Dear John,

When you think about what dads do for their daughters, what comes to your mind?

Telling corny jokes.
Driving the family car on trips.
Bringing her flowers at ballet recitals.
Walking her down the aisle at her wedding.

Dad, you play a very important role in your family — in big ways and small ways. But let’s be honest: It’s not easy all the time. When your daughter’s tears start flowing and emotions run high, what do you do? Relating to your growing girl can be challenging.

God didn’t wire her emotionally the way He wired you. But as a dad, it’s your job to figure out how to reach her and be the father she needs.

In this month that we celebrate Father’s Day, I want to help you by telling you about a book that could change your relationship with your daughter.

It’s called Be the Dad She Needs You to Be by renown psychologist Dr. Kevin Leman, who is also a father to four daughters. He writes this book as a call to dads to step up to the plate to be the loving, actively involved father that a daughter needs for life.

John, the most impactful relationship your daughter has is not with her mother — it’s with you! Her self-esteem, behavior, character, life choices, even her ideas about a husband are all directly tied to you and your relationship with her. 

Be the Dad She Needs You to Be will show how to be a great dad and will help you transform into the kind of man your daughter needs for a lifetime.

Don’t feel helpless or confused about the emotions a growing girl feels. Get a copy of this important book and set her up for relational success by being the dad she needs.

Click here to get your copy right away for a gift to Focus on the Family for any amount.

As a fellow dad of a daughter, I will be praying for you!

May God bless you and your family!
