B.R. for Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters

I purchased the book "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters" by Meg Meeker MD for Jason's birthday. Since Jason was still very busy with flying, I took the chance to read the book. Meg Meeker is a pediatrician with years of experience working with young girls. Throughout the book she gives fathers pointers based on her experience and from documented research. Offering her own insight on real life issues affecting our society today makes reading this book more interesting and realistic. I often found myself saying "oh wow." I believe that reading the book as a mother also helped me realize how important what we say, how we act, and what we expose our children too is very important. If we allow our children to watch trash on t.v. it will desensitize them to immoral situations. This can range from drinking, cursing, premarital living and so on. I know that I am desensitize to quite a bit and it's definitely from watching t.v. From now on I will make more of a point to shield Ella away from what I know is a lifestyle that I don't want her to model or be okay with. Basically, if I don't want Ella to do or say something I need to make sure she isn't exposed to it. I also learned that I need to begin protecting her from day one and that she needs us to be parents which means sticking to our rules while we build a relationship with her throughout her growing years. This is a packed filled book and is definitely worth reading.
