About Your Teenager
Teen girls tend to be a riddle to fathers. Like any mystery,
the relationship with our daughter can be frightening,
exciting, entertaining, baffling, enlightening or leave us
completely in the dark; sometimes all at once. If we want to
unravel this mystery, we have to pay attention and listen,
even in the most ordinary moments.
Why? Because a girl’s voice may be the most valuable and most
threatened resource she has. Her voice is the conduit for her
heart, brains, and spirit. When she speaks bold and
clearly—literally and metaphorically—then she is much safer
and surer. Dads must help nurture these qualities.

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.
