For Dads of Elementary School DaughtersEvery father and stepfather can make a huge difference in his daughter’s life. A father is the first man his daughter knows. With that potent position of “first man” comes the ability to set the norm of manliness for her—a norm that ultimately can be stronger than what anyone else tells her!
