Ask for Help: If you can't seem to approach the topic; if you or your daughter are extremely uncomfortable talking about sensitive subjects, or if your a dad in need of some support, you may want to look for help. If your daughter has a close bond with an aunt, cousin, grandparents, or another female in your life, consider asking them to help your daughter. Sometimes it's easier for young girls to speak to someone besides their mother when it comes to the changes in their body. Don't feel ashamed if you look for help. The goal is to inform your daughter during this stage of her life and finding help is something your best or only option.
Be Perceptive: In order to make this transition go smoothly you need to pick up on the cues your daughter gives off. If she is uncomfortable at the mention of this and other female subject, make sure to go easy on her. Don't make it a huge deal, don't announce it to family and friends, and make your partner swear that won't tell her you told them. If she seems to be looking for you to step up and tell her what to do, taking a shopping trip and let her explore. The goal is to make this easy for her, not you so let her demeanor guide your course of action.
