New Releases by Meg Meeker

Dunia anak perempuan adalah lebih kecil dari dunia kita sebagai bapa, bukan hanya secara fizikal, tetapi juga secara emosi. Ia lebih rapuh dan lembut kerana wataknya diuli seperti doh roti di atas papan pemotong. Kita tahu bahawa kita perlu menjadi seorang yang lebih menyayangi. Ataupun menjadi lebih bersabar. Ataupun menjadi lebih berani, rajin, ataupun setia. Tetapi bolehkah kita? Ia adalah sebahagian dari satu sudut perspektf. Untuk lebih mencintai anak perempuan, mungkin kelihatan rumit pada kita, tetapi ia sangat mudah untuknya. Menjadi seorang hero bagi anak perempuan mungkin menakutkan kita, tetapi sebenarnya ia boleh menjadi mudah. Melindungi dan mengajarnya tentang Tuhan, seks, dan kerendahan hati tidak memerlukan ijazah dalam bidang psikologi. Ia hanya perlu menjadi seorang ayah.

Penting untuk kita memahami kedua-duanya, iaitu tekanan yang unik kepada kanak-kanak lelaki dan tekanan yang unik kepada si ibu. Kadangkala, kedua-duanya akan bersilang dan kadang-kadang tidak. Penulis akan kongsikan setiap set ini secara terperinci. Penulis akan kongsikan semua isu yang dihadapi oleh kaum ibu.
