Truths your daughter needs to know to
date smart, avoid disaster, and protect her future
SUMMARY: Your daughter is ready to date. You need help!
There is no moment of greater panic in a parent's life than when his or her daughter begins to date. But many parents feel ill equipped to guide their daughters through the minefield that is teen dating. And by the same token, teenagers crave genuine information about dating and relationships.
So how do you talk to your daughter about relationships and her future happiness? Expert educator Daniel Anderson and his daughter Jacquelyn help you navigate the biggest dating myths, including: a boyfriend will make your daughter happy, she should trust her feelings, and sex will enhance her relationship. Combining scientific research with poignant personal stories and practical application, this book will equip you to teach your daughter how to date smart for today . . . and tomorrow.
REVIEW: While I was reading this book or anytime she would spot it laying on the kitchen counter, my teenage daughter would roll her eyes and just make a disgruntled noise. Hannah was embarrassed because I received this book after she started dating her boyfriend. Since I very rarely dated in high school, I want to help my beautiful daughter safely navigate her through the teenage dating years and beyond. This book was very helpful in giving me insight to current teenage dating practices, thoughts and ideas. The authors discuss ten common myths, such as "a boyfriend will make me happy," "love and sex are the same," "he will never hit me again," and "serial dating and living together will make my marriage better" and shows examples, along with data and research, on why these myths are false and tools to use to avoid falling in these traps. At the end of each chapter, there are questions to reflect on and ones to discuss with your daughter. These questions will give you a place to start discussions and help you when you talk to your daughter. Some are difficult and may make you feel very uncomfortable but, unfortunately, are necessary in today's teen scene. Even though some myths build on the previous one, they each provided information that is very helpful for both teenage boys and girls, along with adults finding themselves on the dating scene.
The authors are both teachers in the public schools in Oregon. Daniel has been teaching for over twenty years and has learned from his students as well as helped them in difficult situations. Jacquelyn is Daniel's daughter, also discusses her dating experiences as a teen, as well as those of friends and classmates she knew in school.
This book has been very helpful and is a great tool to have during these crazy years.
