Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of Have a New Kid by Friday comes a call to dads to step up to the plate to become the loving, actively engaged father that a daughter needs for life and relational success.

The relationship that matters most to your daughter isn't the one with her mother - it's the one with you, Dad. Her self-esteem, choices, behavior, character, and even her ideas about or choice of a marriage partner are all directly tied to you, as the most important representative to her of the male species.

In Be the Dad She Needs You to Be Dr. Kevin Leman, internationally-known psychologist, New York Times best-selling author, and father of four daughters, will show you not only how to get the fathering job done and done well, but also how to:

  • Make each daughter feel unique, special, and valued
  • Discipline the right way...when it's needed
  • Talk turkey about what guys are really thinking
  • Keep the critical eye at bay
  • Wave the truce flag when females turn your family room into a battleground
  • Set your daughter up for life and relational success

With some effort on your part (and very few dollars), you can gain the kind of relationship you dream of with your daughter - one based on mutual love and respect. The simple yet profound suggestions will transform you into the kind of man your daughter needs...for a lifetime.

Definitely recommend

This book was a great read/listen. The narrator does a great job of presenting Dr.lemans work . I don't have any children at all but this book has helped set a foundation to work on as far as being a good father when that presents itself.

l plan to re-listen annually

This made real clear and pointed all the things you feel and know that you should be doing, but often don't do as much as I should. At least for me, I knew in the back of my mind that it was important to show and tell my daughters I love them, but I've been doing it a whole lot more since listening to the book.

Helped me think in a more involved way

I have one daughter who is my only child and want to be the best dad I can. This book helped me look at the relationship I have with my daughter in different ways. Questions I didn't know I had were evolved in my mind and then put to action due to this author's multiple female offspring. Good book but don't let it take you down a negative path thinking it's too late to change. Finish the entire book and apply what you've learned from it into your life it seems to help.
