Today, we\u2019re here to debunk one of those common myths: that dads are somehow not equipped or shouldn\u2019t be involved in the development of their daughters. We\u2019re here to tell you that this just isn\u2019t the case! And better yet, when a father is truly invested in this stage of his daughter\u2019s life \u2013 both sides will benefit. But listen up, dads: if you wait for the moment that your daughter approaches you about the subject, you may be waiting a long time. It\u2019s important that dads realize the role they will play in this stage of their daughter\u2019s lives, and how to approach this time with honesty, love, and support.\n<!--more-->[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243;]When a dad openly communicates with his daughter about her period, he\u2019s doing more than having a conversation. He\u2019s telling her that what\u2019s happening to her body is nothing to be ashamed of, and it\u2019s just one more stage in her development that is totally normal. This type of message is so important, and hearing it from her dad will make a huge difference. For far too long, girls and women have been told that periods are something to hide or be embarrassed by.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243;]So, dad, if you\u2019re still feeling a little nervous to approach the subject, that\u2019s okay. Just know that whatever stress you\u2019re feeling is most likely amplified in your daughter\u2019s mind, and you have the power to alleviate that stress. That\u2019s a pretty worthy cause, right? Put in the effort and the time to get educated and prepared; she\u2019s worth it. Below, we\u2019re sharing some of our best tips to do just that:[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#75c043&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221;]<h2>1. Start early:<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243;]The sooner you start openly communicating with your daughter (on every subject that you can!) the easier it will be to start the period conversation. If your daughter is used to talking to you about her development, making the leap into talking about menstruation will be a lot easier.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#75c043&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221;]<h2>2. Pick a comfortable place:<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243;]You may find it easier to talk when you\u2019re doing other things. Driving a car, sitting on the couch, or even folding laundry all serve as great times to have a conversation. These tasks take the pressure of eye contact out of the picture, and they can even give your daughter something else to focus on if she\u2019s feeling uncomfortable. But make sure you keep the moment relaxed \u2013 we don\u2019t recommend bringing up the subject in front of other family members, or when you have other important things going on. The key here is to find a moment where you can truly focus on the conversation at hand, all while creating a relaxed, no pressure atmosphere.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#75c043&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221;]<h2>3. Be honest:<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243;]It\u2019s okay to admit you\u2019re not an expert. Let\u2019s repeat that: it\u2019s okay to not be an expert. We know you\u2019re used to being Super Dad. In this moment, it\u2019s even more important that she sees you as someone who is right there with her \u2013 learning, growing, and doing the best they can. Your daughter won\u2019t care if you haven\u2019t memorized the textbook definitions of what\u2019s going on in her body. All she\u2019ll remember is how you make her feel. If she has questions you can\u2019t answer, it\u2019s totally okay to tell her that you don\u2019t know, but that you\u2019ll find out.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#75c043&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221;]<h2>4. Enjoy:<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243;]Okay, this one may sound a bit weird. But the more you relax, the more she\u2019ll relax. Your daughter is entering into a new stage that should be celebrated. She\u2019s one step closer to growing up and becoming and adult. This is not a life sentence, it\u2019s a gateway to a whole new world of amazing things. Lighten up. Try making her laugh. Breathe. If you hit a wall, it\u2019s totally okay to end the conversation and pick it up another time. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Humor goes a long way, love goes even further. Your fatherly instincts still apply here \u2013 and you know your daughter better than anyone else. Do what feels right \u2013 the important thing is that you stay engaged.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<p>When dads show their daughters that there\u2019s nothing to be ashamed of, there\u2019s a better chance that young girls will take that confidence into the world. Simply put \u2013 the support of a father has the power to make a young girl feel like she can do anything. Which, of course, she can. We need strong girls \u2013 and to fully soar, they could use the unique brand of unconditional love, confidence and empowerment that their fathers provide. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for a bit more guidance to navigate this time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sign up for our Parents &amp; Young Girls email series.

