After many years of turmoil and 2 and a half years of estrangment my father and I are going to try and rebuild a relationship. I've read as much free literature as I can find to try and equip myself with some skills that will lend toward success. In my readings I came across 15 questions a daughter should ask her father written by an expert in the field Dr. Linda Nielsen. I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar list of questions that a father should ask his daughter? Now that we are both adults I've realized we don't know each other as people, in even the smallest regard. I think trading these questions would be as good a place to start as any.

I don't know what is on that list but I would think that one of the first questions I would ask would be can we have a fresh start no matter what you think of me or have been lead to believe?

Thanks for your response, that is a good question for him to ask.
This is the list of questions that Dr. Nielsen created for a daughter to ask her father. As you can see they don't really apply for the reverse.

(1)Who was your favorite relative and why?

(2) What are some of your favorite childhood memories?

(3) What did you get too little of and too much of from your father?

(4) Other than relatives, who had the greatest influence on you as a child and as a teenager?

(5) If you had a motto, what would it be?

(6) What would bring you the greatest joy during the next few years?

(7) What is the best and the worst advice a friend ever gave you?

(8) How have your spiritual beliefs changed over time and who has influenced you the most?

(9) If you could have any two spiritual questions answered, what would they be?

(10)What are three of the best and three of the worst decisions you've ever made?

(11) What are some lessons you had to learn the hard way?

(12) What are some of the most important things you've learned about love and marriage?

(13) How did your relationship with your dad influence the kind of parent you have been?

(14) What was the best gift and best compliment I ever gave you?

(15) How has our relationship changed over the years?
