Here’s a newsflash: I’m not a girl!<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, one book I read this week was A Girl’s Guide to Life <\/a><\/em>by Katie Meier. I now know more about makeup, hairstyles, and clothing selection then ever before. This, of course,\u00a0is\u00a0only the beginning of what I will learn.<\/p>\n

You see…I have three girls.\u00a0They’re still young (8, 6, and 4), but I figure that I better get a head start right now on learning\u00a0about the\u00a0issues and problems\u00a0that growing girls face, and how, as a father, I might be able to help.<\/p>\n

Fathers, as a tip for Father’s Day, if you have daughters, do yourself a favor and buy and read a copy of this book.\u00a0It was excellent.\u00a0I can’t think of anything Katie missed. She dealt with inner issues like self-esteem and emotions, body issues of clothing, hair, makeup, all the transitions of puberty, and moral issues like dating, sex, and religion. And Katie’s style of writing perfectly matched the content of the book. As I read, I often felt I was eavesdropping on a\u00a0pajama party sleepover conversation where a twenty-something woman answered questions from a roomful of teenage girls.<\/p>\n

I will definitely be giving a copy of this book to each of my three girls, and using it as a handy “reference guide” for myself as they get older.<\/p>\n
