Book Description
Study after study shows that fathers set up their daughters for success. Involved fathers-whether or not they live in the same house as their daughters-boost their daughters' academic achievement, promote their emotional health, increase their compassion for others, and even bolster the status of women.
In What a Difference a Daddy Makes, renowned psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Kevin Leman seamlessly weaves the latest research on fathering with funny, moving stories about his own parenting experiences. He gives practical ideas and inspiration for fathers and provides specific direction for helping daughters grow into loving, confident, caring adults.
What A Difference A Daddy Makes: The Lasting Imprint a Dad Leaves on His Daughter's Life FROM THE PUBLISHER
In What a Difference a Daddy Makes, renowned psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Kevin Leman helps fathers love their daughters in an active way that prepares them for life. Dr. Leman warns against the twin dangers of over- and under-parenting and provides specific direction to help your daughter grow into a loving, self-assured, and giving adult.
What a Difference a Daddy Makes shows us that father-affirmation isn't accomplished in one big moment. The father-daughter relationship isn't a seamless concrete highway: it's more like a gravel walkway, built by adding one tiny stone after another, one little deposit of time, one gesture of concern, one offering of empathy. And that kind of parenting, any father can do.
