Preparing your daughter for their first period - With FluxxBox as seen on TV!
7 - 8.30 pm Thursday 8th October
Venue: Pippbrook House, Dorking
A practical, supportive evening for parents and carers in Dorking. As parents, we prepare our children for so many of life’s milestones, but when it comes to periods, many of us aren’t quite sure where to start. If you have a daughter aged around 7 years or older, this relaxed and informative evening will help you feel confident, prepared and ready to support her through this important stage of growing up. Whether she’s already asking questions, showing signs of puberty, or you’re simply planning ahead, you’ll leave knowing exactly how to make her first period a positive experience. During this session you’ll learn: - Why parents and carers play such an important role in shaping their daughter’s experience of periods. - The essentials of puberty and periods, explained in a simple, practical and approachable way. - The signs that her first period may be approaching and how to prepare as a family. - What to say (and what to avoid saying) when her first period arrives. - How to start natural, age-appropriate conversations now, before the moment comes. - You’ll also have the opportunity to ask your own questions during a live Q&A in a friendly, judgement-free environment. This session is for everyone who supports a girl, not just Mums. Dads, Grandparents, step-parents and carers are all warmly welcome, and no previous knowledge is needed. Included with your ticket - Live in-person talk - Interactive Q&A - Free downloadable resources - Exclusive FluxxBox discount code Every parent deserves to feel confident having these conversations, and every girl deserves to grow up feeling informed, prepared and supported. We’d love to see you there. Book your place today.
