It’s a joy and honor to equip dads with practical tools to better dial into their daughters’ hearts. With 30 years of experienced as a licensed professional counselor with a PhD in Psychology and over 40 years working directly with teens and adult women, Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield brings practical wisdom to dads with daughters of all ages.
Dads often tell me that the process of figuring out what their daughters really need from them can be overwhelming. In seeking to answer that question, here are 20 THINGS YOUR DAUGHTER REALLY LONGS FOR...because it will make a world of difference in her life as you, Dad, meet her at the point of her deepest longings. #thedadwhisperer
One of my favorite conversations to have with dads is when they tell me how emotional and deeply meaningful it is for them to walk their daughters down the aisle. Today I’ve asked my friend, Tobie Hatfield to share from his heart and give us an insider’s view into what this recent event was like for him!
Most men tell me they like to BUILD—-whether it was with Lego’s as a kid or
even now as adults when building shelves in their garage or a back deck,
all with a hammer in hand. For others it’s been what they’ve done with
their portfolio. Today on #thedadwhisperer I’m linking a dad’s love for
BUILDING with ways he can do that with his daughter’s self esteem!
Dad, if you have a tween daughter, you’re going to LOVE hearing from a dad
who is in the same boat as you! Join us today as return guest Marc Alan
Schelske sheds light on how to find middle ground with your middle
schooler. #thedadwhisperer
Sometimes we as daughters wish that we could tell you, our dads, what a
challenge it often is for us not only to KNOW our true selves, but then to
STAND STRONG in being who we really are. So Dad, if you want to start the
year STRONG, then listen today and learn ways to support your daughter in
finding her true self while shedding her false self!
Merry Christmas Dads! And if you prefer audio over written material, I’ve
got a gift for you today because today’s show is an adjunct to last
Friday’s blog, “Put It in Writing.” I’ll be giving you a last-minute
Christmas present idea for your daughter and telling you why these cards
I’m holding in this picture from my dad are some of my most prized
possessions!
We invite you to join us again today for Part 2 of our conversation as
pastor and author, Marc Alan Schelske shares more of his difficult yet
worthwhile journey to uncover the mystery of his emotions. Dads, I have no
doubt that you’ll be inspired to hear from this courageous man as he
invites us to hear his heartfelt, honest story. (PS...as always, women are
invited to the conversation too!)
Dad, have you ever wondered how your connection (or lack of connection) to your emotions impacts your fathering? If so, you’ll want to hear pastor and author Marc Alan Schelske share some of his true backstory, one that impacted him as a dad with his daughter, yet one he’d never trade because of all he learned in the process. Listen as Marc helps us understand more about our emotional wiring while teaching us that “our emotions always tell the truth...just not always the truth you think.”
