52 Things Daughters Need from Their Dads

Most dads love their daughters, but they're uncertain how they can show that love in a way their daughters understand...or figure out what their girls really need from them.

Jay Payleitner has given thousands of dads great, man-friendly advice in his bestselling 52 Things Kids Need from a Dad. Now Jay guides his readers into what is unexplored territory for many of them--girl land--giving them ways to...

• do things with their daughters, not just for them
• lecture less and listen more
• be on the lookout for "hero moments" and take advantage of them
• realize that their daughters are females...and tailor their actions and responses accordingly
• give their daughters a positive view of the male sex

Dads will feel respected and encouraged--not made to feel guilty--and they'll gain confidence to initiate activities that build lifelong positives into their girls. Great gift or men's group resource.
