Summary:
"In Talk with Her, fathers learn that "communication" with daughters doesn't mean having "big" conversations all the time. The author covers nineteen fundamental topics defining a daughter's life with information fathers need to address them, including body positivity, gender and sexual identity, negative peer influence, academic achievement, and financial literacy. For each topic, the author provides background knowledge, including cutting-edge research, expert perspectives, and terminology to help bring topics into focus; goals to help focus fathers on deeper, more lasting impacts; talking points for conversations; and specifics on what to say and what not to say." -- Provided by publisher.
