Reviews of Daughters and their Dads
"We could all take time to look for what is unique in a person, and nurture it. 'Dads and Daughters' gives us a reminder of how we can find the unique in that special relationship."- Prof Fiona Wood, Plastic Surgeon, Australian of the Year
"Father and daughter relationships can be like gold if you take the time to foster them. I recommend this book for all dads."- Justin Langer, Test Cricketer
"This is one of those topics that everyone intuitively says - oh, that's surely been covered. But by and large, it hasn't, and it needs to be.
Getting this relationship right makes a great contribution to a girl's development and to her father's too, for that matter.
You'll love the stories from this book and they'll keep you reading, fathers and daughters alike. We're all seeking to maximise the highs and minimise the lows and believe me, Bruce Robinson's clever questions help that quest immeasurably."- Geraldine Doogue, ABC TV and radio presenter, journalist and author
"In today's busy world this book will remind all dads with daughters how precious their relationships are."- Professor Fiona Stanley, Child Health Expert, Australian of the Year
"Fathers and daughters affect each other in profound ways.
This is a down-to-earth book for fathers and daughters of all ages to hold in their heads and hearts."- Dr Phyllis Prout, Clinical Psychologist
"This book is brilliant. It is the best book I have ever read on daughters and their dads, without a shadow of doubt.
It's well put together and has great stories.
This book is profound and is going to touch a lot of people and provide a lot of healing for many women."Daughters and their Dads is the best book on the subject ever written. The many personal stories combined with Dr Bruce Robinson's insightful research make for compelling reading. This book will become a classic in its field. Professor Robinsons Daughters and their Dads is a must read book for every daughter and every Dad.
"It also covers the role of husbands and father figures and how those important relationships can be affected by the father daughter relationships. The bottom line is that involved fathers are critical for the psychosexual development of young women as they are for men. The book is packed with practical hints and will help map out a path for success in what Sir John Harvey calls the most important success of all.
"Dr Bruce Robinson is a world renowned medical researcher and he brings his unique abilities to bear on this important subject. Daughters and their Dads is a great book for all the family but particularly for fathers who want to be the best father in the world for their children."
