(You\u2019ll only make things worse)<\/p>\n<p>It is a good idea for fathers to know about their <a title=\"menstrual cycle\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/storydetails.php?story_id=47&amp;tabbed_id=7\">daughter\u2019s cycles<\/a> \u2013 especially if your daughter tends to get a little moody before her period.&nbsp; This way, you won\u2019t take what she says and how she acts to heart, and can find it in yourself to be a little more patient.&nbsp; And when she breaks out into tears for no apparent reason, you\u2019ll know why!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to make sure that she gets plenty of rest, drinks plenty of water \u2013 stays away from caffeine and doesn\u2019t over indulge in junk food \u2013 which can further affect the neurotransmitters in her brain.&nbsp; (So while she may perceive your good willed attempts to steal the Cheeto Bag and Hershey Kisses from her hand as a direct insult, the truth is you will be doing her a favor) (Good luck with <em>that)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On a more serious note, there is a disorder called <a title=\"PMDD - Premenstrual dysphoric disorder\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/storydetails.php?story_id=15&amp;tabbed_id=13\">PMDD<\/a>, which stands for premenstrual dysphoric disorder.&nbsp; The symptoms referenced above can be EXTREME in this case, and it may be worth your while to talk to your daughter\u2019s pediatrician if you feel your daughter\u2019s symptoms are excessive.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, in a few days \u2013 she will be your little girl again.&nbsp; You know, the one that you raised and loved and who thinks you\u2019re a hero. &nbsp;(And she\u2019ll fit back into those jeans) In the meantime, try as much as possible to take your signals from her and err on the side of compassion whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got questions?
