About this item
A comprehensive guide to father-daughter communication to help dads navigate their daughters through the pre-teen and tween years up to adulthoodIn Talk with Her, fathers learn that "communication" with daughters doesn't mean having "big" conversations all the time. Creating even the smallest moments of connection can build bonds. Wolf covers nineteen fundamental topics defining a daughter's life with information fathers need to address them with care and confidence including body positivity, gender and sexual identity, negative peer influence, academic achievement and financial literacy. For each topic, Wolf provides background knowledge, including cutting-edge research, expert perspectives, and terminology to help bring broad-ranging and often overwhelming topics into focus; goals to help focus fathers on deeper, more lasting impacts than effectively policing daughters' everyday actions; talking points or "ins" for conversations; and specifics on what to say and what not to say.

Kimberly Wolf, M.Ed. , is an educator, speaker, and educational consultant with an undergraduate degree in gender studies from Brown University and a master's degree in human development and psychology from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Fifteen years into her career, through conversations with friends, colleagues, and collaborators who were fathers of daughters, Wolf realized she was in a unique position to demystify girlhood for dads, helping them communicate better with their daughters, maximize their parental impact, and inspire young women to reach their potential. In addition to being an expert in her field, she is also a daughter with a deep personal belief in the transformative power of strong father-daughter relationships. Talk with Her is her first book.
