Dave's Thoughts

Both my girls were practically grown and gone the first time I discovered Meg Meeker's Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, but it still had a huge impact on how I talk to and relate with them. Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: The 30-Day Challenge is the book I wish someone had given me the day my first daughter was born!

Publisher's Notes

• Spend uninterrupted, scheduled time with your daughter by:
  • Taking her on a date, dancing, or into nature
  • Taking her to work or teaching her to handle money responsibly
  • Doing an art project or planting a garden together
  • Treating her mother well
• Use the reflection questions to examine where you are as a dad right now and where you'd like to be this time next year.
• Use the checklists with important reminders so that you're committed to follow through and adequately prepared for the challenges.
• Adapt the challenges from simple to involved, depending on your time availability, comfort levels, and age of your daughter.

The 30-Day Challenge is not like any other guide you've used before. It becomes a cherished handbook as you evolve in your role as a father and as your daughter becomes a mature adult woman. Use it now and experience it in one way. Use it when your daughter is a few years older, and enjoy a different outcome.

Reviews

Meg Meeker radically changed the way I look at parenting and fatherhood. There is joy, wisdom, and truth in everything she writes, and I will be the first in line to buy each new book she shares with the world. Jon Acuff Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Quitter and father of two daughters

Raising four daughters while playing professional football was very demanding. Dr. Meeker is oh-so-accurate when she points out just how observant and impressionable young girls can be! Her work always inspires me to do a better job, and The 30-Day Challenge is filled with lots of good ideas. Thanks, Meg!
