Involving Individuals with Developmental Language Disorder and Their Parents/Carers in Research Priority Setting
Published on: June 6, 2020
Abstract:
Dads and Daughters (DADS) is a grassroots organization of fathers. Its mission is to provide tools to both strengthen father-daughter relationships and to transform the pervasive cultural messages that value girls more for how they look than for who they are. The DADS philosophy is captured in ten "Tips for Fathers with Daughters" which include: (a) listen to girls; (b) encourage their strength and savvy; (c) respect girl's uniqueness, urge them to love their bodies, and discourage dieting; (d) get physically active with girls; (e) get involved in their schools; (f) get involved in their activities; (g) help make the world better for girls; (h) take daughters to work; (i) support positive alternative media for girls; and (j) talk to other fathers. DADS urges health care providers to actively involve fathers in their daughter's preventive health and illness care.
