About Middle School Girls
Great fathers bring “Lamaze intensity” into being a dad. During your partner’s pregnancy,
you were willing to go to childbirth classes, protect and nurture her, make sacrifices,
and go joyously through the chaotic miracle of labor and delivery. Why should it
be any different now?
Today’s middle school-aged girls face growing pressures from marketers and others
to grow up too fast. So, a dads’ challenge is to channel your Lamaze-class intensity
and commitment into the fathering you do every day. Your child needs you to be and
stay that involved. She needs you to show her how to drive a nail, give a hug, bake
cookies, jump off the high dive, tie a fishing lure, and most of all, to show her
how a good man respects and loves a woman.
Fathering is too good an experience for you or your child to miss. So please, show
up for it every day. Before you’re halfway through you’ll be amazed by how great
it is.

America the Beautiful
In 2004, Americans spent
$12.4 billion (yes, billion!) on cosmetic surgery. The real costs
of our obsession with youth, beauty and a slender physique are tallied in an
epidemic of eating disorders, complications and deaths from unnecessary
surgeries, exposure to dangerous toxins in cosmetics, and the equally toxic
effects on a generation of young people who are told–in some 40,000 media
messages a year–that unless you look like the supermodels and rock stars, you’re
not good enough for anyone to love. It’s a message too many of them are buying.
