5By RSanchez101It’s a cheat sheet for fathers. It’s a must read.Just Amazing!
5By strange_brewAs a father of 4 daughters (and 2 sons) I am constantly trying to ensure I am “doing it right” - but I feel like I fail more than I succeed. A friend recommended this book to me, and I could not put it down once i was in. I have been trying to practice these lessons, and learn from past mistakes. Every father should read this.Interesting content but creepy
2By rariblakeChapter one is about how to monitor and guide your daughter through her sexual formative years . It’s gross and distrusting. The basis of connection with your daughter shouldn’t be shame and fear , or even an over investment in her sexuality/ virginity .
