Great for all fathers and future fathers

I have a few more years before I'm ready to take on the responsibility of being a father, however, my sister recommended this book for me to gain a better understanding of the magnitude of the father-daughter relationship. The facts and statistics made me much more aware of how dangerous our society has become and the challenges it poses for children. Dr. Meeker explains straight forwardly how us men need to raise our daughters and backs her advice on her scientific findings and uses actual examples of scenarious she's dealt with in her practice. I would receommend this to every father or future father.

Must read for all fathers

This is a great book and a must read for father's of daughters of all ages. It is also a easy read that can be broken up into short chapters each day. Very applicable.

if you're a Dad, why would you NOT read this book?

Good message, good examples, well-written, easy-to-read.

Do I give 5 stars for everything I read? No- actually- I can think of another book on raising boys that I read that was pretty weak.

But this is written by a woman who knows what she's talking about (she is a doctor who works with kids and sees their interactions with their parents). All of her points that are opinion are supported by examples from her work. All of her points that are factual are well-referenced.

In other words, she's not just saying what she thinks and what she's observed. She spent a good bit of time researching this material.

MUST read- even if you only have boys, because inevitably, you will have a daughter-in-law, right? and then hopefully grand-daughters....
