5 reasons your daughter needs YOU to talk to her about puberty
Our research shows that without proper information and support during puberty, many girls feel ashamed and fearful of their periods, resentful of their fertility, and needlessly suffer through painful cycles —believing that all of this is simply their “lot in life” as women.
You know your daughter may have already seen things and heard things from her peers, school, and social media … and that some of it might be negative, unpleasant, or downright wrong information. You may also know (or sense) that your daughter feels uncomfortable talking about these things with you.
Here are five essential reasons why the Period Genius video series is important for your daughter:
- Your daughter will not learn the truth without your help: other influences will tell her partial and misguiding stories about herself.
- Puberty is a major interruption in her life. It’s puzzling and difficult, and it has profound body, mind, and soul implications. Understanding her fertility through the Period Genius video series will not only provide answers to practical and health questions, it will literally help her understand her identity.
- She is not too young to learn this information. Not only is her body about to change drastically (or has already), she sees others and hears about it all around. The course is not about sex. It teaches the truth about the female body like no other courses does, the what and why of its design, and how to take care of it.
- Medical responses to her need in this area are not always adequate, and in fact, they can have very negative consequences. She needs to be equipped to resist the pressure to get on contraception as a teen.
- Without proper education, she is more likely to develop false ideas about herself: that her fertility is a problem, that her body is not really good, that she herself is not good enough. She will think that she must perform a certain way to be loved and accepted. This is a very dangerous way of thinking for young women and that’s why so many get hurt or experience mental health difficulties.
These are big conversations, and they can be intimidating for both you and your daughter. But with Period Genius, you can get comfortable talking about the awkward stuff with your preteen or teen daughter—and when you have the right information, it doesn’t need to be a scary experience for either of you.
“I wanted to be the one to talk to my daughter about her cycle and about sexuality and reproduction but I didn’t feel confident. This course was great because it presented the information and then provided opportunity for discussion between my daughter and me.”
