Title: What Will Your Daughter’s Life Say About You?
Review: Meg Meeker MD’s “Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters” is an A-list book for both fathers and mothers…and for daughters. There is something in this book for everyone.Meeker is a practicing pediatrician and Clincial Assistant Professor at Michigan State University. She has written five other books on the raising of children – “Strong Mother, Strong Sons”, “Your Kids at Risk: How Teen Sex Threatens Our Sons and Daughters”, “Boys Should be Boys: 7 Secrets to Raising Healthy Sons”, and “The Ten Habits of Happy Mothers: Reclaiming Our Passion, Purpose, and Sanity”. She writes from an unabashedly Catholic perspective. Her books draw from her 20+ years of experience as a pediatrician and a counselor to young girls. She has seen the impact of absent parents, promiscuity, drugs and alcohol, and unhealthy friendships on children, their development, and subsequent happiness.In “Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters”, author Meeker outlines the importance of the father’s role in a daughter’s development and ultimate happiness; and she provides ten key “secrets” to guide fathers in navigating the path they must take for success.Secret #1 - “You (the father) are the most important man in her (your daughter’s) life” – is the overarching theme throughout the book. What you do and don’t do has big, big impact on your daughter’s development, overall well-being, and her eventual happiness. When she is 25, she will mentally size her boyfriend her husband up against you; when she is 35 the number of children she has will be impacted by the life she had with you.” Fathers are critical to a daughter’s self-worth and growth - physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.Nine other secrets every father should know follow. They are:1. She needs a hero – Heroes save families. They meet the deepest needs of the human heart. They teach undiluted commitment and faithfulness.2. You are her first love - Your daughter yearns to secure your love, and throughout her life she’ll need you to prove it. Every man who enters her life will be compared to you.3. Teach her humility – Genuine humility is the starting point for every other virtue. Humility means having a proper perspective on ourselves, of seeing ourselves as we really are. It also means knowing that every person has equal worth.4. Protect her, defend her (and use a shotgun if necessary) – Boundaries are a sign of love. The father is a far more effective protector of his daughter than anyone else in life. Teens are getting mixed messages from their schools, churches, and civic groups.5. Pragmatism and grit: two of your greatest assets – Teach her to appreciate grit as nothing makes a heart melt like a man with courage and resolve. We admire men who are willing to risk their lives to help good triumph over evil and have the moral wit to distinguish between the two.6. Be the man you want her to marry – Like physicians, see it, do it, teach it. She needs to see what a good man looks like, she has to know one: a model of masculinity; a man of integrity; a man who inspires trust and respect; a leader; committed to family; willing to sacrifice for them.7. Teach her who God is - Your daughter needs God. You should be glad that she wants to believe in something larger, because you know all too well that many times you will fail her. And the evidence (provided by Meeker) says: religion is protective for kids.8. Teach her how to fight – Reason, experience, and our moral compass help us decide what to do. It is your job to provide your daughter with a moral compass, to be the voice of reason when she talks about feelings, and to show her the power of will that allows you to live with the outcome of moral reasoning.9. Keep her connected - Stay connected with your daughter and make her part of your everyday life. Have her help you with chores, or take her out to a theater, or go on a mission trip with her, but whatever you do, focus on her.Meeker goes into great depth on each of the 10 secrets, providing supporting data and ample real life examples of prodigal daughters that are sure to resonate.I was a single-parent, raising a son and daughter from ages 13 and 10 respectively. I wish this book was around when I took on the responsibility of being the sole parent of two wonderful children. I was not a perfect father but I did do a number of things right. I quit work to be available to both as we adjusted to a life without a mom. I spent time with both and also individually as we shared special events like a football game, a concert, the symphony, and special summer trips to Big Fork, Montana. My children are now doing the same for their children (my son has two and my daughter has five). They grew as did I.Key take-aways of this book include the essential virtues of strong fathers; how a father’s modeling contributes or denigrates a daughter’s self-esteem; the importance of boundaries and how to enforce them; the biggest mistake a dad can make; the importance of faith; and how girls depend on their dad’s guidance well into adulthood.We all know women whose father’s failed them. What will your daughter’s life say about you?

