Talking with Your Daughter About Understanding Boys

Our culture pressures tween girls to grow up too fast and develop attachments with boys too soon. One great way you as a father can protect your girl is to spend quality dad-and-daughter time.

Bob and Dannah Gresh, creators of the Secret Keeper Girl events, have put together an easy-to-use resource for creative father-and-daughter dates with your 8- to 12-year-old girl. These dates help you tackle big questions like…

• What was God thinking when he made girls so that we like boys?
• Why is everyone boy-crazy? Do I have to be?
• When can I start to date?
• How can I stand out from others and be pure without losing all my friends?

A personal pull-out section for your daughter and online audio conversations with Bob and Dannah offer more ways to build your father-and-daughter connection—and to love and protect your little girl as she grows into a young woman.
