Why Girls Need Fathers
Of all the bonds between family members, those between
fathers and daughters are sometimes the closest but are
often also the most tenuous. And while many do acknowledge
the importance of a father in a boy's life, the huge impact
a father has on his daughter is less publicized and more
elusive.
Many daughters crave a better relationship with their
fathers but are unsure how to approach their dads. Many
fathers desire closer bonds with their daughters but are
similarly perplexed. Since 1990
Dr. Linda Nielsen of Wake Forest University has taught
the only university course in the country that focuses
exclusively on father-daughter relationships.
Nielsen, a professor of Adolescent Psychology & Women's
Studies, is the author of the new book "Embracing
Your Father: How to Build the Relationship You Always Wanted
with Your Dad." While there are many books about
mother-daughter relationships, Nielsen's is the only one
written for daughters about specific ways to strengthen
their relationships with their fathers.
Dr. Stephen Johnson , founder of the
Men's Center Los Angeles,
often works with fathers
seeking to build or rebuild their bonds with their
daughters.
