Dr. Meg Meeker is a renowned pediatrician, speaker, and author, best known for her best-selling book “Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters”. Today, Dr. Meg Meeker joins Larry to explore the crucial role fathers play in their daughters’ lives and discuss practical strategies for fostering strong, healthy relationships. Dr. Meeker also shared her wisdom on fatherhood and how dads can tap into their potential to positively impact their children’s lives.

One way for dads to connect with their kids is through affection. Affection is a powerful way of communicating to a child that they are seen, heard, and understood. It can be as simple as a pat on the back, a hug, or a high five. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time, but it can make all the difference.

When it comes to expressing your feelings, dads should not be afraid to open up to their kids. Kids need to learn how to express love, be affectionate, and be attentive and listen. Kids don’t need to know all the mistakes you made when you were 17, but they do need to know that you have bad days and that it’s okay to express your feelings.

Overall, dads should recognize the important role they play in their children’s lives and strive to connect with them through affection. A little bit of affection can go a long way and can help create a strong bond between a dad and his kids.
