15.01.2022 Even today, menstruation is too often a taboo topic and, as a result, what information girls hear about it is frequently negative or incorrect, and even school ...health classes that discuss the subject often focus on the nuts and bolts without ever touching on the real, practical experience of a monthly cycle. As a result, menarche a girl’s first period can be a disconcerting experience for many girls. But parents, mentors, and friends of Mighty Girls can turn this milestone of womanhood into a much more positive and empowering experience. By providing lots of accurate information and practical advice, girls can learn to view their menstrual cycle in a totally different way: as an important element of their female nature and as a key sign of coming adulthood. In our newly updated post, we recommend a number of excellent books to help girls understand how menstruation works as well as how to manage the physical and emotional changes that come with it. These recommendations include books geared toward helping prepare girls who are still a year or two away from menarche as well ones that offer teens a more detailed understanding of how their cycles and bodies work. The post also recommends several first period supply kits and related resources that are helpful to have on hand so your Mighty Girl will feel prepared for when the time comes.

05.01.2022 You knew it would happen one of these days: your daughter is a tween. Maybe you just realized that she’s looking eye-to-eye with you or perhaps you’re seeing ot...her early signs of puberty. Or, your daughter is a teen, and while she thinks she knows everything about her changing body, you want to make sure that she has accurate information and good resources to consult when questions arise. In our newly updated blog post, we review a variety of excellent resources for tween and teen girls on puberty, their changing bodies, and their emerging sexuality. We also recommended a number of books for parents that address topics ranging from navigating early puberty to talking to teens about sex. The pre-teen and adolescent years can be a challenging time for many young people as they undergo dramatic physical and emotional changes. However, with the right resources on hand, you can help your Mighty Girl feel empowered and knowledgeable during this important stage of development rather than face this time of change with worry or fear.

03.01.2022 A Mighty Girl Pick of the Day: "Mothering and Daughtering: Keeping Your Bond Strong Through the Teenage Years" by Eliza and Sil Reynolds. Many mothers assume th...at their relationship with their daughters will become strained in the teenage years. But what if mothers and daughters work together to make the teen years a time of closeness? This book offers two breakthrough guides in one: one for mothers, teaching them how to create a safe space for their daughters as they move into adulthood; and one for daughters, encouraging them to consider their mother their closest ally as they test out their independence. This insightful guide treats the mother/daughter relationship as a developing partnership, as a daughter moves from a dependent tween to a confident young adult setting out on her own. The authors provide more complex techniques for the moms, drawn from Sil Reynolds’ clinical experience, while the advice to daughters features age-appropriate suggestions for balancing the need for independence with a positive relationship with mom. Highly recommended for parents of tweens and teens and for girls ages 13 and up.
