- what periods are and why we have them,
- all about ovulation and discharge as a health marker and indicator of when our next period is due,
- anatomy of body parts explained: no more confusing the terms vulva and vagina!
- menstrual cycle 101: more than a period, we have 4 inner seasons each month, how to work out which one you're in, how it affects you, and how to nurture yourself in each season,
- period products and body care: a simple guide to using and choosing products that your child feels comfortable with, so they're not in the dark on the day they suddenly need to use them!
I wrote this to be understood by children aged 9+ unlike many other books which are aimed at older children. It's a reference book you and your child can come back to again and again as they have new questions, ensuring you have a shared language between you, and openness in your mother-daughter relationship. Pass it to dads too, so they can learn everything they've secretly wanted to know, so they can be period-positive too.
