Lo sepas o no, el mero hecho de ser padre te convierte en un héroe. Como señala la doctora Meeker: "Si quieres lo mejor para tus hijos -y para ti-, debes esforzarte en ser un padre-héroe.

Y adelante. ¡Aún estás a tiempo!". -Andy Andrews, autor superventas del New York Times con El regalo del viajero y The noticer "Para muchos hombres, el papel de "padre" (que debería ser extremadamente importante) suele quedar relegado a un segundo plano, por detrás de sus responsabilidades como esposo, proveedor de los recursos económicos y cabeza de familia. Y, desgraciadamente, sus hijos acaban pagando el precio. Con su habitual sabiduría y sensibilidad, la doctora Meeker nos recuerda que el papel de "padre" es la misión más importante que un hombre puede tener en su vida". -Jim Daly, presidente de Focus on the family "Da igual que estés intentando ganar la Superbowl o educando a tus hijos.

The key is to embrace a new perspective and create real joy and purpose by utilizing such core habits as • making friends with those who know the meaning of friendship • finding out what money can buy (and what it cannot) • lightening the overload—and doing less more often • discovering faith and learning how to trust it • taking some alone time and reviving yourself Mothers, it’s time to view the unconditional trust that you see in your children’s eyes when they take your hand or find your face in a crowd as a mirror of your own wonder and worth. You are the light that shines in their lives, the beacon that guides them. By implementing the key strategies in Dr. Meeker’s book, you can be happy, hopeful, and a wonderful role model. You can teach your children to be the very best they can be—and isn’t that still the most precious reward of motherhood?

Desde su experiencia como pediatra y madre, Meg Meeker aporta una serie de claves fundamentales que todos los padres debieran conocer sobre la educación de sus hijos. Frente a al ambiente actual que tiende a acabar con las diferencias, la autora nos recuerda que los niños siempre serán niños y que, por lo tanto, precisan de una educación esencialmente diferente. Para ello, la doctora Meeker se adentra en temas fundamentales de la educación de los niños, entre los que se encuentran: • Por qué las normas y los límites son fundamentales y por qué los chicos se sienten perdidos sin ellos. • Por qué es muchísimo más provechoso para un chico jugar al aire libre que dedicarle horas a los videojuegos. • Cómo preservar su inocencia frente a un ambiente que pretende todo lo contrario. • Por qué no es normal que un niño sea taciturno o rebelde y como tratar esos comportamientos. • Cómo y cuándo tratar las grandes cuestiones de la vida que todo niño se plantea. Todos los padres quieren lo mejor para sus hijos. Sin embargo, esto no parece ser suficiente. Educar es una impresionante tarea para la que hay que estar preparados. Sin duda alguna, este libro proporciona una serie de consejos que vienen a hacerla un poco más fácil.

La doctora Meeker demuestra que un factor determinante para que las jóvenes se conviertan en mujeres seguras y equilibradas es un padre fuerte que ejerza su papel con amor, cariño y confianza. Padres fuertes, hijas felices revela: Hasta qué punto los consejos y el testimonio vital de los padres influye en vida de las hijas. Desde el uso de drogas, alcohol y tabaco a la autoestima, el equilibrio emocional, o al modo de relacionarse con los chicos. Por qué las chicas dependen del cariño y de la compañía de sus padres, incluso más allá de sus años universitarios. La receta para el desastre: la idea de que las chicas “necesitan cometer sus propios errores y aciertos”. Cómo comunicarse con su hija, y cómo no hacerlo. En una época en la que cada vez se insiste más en “difuminar” la distinción natural entre el papel del padre y de la madre, en que da igual si la familia está compuesta por dos padres o dos madres, o si es monoparental, este libro demuestra que el rol de padre es bastante más influyente de lo que muchos hombres imaginan. Además de la relación maternal, las hijas necesitan del apoyo que sólo un padre puede dar, y si los padres están dispuestos a seguir los consejos de la doctora Meeker sobre cómo educar a sus hijas, su recompensa será excepcional.
