Autumn Session 7: Daughters and Dads

Here is some more information About Session 7:

Fathers and father-figures have a powerful impact on girls, for good or bad (or often a mixture of both). This affects the girl’s sense of her attractiveness, her confidence and they way she relates to men throughout her life. So it is vital that men understand what it is that their daughters need from them as distinct from their sons.

Also, adult women continue to be impacted by the way they related to their fathers, even when become adults. It is helpful for adult daughters to understand those impacts so that they can begin to live free of any negative impacts.

This is a seminar for fathers, father figures, and adult daughters.

"That was the best talk I have ever heard on any subject. Thank you. My wife enjoyed it too and said she was glad I was there to listen to it". John Alvarez. Surgeon. Perth.

The Speaker: Dr Bruce Robinson has been lecturing on subjects such as parenting, boys and girls needs, busy lifestyles and work-life balance 19 years in Australia, Britain, the USA, Canada and New Zealand. He is a busy doctor and knows what it is like to struggle with the balance of professional life, family life and time away from his 3 children.

His best selling book about busy dads (‘Fathering from the Fast Lane’), his DVD (‘What Kids Really Need from their Dads’), his booklet for school dads (“The Blue Book of Tips for Fathers and Father Figures’) are all popular. His recently released book for men and women is titled ‘Daughters and their Dads’ and is already in its second printing. He is the recipient of a Family Service Award, 3 Teacher of the Year awards and numerous scientific awards. “Bruce Robinson is Australia’s foremost author on fathering.” W Marsh, Fatherhood Foundation.

The Book: This seminar is based on the popular book ‘Daughters and their Dads’, released late in 2008.