Today, we\u2019re here to debunk one of those common myths: that dads are somehow not equipped or shouldn\u2019t be involved in the development of their daughters. We\u2019re here to tell you that this just isn\u2019t the case! And better yet, when a father is truly invested in this stage of his daughter\u2019s life \u2013 both sides will benefit. But listen up, dads: if you wait for the moment that your daughter approaches you about the subject, you may be waiting a long time. It\u2019s important that dads realize the role they will play in this stage of their daughter\u2019s lives, and how to approach this time with honesty, love, and support.\n<!--more-->[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" hover_enabled=\"0\"]When a dad openly communicates with his daughter about her period, he\u2019s doing more than having a conversation. He\u2019s telling her that what\u2019s happening to her body is nothing to be ashamed of, and it\u2019s just one more stage in her development that is totally normal. This type of message is so important, and hearing it from her dad will make a huge difference. For far too long, girls and women have been told that periods are something to hide or be embarrassed by.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" hover_enabled=\"0\"]So, dad, if you\u2019re still feeling a little nervous to approach the subject, that\u2019s okay. Just know that whatever stress you\u2019re feeling is most likely amplified in your daughter\u2019s mind, and you have the power to alleviate that stress. That\u2019s a pretty worthy cause, right? Put in the effort and the time to get educated and prepared; she\u2019s worth it. Below, we\u2019re sharing some of our best tips to do just that:\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" header_2_text_color=\"#75c043\" hover_enabled=\"0\" custom_margin=\"||10px||false|false\"]\n<h2>1. Start early:<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" hover_enabled=\"0\"]The sooner you start openly communicating with your daughter (on every subject that you can!) the easier it will be to start the period conversation. If your daughter is used to talking to you about her development, making the leap into talking about menstruation will be a lot easier.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" header_2_text_color=\"#75c043\" hover_enabled=\"0\" custom_margin=\"||10px||false|false\"]\n<h2>2. Pick a comfortable place:<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" hover_enabled=\"0\"]You may find it easier to talk when you\u2019re doing other things. Driving a car, sitting on the couch, or even folding laundry all serve as great times to have a conversation. These tasks take the pressure of eye contact out of the picture, and they can even give your daughter something else to focus on if she\u2019s feeling uncomfortable. But make sure you keep the moment relaxed \u2013 we don\u2019t recommend bringing up the subject in front of other family members, or when you have other important things going on. The key here is to find a moment where you can truly focus on the conversation at hand, all while creating a relaxed, no pressure atmosphere.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" header_2_text_color=\"#75c043\" hover_enabled=\"0\" custom_margin=\"||10px||false|false\"]\n<h2>3. Be honest:<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" hover_enabled=\"0\"]It\u2019s okay to admit you\u2019re not an expert. Let\u2019s repeat that: it\u2019s okay to not be an expert. We know you\u2019re used to being Super Dad. In this moment, it\u2019s even more important that she sees you as someone who is right there with her \u2013 learning, growing, and doing the best they can. Your daughter won\u2019t care if you haven\u2019t memorized the textbook definitions of what\u2019s going on in her body. All she\u2019ll remember is how you make her feel. If she has questions you can\u2019t answer, it\u2019s totally okay to tell her that you don\u2019t know, but that you\u2019ll find out.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" header_2_text_color=\"#75c043\" hover_enabled=\"0\" custom_margin=\"||10px||false|false\"]\n<h2>4. Enjoy:<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" hover_enabled=\"0\"]Okay, this one may sound a bit weird. But the more you relax, the more she\u2019ll relax. Your daughter is entering into a new stage that should be celebrated. She\u2019s one step closer to growing up and becoming and adult. This is not a life sentence, it\u2019s a gateway to a whole new world of amazing things. Lighten up. Try making her laugh. Breathe. If you hit a wall, it\u2019s totally okay to end the conversation and pick it up another time. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Humor goes a long way, love goes even further. Your fatherly instincts still apply here \u2013 and you know your daughter better than anyone else. Do what feels right \u2013 the important thing is that you stay engaged.\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.4.1\" hover_enabled=\"0\"]When dads show their daughters that there\u2019s nothing to be ashamed of, there\u2019s a better chance that young girls will take that confidence into the world. Simply put \u2013 the support of a father has the power to make a young girl feel like she can do anything. Which, of course, she can. We need strong girls \u2013 and to fully soar, they could use the unique brand of unconditional love, confidence and empowerment that their fathers provide. It\u2019s that simple.Looking for a bit more guidance to navigate this time? Sign up for our Parents &amp; Young Girls email series.
