About this listen

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 you 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

Learn how to grow, strengthen, or rebuild your relationship with your daughter to better both your life and hers in the best-selling Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know.

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.

Good book for dads and daughters

....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 ;)

This book scared me half to death.....

I tried reading this book and although it was very good, found it to long to get through.
I listened to it on audible and found it easy listening and full of good advice.
Definitely recommend listening.

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!!

For every Dad.

In a world of make-up and BS Tik Tok parenting advice this is a book written by a doctor, a parent and someone who truly understands how to raise strong and beautiful children. Thank you so much for this!

This is what we need!

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.

Too much focus on God

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.

Where you assume your daughter has no agency
