Need some advice for single dad my daughter got her period need some woman help here?

I would think the best thing would be to give her some money each month or extra pocket money in order for her to buy what she needs. When you first start it can be embarrassing even to ask a mum for things, let alone a dad. Also, keep a stock of painkillers in the house, and if you dont have one get a hot water bottle. Although its embarrassing for both of you perhaps just bring it up and say that you're there for her to talk to, but if she would prefer to you don't mind if she speaks to a woman about it. If theres a female relative or friend she is comfortable with perhaps ask them if they can have a word with her. There are also some good books out there which explain lots of things, and they may even be good for you to read through too.Try Amazon. Overall, be understanding cos periods can be a big deal to some girls and so be patient if she feels upset or moody, but please dont do that annoying thing where you say 'it must be that time of the month' is she gets a bit moody, she'll hate that! Especially in front of other people. Oh, and for PE lessons if she feels she needs to miss them at times during her period be understanding about this-teachers can go on about it not being a good enough excuse, but when I was younger I bled quite heavily and used to feel very anxious about having an accident. If she feels up to it though the exercise can be good, but I'd suggest a pair of dark coloured sweat pants/jogging bottoms so that she will feel a bit less worried about accidents.

Have a female friend or relative talk with her about it. There is nothing worse for a girl than having her father try to explain those types of things. Plus, you won't really be able to answer the questions she has, because you have never been through it.Need some advice for single dad my daughter got her period need some woman help here?
obviously you want to be there for her, but at the same time not so much in this situation lol... find some one that she'll be comfotable talking to about this- aunt, possibley grandmother, or even if she has a close friend with a mom she'd be willing to talk to. let her go with SOME ONE ELSE to get protection (tampons and stuff). it would be WAY to awkward for her to go with you- no matter how much she loves you lol... good luck, hope it all works out =)

If she has a close girlfriend maybe her mother can talk to her. If not maybe a school nurse or a doctor. If she is starting her period a trip to the doctor maybe good and the doctor can help her understand what is going on with her body. You don't say how old your daughter is. If she is a teenager she may know more than you think. Hope this helps
Make sure that she tells you exactly which type of pads she likes best-get her a few different brands and some of the flushable cleansing cloths. Chances are, she'll be mortified to ask for anything. Just let her know that when she needs new ';female supplies'; to write you a note and leave it in a certain place where you will see it. That'll make it less awkward for both of you. I agree with the heating pad and the Advil.
its best to have a woman talk to her like of of your friends she's close to or her aunt/cousin
I know its hard being a single dad raising your daughter.





I would suggest a couple of things that will help.





First thing is to make sure she gets some sanitary napkins (pads) to use while she is on her period. She should keep extra pads at home at all times. If she goes to school, make sure she carrys about 3 pads in her purse or back pack as she will most likely need to change her pad every 2 to 3 hours.





If you have not spoken to your daughter about the birds and the bees (sex) now is the time. It is important that your daughter knows, that now she is ovulating each month meaning she can get pregnant if she has unprotected sex. I would encourage her not to have any sex with any boys if at all possible until she is a lot older.





You can also call the school nurse and ask her to explain all of this to your daughter if you feel unconfortable about talking about this with your daughter. Make sure the nurse tells your daughter that if she does have sex with a boy and its not protected that not only can she become pregnant, but she can also get hiv or aids if the boy has it.





To be safe than sorry, I would make sure your daughter is on birth control at all times to help prevent any unwanted pregnancys.





Hope this helps :-)
Got to the store like walmart and buy some pads with the always wipe on them because girls feel dirty when they are on their period then also buy her some advil to rid of cramps if she has anyonly 2 . and get a heating pad ready when she does have cramps ... girls may get very tired ,grummpy and very hungry ... hope this works ! Good luck
