Daddy Dates Book Review

Daddy Dates: Four Daughters, One Clueless Dad, and His Quest to Win Their Hearts: The Road Map for Any Dad to Raise a Strong and Confident Daughter
By Greg Wright
ISBN-10: 1595553207
ISBN-13: 978-1595553201

Daddy Dates is a helpful book that helps any father out there to pause from their day to day activities and take some time to focus on one of the really important things in life: family. The author, a father of four daughters, focuses the book on how to best build a great relationship between father and daughter in the hopes of raising a daughter who will grow up to be the kind of adult that every parent hopes their child will grow to be. So the premise of the book is on how to build that relationship.

The authors goes into detail and provides some good examples on how to build those relationships between father and daughter. He talks about the need for trust, and that in order for trust to be built, a father needs to spend time individually with a daughter, talk with them on a regular basis (on meaningful conversations), and do activities with them that they value and are important/meaningful to them. It's the building of this relationship, combined with rules or boundaries, that fosters the connection between a father and daughter. And it's this strong relationship/connection that will encourage and foster those daughters to be what all good father's what them to be: from finding a mate to career path to what they will ultimately value in life.

It's a good read for any parent of a daughter or daughters who is concerned or questions if they are doing the right thing or doing things right when trying to raise their daughter(s).
