Today on my radio program for dads of daughters, we'll be talking about "FATHER HUNGER: What Your Daughter is Starving For."
Not only will I be sharing my eating disorder story, as well as quoting excerpts from my good friend Dave Patty's new book, but I'll encourage you to focus on AFFIRMATION, ACCEPTANCE, AFFECTION, and ALLIANCE.
Today on The Dad Whisperer, I’m absolutely privileged to welcome for a second time Dr. Ken Canfield, founder of both the National Center for Fathering as well as the new National Association for Grandparenting (GrandsMatter).
Dr. Ken will talk about the powerful role of grandfathers, not only from his vantage point as one himself, but as a leader in this area of research. Dr. Ken believes grandparents are increasingly vital not only to our communities but to our nations entire—as they have a specific and unique role in strengthening families across generations. He and his association seek to validate, equip, and empower grandparents to leave a legacy, whether natural or spiritual (or both) which will not be forgotten.
You don’t want to miss his incredible insights and heart on this special topic on today's program because GRANDS MATTER.
As we all know, the impact to a daughter’s life when she loses her dad are immense.

This conversation is raw and real and one that will touch your heart while giving HOPE that there is LIFE after LOSS.
Dad, do you ever disqualify yourself when it comes to being a spiritual leader in your home? If so, you’re not alone. Today I’m going to share practical ACTION STEPS that daughters have told me they want from their dad in this area. My ongoing desire is to equip you to be the hero that you want to be and your kids need you to be…and leading spiritually is a key way to do just that. On your mark, get set…GO!
I believe there is ONE THING that makes all the difference between being a great dad and a mediocre one. Join me today as I give you the answer to what it is.
Dads, you'll leave your kids a legacy one way or another—for good or bad. Join me today as I share a powerful story of one dad’s impact on his children that's continued to shape them and communicate love even though he's no longer here with them. I'll help you clarify the legacy you want to leave.
Hey Dads…I have a Christmas gift idea for you to give your kids and I believe it'll be the most meaningful Christmas gift they’ve EVER received...The best part is, you won’t have to go to the mall or spend any money on it. (I know, right? Seems too good to be true.) Listen in today and you’ll be glad you did!

I’m so excited to have my dad in the studio today where we’ll be talking about one of my favorite days of the year: PERFUME DAY! Listen in as we share why we think this can be a great tradition to start with your own daughters.
Dads of daughters, today on my radio program The Dad Whisperer, I'll help you "decode" your daughter's communication. Why? Because most often, women READ BETWEEN THE LINES of what you're saying--even when you think you've been straightforward & clear. Knowing HOW she's hearing you not only improves your interactions with her--it can empower you to change her self-image for the better! I'm going to give you WHAT TO SAY to help you bridge the communications-gap and help her hear your heart for her!
Dads, on my program today, I'll coach you on how to ask your daughter questions that actually WORK! I'll share one of the most powerful tools for your "Fathering Toolbox," (and tell you why the question "Why?" is usually the least effective of them all)!
I'm looking forward to today's broadcast--as I work WITH you to promote growth and positive change in your relationship with your daughter!
On this episode, Alfonso PeBenito shares his story that reveals it's never too late to rebuild the bridge to your daughter's heart.
Today we talk about you, your daughter, and those ever-powerful words!
Today we talk honestly about the ways dads are tricking or treating their daughters.
On today's episode: One of my favorite, most sure-fire (and fun!), ways to connect with your daughter. Hint: all it takes is a mirror & a pen.
Whether you’re a dad who is wanting more ideas about how to be a better dialed-in dad, or a mom who wants to look at your own relationship with your dad, or even a daughter who longs for a closer relationship with your dad, my true aim is to touch on all of these themes over time.
