What a Difference a Daddy Makes The Indelible Imprint a Dad Leaves on His Daughters Life
Study after study shows that fathers set up their daughters for success. Involved fathers–whether or not they live in the same house as their daughters–boost their daughters’ academic achievement, promote their emotional health, increase their compassion for others, and even bolster the status of women.
In What a Difference a Daddy Makes, renowned psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Kevin Leman seamlessly weaves the latest research on fathering with funny, moving stories about his own parenting experiences. He gives practical ideas and inspiration for fathers and provides specific direction for helping daughters grow into loving, confident, caring adults.

5 Stars “What a Difference a Daddy Makes” review
This is an excellent book that describes the importance of a daughter having her father involved in her life. The book is an easy read. Dr. Leman makes his point clearly and does not have the attitude that his way is the only way. He does not tell you how to become involved but that you need to be involved in your daughter’s life. I highly recommend this book to every father of girl(s), whether the girls are young or old.
4 Stars Good Reading
I’ve read other books by Dr. Leman, and this book I bought for my husband and I ended up reading it, too. He’s a great author who really tells it like it is and in this book demonstrates how much of an imprint a daddy makes on his daughter’s life. I highly recommend it.
4 Stars Used as study guide for dads with daughter group
Dr Leman uses his real life family situations to illustrate the positive benefits a father has on his daughters. This book is an easy read. Dr Leman has a good sense of humor which makes it hard to put down. Lots of good suggestions and tips for dads of all ages!
5 Stars Very good for the first time Dad and the experienced one too
This book was recommended to me by my brother-in-law who has 4 daughters. I just have one. Most of the chapters were relevant to my situation although it really focuses on the teen and young adult situations the author had experienced. It did open my eyes to other areas of my daughter’s life I must pay attention to. The last chapter(Epilogue) was hard to read. I really got emotional about it. It really made me think about the future of my daughter and how to stay involved in it throughout adulthood. I highly recommend it.
5 Stars Must read for all dads with daughters
I read this book 8 years ago when we found out we were going to have a daughter. Now with two daughters, what I learned in this book continues to give me guidance as I raise my girls. I think it is so helpful, that I buy a copy for any friends or family who find out they are having a baby girl. The author is a Christian and makes reference to Biblical principles, but it’s not too overpowering for non-Christians and the principles are good no matter your religion.
