Summary
Drawing on her 30 years' experience practicing pediatric and adolescent medicine, teen health expert Dr. Meg Meeker explains why an active father figure is maybe the single most important factor in a young woman's development. In this invaluable guide, Meeker shows how a father can be both counsel and protector for his daughter as she grows into a spiritually and mentally strong young woman. From cradling his newborn to walking her down the aisle, a father must relish his paramount responsibility - guiding the course of his daughter's life. Meeker reveals:
- How a man can become a strong father
- How a father's guidance influences every part of a woman's life, from her self-respect to her perspective on drugs, alcohol, and sex
- How to lay down ground rules that are respected without creating distance in your relationship with your daughter
- Why you need to be your daughter's hero
- The mistakes most fathers make and their serious consequences
- How to help daughters make their own good decisions and avoid disastrous mistakes
- How a father's faith will influence his daughter's spiritual development
- How to get through to you daughter, even during her toughest don't-talk-to-me years
- True stories of daughters who were on the wrong path - and how their fathers helped to bring them back

A counter-culture book
Very easy reading and full off great advice. I feel like it could be more detailed regarding some advice, but overall it is a very informative and an eye opening book. Just wish many more men could read it, even if they have boys instead of girls.

I really liked it
It's a very good read. Then up to you to filter out what is relevant for you and what not.
Sometimes the points are built on really extreme situations, which don't really apply mainstream.
I encourage anyway every dad to give it a go.

A good gift for all fathers
The book reminds fathers that their mere presence and love has a powerful effect on their daughters. It seems to me that the book also brings home just how much harm young women do to themselves because of an obsession with physical appearances. The book gives tips on how to help them to see that their human dignity and beauty runs far deeper than that.

Plenty to think about
This is a good listen. You may not agree with everything suggested in the book, but it certainly makes you think. Listen to this sooner rather than later!

A lot of useful things to know
A lot of the content of this book is good common sense. The author emphasises how important a father's role is to his daughter's life, which I think is true but I often forget. This book has been a good reminder. As other reviewers have commented the author writes from a Christian perspective. Whatever your view on this, Christianity offers a view of what's good for human flourishing, which is interesting to hear. Sometimes I think the author is a little too fearful. She works as a doctor and sees lots of problems, which perhaps colours her perspective. Nevertheless it is good to know some of the things that can go wrong (EG anorexia) and how to recognise some of the symptoms.

Doctors are not psychologists
The book is definitely written from the viewpoint of a physician. However, doctors on not supposed to deal with the emotional issues of their clients. They are trained to prescribe medicine and to diagnose physical issues. Psychologists on the other hand are trained to diagnose and treat mental problems. Being married to a psychologist, I can see that very little of the "advice" in this book is based on psychological assessments.
