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.

September 28, 2004: This book is geared more for a man. How to help him be a better father and what happens when the father is absent from a woman's life, how it affects her. It was a good read, but I was looking more for a book from a woman's point of view. I can't make my father read the book, even if I give it to him, plus I am already an adult. The last chapter also starts talking about the authors religion, a little too much.
