Before You StartHow to use the book with her, and what to read first.
Ways to Open the TalkFor every part of the book: what's inside, what she may be feeling, and when the book sends her to you.Read the guide before you hand her the book. There's nothing in it to hide from her. It's simply easier to answer her first question when you already know where it's coming from.
You don't need a perfect speech. The Mom's Roadmap gives you easy ways to start the talk for each part of the book, so the first words are already there.
Some girls notice the first changes sooner than their moms expect. The book starts with those first signs, in words an eight-year-old can read on her own. The Mom's Roadmap lists the signs that are worth a call to her doctor.
No. You won't find sex, pregnancy, crushes, dating, or gender topics. Babies come up in one sentence, at question 51, about what the uterus is for. The Mom's Roadmap explains what we left out and why.
The book calls every body part by its name and explains it all the way through, calmly. When faith comes in, it's to remind her that God made her body good. There are no rules or guilt about her body.
Some girls find it easier to write it than to say it. The book shows her how to pick one question and bring it to you, and the Cycle Starter Pack has ready-made cards she can hand you.
Yes. Every part closes with a Bible verse and a short prayer. Inside the answers, faith comes in gently, a line at a time, never as a lecture.
