read that was pretty weak.

But this is written by a woman who knows what she's talking about (she is a doctor who works with kids and sees their interactions with their parents). All of her points that are opinion are supported by examples from her work. All of her points that are factual are well-referenced.

In other words, she's not just saying what she thinks and what she's observed. She spent a good bit of time researching this material.

MUST read- even if you only have boys, because inevitably, you will have a daughter-in-law, right? and then hopefully grand-daughters....

As a first-time father decided to get this book since it did look promising at first. Unfortunately should have checked out the one-star reviews. This is a terribly written book, based on questionable statistics. The "scientific evidence" that the author claims support her beliefs is questionable at best. It manipulates the facts and misleads readers into thinking that there is tons of evidence in support of her views. Just check the references -- statement after statement refers to the same book or study.
In one word -- mediocrity.
