Many great father-daughter books highlight the benefits of being an engaged father, cite statistics about the impact fathers have on a daughter’s life, and give practical advice about how to foster such relationships. But once the stage has been set, many dads don’t know what to say or how to approach conversations with their daughters.
Using her decades of experience in counseling young women and coaching fathers, Michelle Watson has created a step-by-step template for having conversations that build a stronger bond through laughter, vulnerability, honesty, and self-disclosure. Let’s Talk is filled with dozens of scripted questions that walk fathers through the levels of creating a heart-to-heart connection with their daughters by communicating the right way. Through this easy-to-read guide, dads will learn how to listen and build trust as they move from get-to-know-you chats to deep discussions that dive into their daughters’ struggles, hurts, and hopes.
