So, what prompted me to do this project? When my wife was pregnant with our first child, I felt as prepared and
ready to raise a child as I thought I could be. After all, my sister and all of my friends had baby boys I gained
experience with. When she gave birth, and the nurse told me 'You have a healthy baby girl', I was thrilled to hear the
word 'healthy' but realized I had no experience with baby girls."
In 1989 I searched for books for new fathers and found there were very few books available in that category...and
nearly none for fathers on raising girls. Needless to say I learned on my own, but not always successfully. I recognized
through the process that my daughter not only learned from me, but I from her as well."
One year ago, I was in a bookstore and happened by the Maternity/Parent section and once again could not find
anything on this subject and this idea was born.
I thought I would put a book together on a father's guide to parenting a daughter. I decided it to be in the format of
'Chicken Soup' series because I feel that the best way to learn is from others who have been there before. Plus I
wanted to give men the opportunity to share their stories and daughters the opportunity to honor their fathers, all while
providing this information in a fun, creative, poignant way.
The working titles of the books are "Raising Daughters; A Guide to Fathers" and "Raising Fathers; A Guide to
Daughters"
