When your daughter cries and you do not know what to say: a guide for dads

Overwhelm happens when you have too much to think about, do, or feel all at once. Your brain gets overloaded like a computer with too many tabs open. School, activities, friendships, family, your changing body – it all piles up. You might feel frozen, scattered, or like you can’t handle anything. Overwhelm is your signal that you need to slow down and simplify.

What can help:

What to know

  • Write everything down to get it out of your head
  • Pick just ONE thing to focus on right now
  • Ask for help or extensions when you need them
  • Say no to things that aren’t essential

You don’t have to do everything perfectly or all at once!
