Stop Squirming - It’s Called ‘Men-stray-shun.”
As comfortable as I am talking about my own bodily functions since having children, I’m hoping that carries over to a constant conversation about my childrens’ bodies with them. However, I know that lots of parents are uncomfortable starting that conversation with their kids - particularly their daughters - if it hasn’t been a normal topic around the table. From breast buds & hair in strange places to mood swings and first periods, the changes that are brought about by puberty are vast.
No matter how comfortable or uncomfortable you are with talking about it, you and your daughter are sure to appreciate My First Period Kit & DVD from Healthy Chats. While no DVD should be your child’s sole education on the subject, this kit is a perfect starting point. She (and you) will hear the deets from an expert instead of the kids on the playground and you’ll have a mutual knowledge base when you talk about what’s happening with her on any particular day. Based on 15 years of Dr. Chrystal de Freitas presenting mother-daughter seminars & designed for mothers and daughters to watch together, the DVD breaks the ice in a close to perfect way for conversations about anatomy, hygiene, periods & the use of the accompanying paraphernalia, emotional changes, conception & birth, values & principles and more.
The package includes the 99 minute DVD, a full colour parent guide and quick reference card, a bracelet and a “pad purse,” plus a 1-year Healthy Chats online/interactive subscription with newsletters & email access to Dr. de Freitas.
Win it! We’re giving away a My First Period Kit & DVD valued at $20 to one randomly selected T.O.P. reader. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post before September 15/08 @ midnight MST.

September 8th, 2008 at 6:49 am
I want to win!
September 8th, 2008 at 7:00 am
yep ..I am not embarrassed to say I could use this—not for myself but yes, its always nice to have a refresher when talking
September 8th, 2008 at 7:11 am
Wow… 99 minutes? That sounds like it should be pretty detailed info!
September 8th, 2008 at 7:51 am
This sounds like it would be a big help when that moment comes. Count me in!
September 8th, 2008 at 8:16 am
I’ve been thinking about this for my daughter - This would be extremely helpful! Thanks
September 8th, 2008 at 8:38 am
I would love to win this for my niece.
September 8th, 2008 at 9:15 am
This would be perfect timing to win this for me. My daughter is almost the age to have this discussion this would be a BIG help!

This would be handy to have.
September 8th, 2008 at 10:28 am
ohh this will come in handy sometime soon this year
September 8th, 2008 at 11:05 am
What a great idea. I’ve been wondering about what tactic I will use to talk to my daughter who is now 9.
September 8th, 2008 at 11:35 am
looks like a great prize
September 8th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
This would be great for my niece,
September 8th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
I’d love to win this. I’ve already talked with one daughter about this and have one to go. They are 8 and 9 and we’re currently studying the human body in our homeschooling. This would help with further discussing puberty with them! It’s a hard subject to talk about but I WILL NOT be like my mother and never speak a word on it and let them find out for themselves the day it happens!

I wish my mother had had this when I was growing up; I had no idea what was happening to me back then. Fortunately, I’ve got a great line of communication with my girls.
My eldest daughter will be needing this for her daughter! I’d love to win it for her.
Thanks

love to win
September 8th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
This would be nice for a refresher course for when the time comes to actually sit down and watch this with the girls. I found out about this on my own. My mother never talked to me with me.
September 8th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Yes, starting to think about this. I know some girls start early — and my girl is 7. Thanks for offering such a helpful prize.
September 8th, 2008 at 6:19 pm

September 8th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
This sounds like a wonderful aid in helping a parents make sure they provide there daughters (and sons) too with the amazing changes there bodies go threw in puberty.
September 8th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Oh, I can’t even tell you how much I would love (and need!) to win this. I was the only girl with all brothers and had a mother who discussed nothing at all — so even while I want to do so much better, it does make me nervous!
September 8th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
How helpful. Heaven knows, I need some. My only daughter just tuned 11 and the talk is coming. I hope I can get the facts out before the actual event happens. Thanks for the chance.
September 8th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Love the concept.
September 8th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Great website and contest!
