    Default Parenting book recommendations good for fathers

    Hello,
    Just wondering if anyone has any good parenting book recommendations that would be good, especially for fathers. Hoping to find a few books that cover things like the need to discipline consistently, consistency in general, the importance of dads spending quality time with daughters.
    Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

    Some of the articles on Fatherly are helpful, but I also liked Michael Lewis's "Dad Again" article/diary series for Slate, parts of which became his book Home Game: An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood, but it's not an advice book; it's more of a memoir.

    I forget what book my DH is trying to get me to read (and I've been brushing him off about it because of the way he first presented it) but it has to do with consistency in discipline and the difference between "discipline" and "punishment" - and there IS a difference between the two.

    Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters by Meg Meeker has been recommended highly by a friend!
