"When girls hit adolescence, fathers balk. They want to be a part of their daughters' lives, but they don't quite know how to connect and stay connected through the physical and emotional upheaval. Many dads are at a loss to define their new role in their daughters' lives." (ARIZONA REPUBLIC) This article explains that "today's fathers have a unique opportunity to ease the social and academic pressures their girls feel, to protect them from overbooked days and idealized versions of how they should look" and offers some "advice for fathers to better relate to their adolescent daughters."
