The most important person in a young girl's life? Her father
Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters
by Dr. Meg Meeker
That's right - and teen health expert Dr. Meg Meeker has the data and clinical experience to prove it. After more than twenty years of counseling girls, she knows that fathers, more than anyone else, set the course for their daughters' lives. Now, she shows you how to strengthen -- or rebuild - your bond with your daughter, and use it to shape her life, and yours, for the better.
Directly challenging the feminist attack on traditional masculinity, Dr. Meeker demonstrates that the most important factor for confident, well-adjusted women is a strong father with conservative values. To have one, she shows, is the best protection against eating disorders, failure in school, STD's, unwed pregnancy, and drug or alcohol abuse -- and the best predictor of academic achievement, successful marriage, and a satisfying emotional life.
(continued from above)
Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters reveals:
- The essential virtues and characteristics of strong fathers - and how to develop them
- How daughters take cues from their fathers on everything from drug use, drinking, smoking, and having sex, to self-esteem, moodiness, and seeking attention from boys
- How to "be the man you want her to marry"
- Why girls want you to place restrictions on them (even though they'll complain when you do)
- How to become a "hero" to your daughter - and why she needs that more than anything
- The one mistake fathers make that is the primary cause of girls "hooking up"
- How fathers act as a check on female emotions -- which can lead to trouble
- Why girls depend on the guidance of fathers through, and even beyond, their colleges years
- Debunked: the dangerous notion that girls "need to make their own decisions and mistakes"
- Why girls need God - and how your faith (or lack of it) will influence her deeply
- Contraceptives and depression: the alarming links
- Communicating with your daughter: do's and don'ts
- True stories of "prodigal daughters" - and how their fathers helped bring them back

A must read for all dads. I've worked with troubled young women for a number of years and know from personal experience how the lack of dad hurts them. This was the first book I bought for my son in law when I knew he was going to parent a girl. I was encouraged by Meeker's advice. Being a good dad isn't complicated or difficult--but it does take conscious effort.
I would recommend this book to all fathers (and mothers). I think the young people in our country today would be better off if more parents read and took to heart the information Meg Meeker offers in this book.
If you are considering this book, please read it, you won't regret it!

This is an excellent book for fathers who want to help their daughters grow to be well rounded women. If you love your daughters, read this book.
