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.

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.

I'm going to give you WHAT TO SAY to help you bridge the communications-gap and help her hear your heart for her!
