How to Father a Successful Daughter Book

A father-daughter relationship is a special bond—and it requires very special attention. Statistics show that a father's caring presence can make all the difference in raising a daughter who strives to reach her potential. Step-by-compassionate-step, How to Father a Successful Daughter gives men high-quality parenting skills that will promote self-esteem and confidence in their daughters. Here is concrete, sympathetic advice and helpful suggestions on how to:

¸ Instill self-respect and boldness in your little girl—and avoid unintentionally programming her to become fearful and underachieving
¸ Encourage risk-taking, goal-oriented behavior with safe and specific techniques and activities
¸ Keep from sending your daughter messages that can result in eating disorders, learning blocks, and emotional dependence
¸ Work with your wife (or ex-wife) to give the best overall parenting to your daughter

Armed with these reassuring strategies, fathers will learn to communicate with their daughters with love, wisdom, and understanding.

Despite all the gains the women's movement has made in the past 20 years, there has been some slippage in recent times. Now, an expert reveals how fathers can arrest this backward drift, whether teaching girls skills such as athletics and economics or merely instilling self-confidence.
