For dads with a daughter, if you'd like to figure out what is a good father, here's a
book that could be really interesting—whether you're a new dad and even if you are an experienced
one, as I was.
Hi, I'm James I. Bond, founder of The Father-Daughter Project. I'm also father of a son and three
daughters. And let me tell you, when it comes to knowing what is a good father, few people
understand it better than dads who've gone through the experience themselves.
The question of what is a good father is more complicated than many people realize, especially
for a man raising a daughter.
Most people don't realize that raising a daughter is different from anything a man will ever
experience. I know because, even though I ran a training and behavior management company,
I discovered first hand how difficult it could be to understand what is a good father.
And when I searched for help and advice, all I got was a bunch of so-called experts. Their
help was nice, but I needed something fast and simple, that dealt with the real issues
involved in understanding what is a good father and what is not.
So, to learn about what a good father was really like, I went right to the source, real
fathers of daughters. And what they told me was amazing.
In the end, more than 101 fathers of daughters agreed to be interviewed. More than 200 hours
of recorded interviews from real dads talking about their own experience with learning what
is a good father. The good, the bad and everything in between.
They talked about every phase of raising a daughter, from their first experience of her
birth, through the twos, the school years, the teens, her getting a driver's license,
and up through adulthood. All the stuff that only a dad would know.
But because no book covered what is a good father without laying a ton of judgment on
dads, I've made this available in a new book, called THE SECRET LIFE OF FATHERS.
In it you get to learn all those little things, not just about being a good father, but about
being a good father to a daughter. Some of the complicated things, and plenty of the
really fun ones. The kinds of stuff only a real father of a daughter would be able to
tell you.
And the best part is, it's in bite-size pieces, so it's really easy to read and scan.
When it comes to learning and understanding what is a good father, people are telling
us, this is like the first-ever real, training manual for fathers of daughters.
If you're a father to at least one daughter, regardless of her age, you owe it to yourself
to check this out.
THE SECRET LIFE OF FATHERS, one of the best books you'll find on leaning what is a good
father, cause it's from real dads!
