After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of 15, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he'd fought so hard to forge when his children were young - particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one's own.

Publisher's Summary
Drawing on her 30 years' experience practicing pediatric and adolescent medicine, teen health expert Dr. Meg Meeker explains why an active father figure is maybe the single most important factor in a young woman's development. In this invaluable guide, Meeker shows how a father can be both counsel and protector for his daughter as she grows into a spiritually and mentally strong young woman. From cradling his newborn to walking her down the aisle, a father must relish his paramount responsibility - guiding the course of his daughter's life.
Meeker reveals:
- How a man can become a strong father
- How a father's guidance influences every part of a woman's life, from her self-respect to her perspective on drugs, alcohol, and sex
- How to lay down ground rules that are respected without creating distance in your relationship with your daughter
- Why you need to be your daughter's hero
- The mistakes most fathers make and their serious consequences
- How to help daughters make their own good decisions and avoid disastrous mistakes
- How a father's faith will influence his daughter's spiritual development
- How to get through to your daughter, even during her toughest don't-talk-to-me years
- True stories of daughters who were on the wrong path - and how their fathers helped to bring them back

Trash
This book is clearly written by a feminist. There is no reason for a woman to be telling a man how to be a father. That advice should come from a man who has successfully completed the task.
According to the author everything bad in the world has happened because a father failed his daughter. The authors also demands that a man/father must sacrifice himself for the benefit of a daughter and wife. This sacrifice has not limits. I am pretty sure it is possible to be a good father without becoming the door mat of a wife and daughter and subject yourself to the whims of every psychotic thought that goes through a woman’s head.
I truly hated this book and it was torture forcing myself to finish it. The only thing I found of value was the narrative the author gave about the thought pattern of a teenage girl. I found that part scary.
If you are a father to girls like am, I recommend you seek advice from someone who has successfully raised daughters. I haven’t found the enlightenment I was looking for here but will continue to search.

Misleading and disappointing
As a dad of two little girls I was primed to really enjoy this book. The start had me ready to dive in. But I was extremely disappointed to find out that this was conservative morals disguised as a book for father to true understand and help their daughter. After the introduction it starts immediately with straw man arguments and becomes very preachy with very little research based input. It is all under the illusion of I am a doctor and therefore I am qualified to comment on this subject. But you can tell it is all very superficial and has another agenda. I can’t say the narrator did a bad job. But the content left a lot to be desired.

Kind of sweet, kind of preachy
I like the idea of this book, as a source if inspiration and guidance for fathers of girls. It is nice to hear how much influence we have in our girls' lives, and in ways we don't always realize.
That said, this book is high opinionated and voices its opinions in a way that makes them sound like facts. It uses a lot of "shocking" statistics to prove how scary the world is and how bad things are getting for girls. These facts are rarely put in a larger, more optimistic context that includes the amazing progress that the world is making for our girls. I found its "the sky is falling" attitude uninspiring and got tired of being lectured and moralized at.
In many ways, this book is the opposite of the much more effective "How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk", my personal favorite parenting book of all time. If you read this book, then read "How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk" as a counterweight!

Some decent ideas but...
If you're a straight, conservative, Christian, married man, this book might be for you. I found it a bit close minded and seemed like everything came down to promoting abstinence and how to avoid eating disorders. Those are valid concerns but it wasn't very enlightening.

Listen to this, if not for you then do it for your Daughter!
This is an excellent Audio Book, that covers a wide range of topics that will help you be the best dad you can be, but more importantly give your Daughter the best she can be, giving her the tools to create the life all our children deserve.
I would recommend this to any Father with children of any age, whether they be a baby, toddler or adult woman. The teachings in this book will be of great benefit & add to your skills as a parent.
I would also recommend this to any mothers who do not appreciate the importance of a father in their child's life. This follows my experience of being separated from my little 3 year old Angel for 9 months after her mother TRIED to stop me from ever seeing my daughter again. Fortunately my Daughter & I won the battle.
Fantastic Read - Thankyou for sharing

Very biased towards certain politico-religious
As a new father, I thought this would be a helpful book. The narration is fine, but unfortunately the science is wrapped in and often conflated with right-wing Christian values. As such it came across as very judgemental of non-traditional lifestyles, including divorcing parents (going so far as to suggest that fathers should “stay with their [daughter’s] crazy mother” even if miserable, because to do otherwise would harm their kids. I managed about 2 hours of trying to discern fact/ science based advice before giving up and returning it to Audible.
I also thought the disparaging way the author spoke about other professionals, such as psychologists, was inappropriate and disrespectful.

Doctors are not psychologists
The book is definitely written from the viewpoint of a physician. However, doctors on not supposed to deal with the emotional issues of their clients. They are trained to prescribe medicine and to diagnose physical issues. Psychologists on the other hand are trained to diagnose and treat mental problems. Being married to a psychologist, I can see that very little of the "advice" in this book is based on psychological assessments.

A lot of useful things to know
A lot of the content of this book is good common sense. The author emphasises how important a father's role is to his daughter's life, which I think is true but I often forget. This book has been a good reminder. As other reviewers have commented the author writes from a Christian perspective. Whatever your view on this, Christianity offers a view of what's good for human flourishing, which is interesting to hear. Sometimes I think the author is a little too fearful. She works as a doctor and sees lots of problems, which perhaps colours her perspective. Nevertheless it is good to know some of the things that can go wrong (EG anorexia) and how to recognise some of the symptoms.

Where you assume your daughter has no agency
Strongly advise to avoid. It assumes my daughter has no independent thought and that my role is to imprint on her and effectively see fatherhood as trying to create a mirror of myself. Potentially I looked too much into examples where success as a doctor and father was having my daughter be a doctor. This book seems more fixated on influence over guidance and that is not what I want my role to be.

This book had some useful information but I feel it was spoiled by the author's frequent, subtle (and at times not subtle) references to God and religion being an important factor in a father's ability to properly raise a daughter.
The regular returns to God eventually made it difficult to focus on the subject matter.
If you aren't a religious person, this isn't the book for you.

This book scared me half to death.....
....as a dad with a 9yo daughter. I can't recommend this book enough for any father of a daughter. Yes you will be hiding under the covers, shaking with anxiety once you complete it, but as a father, this book has been a great source of insight in to my daughters head ;)

Good book for dads and daughters
I found listening to this book very easy. The book is directed at fathers but as a daughter I learnt some things about myself. The stories that Meg uses to illustrate her point are very effective in keeping listener engaged.

For every Dad.
In order to give our daughters every chance of a safe and happy life, our job is to continually be present and let go of that which harms us (as a Dad and as a person). So many realizations this book has given me but the one that strikes hard is the idea that my daughter needs me more than I ever realised. My eyes are open and my heart has expanded. Thank you so much!!
