Daddy & Periods: Helping Dads Support Their Daughters Through Periods, Puberty, and Body Confidence.
Many fathers love their daughters deeply but feel unsure, awkward, or unprepared when it comes to conversations about periods, puberty, and body changes.
Daddy & Periods is a practical, compassionate, and culturally grounded guide that helps fathers and father figures move from silence to confident support. Written by Yemi Adeyemi, MD MPH, a physician, public health professional, and sexual and reproductive health educator with over fifteen years of experience, this book gives dads the language, tools, and reassurance they need to show up well during one of the most important transitions in a daughter's life.
This book breaks down period education in a way fathers can understand and use. It explains what periods are, what puberty looks like, what body changes to expect, how to respond to a first period, what products to buy, how to support period pain, when to seek medical help, and how to create a period-ready home.
More than a health guide, Daddy & Periods is a fatherhood guide.
It challenges the belief that periods are only "women's business" and reminds fathers that their presence matters. Whether you are a biological father, single dad, stepdad, uncle, grandfather, guardian, or father figure, this book helps you support your daughter with dignity, calmness, and care.
Inside, fathers will find practical scripts, reflection questions, checklists, conversation starters, and guidance for sensitive situations, including supporting girls who are early or late bloomers, building body confidence, co-parenting, and supporting transgender or gender-diverse children who still menstruate.
Daddy & Periods is for every father who wants to be prepared before the moment comes.
