Description

Back Cover Copy:
"I want to marry somebody just like..."
Surprise! 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 acclaimed psychologist, New York Times best-selling author, and father of four daughters, will show you how to:

  • make each daughter feel unique, special, valued, and receptive to your ideas.
  • discipline the right way.
  • 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 relational success.

Whether your daughter lives with you part-time, full-time, or not at all, you can gain a warm, lifelong relationship—one based on mutual love and respect.

Do I have to be a perfect dad?

Being a dad to daughters is hard. What with the hair bows, the drama, and having to talk about your feelings all of the time—it seems men and women really are from different planets. So what does a dad need to do to connect? And how can you be:

  • actively engaged in your daughter's life?
  • happily nestled as the #1 man in her heart?
  • proudly entrenched as the rock-solid foundation of the family?

You, smart dad, can make a lasting difference. And you don't have to be perfect—just an involved, caring dad. The simple yet profound suggestions in Be the Dad She Needs You to Be will transform your relationship with your daughter and motivate you to be the kind of man your daughter needs you to be . . . for a lifetime.
