Dads Belong in the Puberty Conversation, Too


Happy Blue Micromoon,

Summer is almost here, and this can be the perfect time to fit in those important conversations that help your daughter feel safe, informed, and supported.

We still have plenty of space in our upcoming “Media Mindset: Healthy Digital Habits” workshop on June 6. If your daughter would benefit from a small group, supportive, discussion-based environment, this is a wonderful opportunity.

Registration also includes access to my most popular parent workshop, “Parenting in the Digital Age,” which I’ve presented at Brandeis, Clarendon, Jefferson, Vallecitos, and Madera Elementary Schools. Parents will leave with practical strategies for navigating screentime, smartphones, social media, and exposure to sexualized content in ways that reduce shame, power struggles, and overwhelm.

Father’s Day is coming up, and a few families have expressed interest in a dad-and-daughter “Flow” workshop on Saturday, June 20, from 2:00–3:30 p.m. We especially welcome families with two dads, stepdads, grandfathers, or any caring grown-up who wants to strengthen connection and communication during this stage. If you’re interested, please reply to this email. If we have at least five pairs, I’ll send out a registration link. If there isn’t enough interest, I’m always happy to offer something similar in the fall.

Dad & Daughter "Flow" 5-star Yelp review:

"I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend the "Flow" workshop for dads and daughters, and let me tell you, as an engaged dad, it was an absolutely eventful experience! The workshop was so well put together, and it genuinely warmed my heart to see how dedicated Konika is to empowering girls. What struck me the most was the personal touch - Konika's gratitude for our participation and her willingness to combine science and social and emotional activities.

The real highlight came after the workshop when my daughter, Amelie, shared that I was now on her puberty team. She then proceeded to inform me that she would come to me to ask about her menstrual cycle.

I can't thank you enough Konika for creating such a supportive environment. Dads - I highly encourage you to attend GPS courses and make Konika part of your life." - Jamie Nunez

Only two spots remain in our summer camps! If your daughter is joining us for camp, please invite her friends and classmates.

Finally, I’m partnering with my favorite kids’ bra brand, Bleuet! I’ll be writing a short “Ask the Expert” column for their newsletters and appearing in some Instagram ads answering FAQs. If you shop through my link, I’ll receive a small commission, and I’ll be setting those proceeds aside to help create a financial assistance fund for families interested in our programs. You can use this link for 15% off: - Bleuet Discount Code.

Feel free to email me at here if you have any questions.

With gratitude,

Konika

Happy Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse! 🌕✨ Did you miss me? I fully immersed myself in the joy of running an amazing four weeks of Girl Power Science summer camp. On the very last day of camp, my body decided it had had enough. I suddenly felt a sharp, excruciating abdominal pain and ended up in the hospital. I don’t know what was scarier, the actual pain or the fact that I had no health insurance due to a computer system error. 😳 Those of you who follow me on Instagram, @girlpowerscience, know all...

Happy New Moon, The most common questions I get from parents are: “When should I talk to my daughter about puberty?” and “When should I talk to her about the birds and the bees?” I’m seeing more and more second and third graders at our workshops, which makes sense because the average age for the onset of puberty in girls is 8, and some girls begin as early as age 6. I’ve been a puberty educator for two decades, and in the past, parents often asked if third grade was too young. These days, I...

Happy New Moon, My inbox has been full this week with so many amazing moms asking for workshops before everyone heads off on summer adventures. I hear you. This time of year is a big transition for our daughters (and for us), and it’s worth supporting them with the tools they need before everything shifts. I’m offering the four topics moms are requesting the most and a bundle deal (save $50) when you register for both kids workshops. Feel free to email me at here if you have any questions. Go...
