Everyone is important, deserves to be treated with love and respect, and needs to know that when they make mistakes they will still be loved unconditionally. And when every member of the family is pulling for each other and on the same team, everybody wins. But is this kind of family life even possible? Parenting expert Dr. Kevin Leman says it is, and he's ready to show moms and dads exactly how they can make it happen in their family - in just five days.
By: Dr. Kevin Leman
Publisher's Summary
From the New York Times best-selling author of Have a New Kid by Friday comes a call to dads to step up to the plate to become the loving, actively engaged father that a daughter needs for life and relational success.
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-known psychologist, New York Times best-selling author, and father of four daughters, will show you not only how to get the fathering job done and done well, but also how to:
- Make each daughter feel unique, special, and valued
- Discipline the right way...when it's needed
- 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 life and relational success
With some effort on your part (and very few dollars), you can gain the kind of relationship you dream of with your daughter - one based on mutual love and respect. The simple yet profound suggestions will transform you into the kind of man your daughter needs...for a lifetime.

Future or Present Fathers Should Get This Book
I don't know how to father a daughter - how would I? My relationship with my own father was not good, and even if it were, that is still father-son experience, not father-daughter experience.
Your daughter will look to you for encouragement, support, and unconditional love. Us men are better at fixing emotions than patiently bearing them with our loved ones. Similarly, the women in our lives don't always realize (how would they?) that keeping emotions under the hood is our way of protecting them, that is, our way of keeping from becoming too emotional ourselves and losing our sense of judgment, and then doing something stupid.
Nevertheless, we mustn't be afraid of feeling our emotions when we are and daughters. Keeping a cold distance from them, compensated by random bouts of "warmness," is both confusing and damaging to their development.
In "Be the Dad She Needs You to Be," by Kevin Leman, we learn how to protect our daughters without being overbearing, defend our daughters without becoming overly-defensive, and engage our daughters with love that is sympathetic and forbearing. Our daughters can be crazy, fun, adventurous, studious, capitulating, stoic, and everything in between; but at the end of the day, we Fathers are the ones who get to walk through those most difficult times in early life with them as reliable guides and rocks of refuge.
We can make it harder, by not understanding, or we can make it easier, by setting our own hurts aside and realizing that our childhood is completely irrelevant to their childhood. These daughters of ours are their own people who will someday head out into the world, and we can leave a good imprint on them, or a bad imprint on them, but we will leave an imprint, and the choice is up to us.
There is something within all of us that makes things which we would never consider doing to our friends or acquaintances seem somehow okay to do to our own family members. I don't know what this nature is, but I know it's wrong, and that circumspect guidance from people like Dr. Kevin Leman is essential if we want to be proud of the decisions we made when we look back upon our lives from our deathbeds.

Encouraging and Practical
At the time of this listen, I am currently going through a rough season relationally with my teenage daughter. But instead of just focusing on what other people were doing wrong or not good enough for my daughter, I realized I needed to be a better father and set better examples and increase my engagement in her life. I realized where I was failing, and it was very humbling and it kinda hurt, and I needed the focus and encouragement this book provided. I know I’ll never be perfect, but I can be better. After applying some of the things I learned from Dr. Leman, I have noticed some small improvements in the right direction. I still have a way to go, but I’m more confident in myself and with my daughter than I was before.
