FINALLY! Something for my husband/partner.
Yep, I got you girl.
You see your husband, he’s a good guy and he’s definitely doing his best to balance his work demands with his family duties.
He works a full day (often more than that) and then comes home or meets you at the basketball or volleyball game to support the kids. He does a pretty good job at instilling high morals in the kids, talking with them whenever he’s home or out with them, however, he has a hard time connecting with your teenage daughters. He always seems to say the wrong thing at just the right moment to make them upset and talk back or shut down and walk away (to go cry in their room). He often comments about how sensitive they are and that he was only trying to help (or teach them to learn from their failures). He cares about them, but he has a hard time knowing when to push them to be better or just listen to their woes.
You have reminded him to have positive interactions with his girls, but the stress at work or genuine desire for them to be and do their best frequently gets the better of him and he ends up lecturing them at the worst possible time.
You wish there was some sort of manual or something you could give him to know what’s going on inside your teenage daughters and how to connect with them in a way that would allow his love to come shining through and actually reach your girls.
I have a solution for you: Cycle Awareness for Dads
Imagine, your husband or partner…
Tuned in to your daughters and aware of when to drive them to be better and when to just listen to them (without offering a solution).
Knowing how to encourage your teenagers to develop healthy relationships with their bodies/body image.
Supporting your girls and comforting them when they’ve had a bad day.
Having influence over them because he has his own connection with his girls, they actually go to him when they have a problem (that isn’t too embarrassing to discuss).
Knowing exactly how to support your girls physically and emotionally through the ups and downs all month long.
Stopping to listen to your girls without offering a solution (or a lecture).
This is all possible with Cycle Awareness for Dads.
Introducing the Cycle Awareness Workshop for Dads, a workshop that teaches men how to support their teen daughter(s) physically and emotionally with their period.
Why did I create this workshop?
I was sitting in a business course and it was the last class of the semester, the one where we each had a turn to present our business plan to the rest of the class. I presented my plan about my Cycle Awareness Workshops for teens and adult women along with my plan to add coaching to follow up after my workshops, I also included a bit about the menstrual cycle and how important it is for women’s overall health and my passion point to ensure that teenage girls have this information in their teen years.
During the Q&A following my presentation, a classmate running his own law firm raised his hand and asked, “My daughters are 9 and 11, do you have anything for me?”
I committed right then and there that I would create something for this dad and other dads who deeply care about their daughter(s) and want to know how to support them physically and emotionally during this phase of their life.
I give you…Cycle Awareness Workshop for Dads.
If you’re looking for a resource for your husband/partner for how to support your teenage daughter(s) with their period, have him join me in the Cycle Awareness Workshop for Dads and learn:
The monthly hormone pattern and the ups and downs your teen rides every month (it’s actually quite predictable).
Cycle map to know exactly where she is any day of the month.
What a normal period looks like and how to tell if things are really off.
What PMS is and what you can do about it! (It’s actually very simple & there are solutions!)
Common period products (so you don’t have to ask her).
What’s happening under the surface, psychologically and spiritually during her period.
How to create a positive body image with your teen (actual scripts with word and phrase swaps).
Physical and emotional tip sheet, know exactly how to support her all month long like a pro!
The Cycle Awareness Workshop for Dads is a 90 minute workshop for dads of teenage daughter(s) to learn how to support them physically and emotionally with their period.
He can view this workshop on his own time and in his own space without any awkward learning with you or with your daughters. I made it with him in mind.
Here’s what I want to say to your husband/partner:
Dear Dad,
Listen, I know it’s awkward to talk about periods with your teenage daughter(s), they don’t want to talk about it with you either. But starting/having their period has a big impact on the way they feel (and behave) and it can be hard on them too. What they want is your loving support as they navigate these important physical and emotional changes that come with being a teenager. Let me show you how to best support them during this 90 minute workshop (you can do it on your own time) so you can go home and be their hero.
