I’ve read a ton of parenting and parenting related books over the last couple of years. I try to read about what’s interesting to me and parenting is pretty high on the list these days. So, I’ve read about potty training, discipline, diaper changing, co-sleeping, baby slings, baby food – I  read Daddy Needs a Drink and Operating Instructions,  but Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters is hands down the best parenting book I’ve read so far. I think this is the only parenting book that I expect to go back and re-read. Strong Fathers is basically a pep talk for dads; a pep talk with content and the data to back up the pep. The reality is that your daughter needs you – she needs someone to lay down the rules and someone to giver her a hug. I know this kind of talk isn’t always popular, but it’s true. I really think more dads need this kind of pep talk.