Title: Disturbing, yet Insightful and Instructive
Review: I will be honest: this book was disturbing to me in many ways. It was also educational and incredibly motivating. I am a 28 year-old first time father, and ordered this book after hearing Dave Ramsey mention it.The book was disturbing because Dr. Meeker, in no uncertain terms, exposes her readers to the dark realities that daughters face from school, their social lives, sexual pressures, the media they are exposed to, etc. She does this by citing statistical data, behavioral science, and real-life examples from her work in counseling young women. A few examples: 41% of U.S. girls aged 14-17 experience unwanted sex, 28% of high school students have more than 5 drinks in a row on more than one day in a month, and 47% of high schoolers are sexually active before high school ends. One of the particularly poignant real-life stories Dr. Meeker shares is of a young 10 year-old girl who abruptly withdraws from her father, with whom she had had a good relationship before. After months of this, her parents bring her to Dr. Meeker. Dr. Meeker eventually discovers that the girl had seem some pornography in which there was a man acting aggressively towards a woman. Having no prior idea of what sex was like, she assumed that that was how all men, including her father, treated women sexually. The poor guy had no idea that for months his daughter had been viewing him as a sexual, abusive male (the lesson from this particular story: daughters will be exposed to pornography at a young age, and open communication early on from her father regarding sexual matters is critical).I wasn't prepared for some of this, especially the in-depth discussions on eating disorders and sexual assault. I think most fathers assume that these things will only happen to other people's daughters. However, I'm glad that I read it as it opened my eyes and motivated me to be extra vigilant as my daughter grows up.To be clear, the whole book isn't dark and depressing. The good news, as Dr. Meeker explains, is that the risks above decrease significantly for girls who have engaged, present fathers in their lives. She then outlines many practical ways for men to be more engaged, present, heroic, and loving.Just a few of the many useful gems for me were:-Many daughters will dive into a power struggle with their fathers, not to see how tough they are, but to see how much their fathers really care about them. In fact, many girls complain to their friends about how strict their dads are as a way to "show off" how much their fathers love them.-If a daughter is mistreated, or even abused by someone else, her father's reaction is essential to her ability to recover and move on. Seeing her father get angry when he hears about it and come to her defense, rather than be apathetic, is critical.-If you have a good, loving relationship with your daughter, she is more likely to choose boyfriends who will treat her well.-Tell her you love her for her qualities and characteristics, not external factors like her physical appearance or academic achievements.-How to argue with your daughter.Those are just a few. I highly recommend this book for any dad, whether his daughter is a newborn, teenager, or even a young woman. I will definitely reference this book moving forward as I raise my daughter to be strong.

Title: Step mom view point
Review: Step mom here and I read it to help coach from the side in a nasty 50/50 custody split. I did not like the christian view points but overall I think it did have some good points and ways to explain things to a father. I think it's a bit dated and I would like something with a bit more of this day and age specific advice rather than the stick your head in the ground and try to repress her from becoming a women too fast mentality. As a woman I resent that men assume we lose some part of us if we have sex as teens but yet it fine for their teenage sons??? I would focus more on teaching at an early age how to recognize negative behavior cycles and how the father can teach his daughter to self identify these cycles and break them. Men bring a wonderful ability to analyse and break down problems that young teen girls(well anyone in truth) really need. Men are the calm 'let's back up and look at a problem then seek solution' vs mother are who you complain to when you just need a shoulder. But all in all I would recommend it as long as you are intelligent enough to cherry pick what really applies and works in your situation. I highlighted sections for him to review and put notes and he said my notes were more helpful than the actual passages but it did help him have a different view of his defiant little girl. Anyone else have good books they think are helpful on father daughter relationships???
