Phonics They Use - Words for Reading and Writing (Paperback 7th Revised edition) - Patricia M Cunningham Product Description
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!
