This essential read for fathers aims to foster connections with their daughters and raise confident young women in today's complex world. Drawing from thirty years of experience in pediatric and adolescent medicine, Dr. Meg Meeker emphasizes the critical role of an active father figure in a young woman's development. She illustrates how fathers can serve as both counsel and protector, guiding their daughters into spiritually and mentally strong individuals. From the early days of cradling a newborn to the pivotal moment of walking her down the aisle, a father's influence is paramount. Meeker covers key topics such as becoming a "strong father," the impact of a father's guidance on a woman's self-respect and views on drugs, alcohol, and sex, and establishing ground rules that maintain closeness. She highlights the importance of being a daughter's hero, the common mistakes fathers make, and their serious consequences. Additionally, Meeker offers strategies for helping daughters make wise decisions, the influence of a father's faith on spiritual development, and effective communication during challenging teenage years. Through true stories of daughters who found their way back with their fathers' support, this guide provides insights on nurturing, strengthening, or rebuilding father-daughter relationships for mutual growth and fulfillment.

V této knize Dr. Meekerová identifikovala 10 nejpozitivnějších návyků matek, které jsou zdravé, šťastné a naplněné.
