Between Fathers and Daughters

Enriching and Rebuilding Your Adult Relationship

By Nielsen, Linda

Publishers Summary:
At last! A no-nonsense, entertaining, and insightful book for dads and daughters who want more from their relationship--or who want to understand and rebuild it on an adult level. Linda Nielsen addresses the questions that daughters and dads regularly ask her--and a lot more. Based on two decades of work with hundreds of dads and daughters, Between Fathers and Daughters summarizes cutting-edge research in clear language and offers compelling stories about real people--including well-known celebrities. Some of the topics include: Why is it important to try to get more out of your relationship at this point? How can a dad give advice without making his daughter mad? How can a daughter get her dad to treat her like a grown-up? How can a dad get his daughter to stop treating him like a cash machine? How can daughters and dads communicate better when they're so different? How can dads and daughters talk as adults about that one topic that still creates tension? How can the mistakes most dads and daughters make during the college years be avoided? What can be done about a mom's or a stepmom's jealousy? What can be done about those difficult divorce or remarriage issues? How can dads and daughters rebuild their trust if they're barely speaking? What's unique about African American or lesbian daughters' relationships with their dads? What about daughters whose fathers haven't been in their lives? With candor and humor, Between Fathers and Daughters exposes the half-truths, downright lies, and family dynamics that prevent so many dads and daughters from having a more relaxed, more meaningful, more communicative relationship, regardless of age. Eye-opening research facts, tough questions, personal assignments, father-daughter activities, and self-assessment quizzes guide the reader on a personal journey. Explaining why most daughter-dad relationships haven't reached their full potential or have unraveled, Nielsen provides hope as she shows fathers and daughters how to make changes now!
