Here is concrete, sympathetic advice and helpful suggestions on how to:

¸ Instill self-respect and boldness in your little girl--and avoid unintentionally programming her to become fearful and underachieving
¸ Encourage risk-taking, goal-oriented behavior with safe and specific techniques and activities
¸ Keep from sending your daughter messages that can result in eating disorders, learning blocks, and emotional dependence
¸ Work with your wife (or ex-wife) to give the best overall parenting to your daughter
