Your child’s first period can feel like a big moment - for them and for you.
You might be wondering when to start talking about periods, what they actually need to know, how much detail is enough, what products to buy, or how to make the whole thing feel normal rather than awkward.
The First Period Parent Guide is a practical, reassuring introduction to periods and puberty, designed to help parents, caregivers and trusted adults feel informed and ready to support their daughter.
Inside, you'll find:
Simple ways to start conversations about periods, puberty and changing bodies - without making it feel like The Big Awkward Talk.
Clear, age-appropriate information about periods and the menstrual cycle, so you understand the basics and can answer those inevitable questions with confidence.
Practical preparation for that first period, including what your child might experience, what they might need and how you can help them feel prepared.
Conversation starters and reflection activities to help you explore feelings, worries, expectations and body changes together.
Guidance for the first period itself - including how your response can help shape the way your daughter feels about menstruation.
Body-positive messages about puberty and changing bodies, helping girls understand that bodies are wonderfully individual and don't need to develop in exactly the same way.
Activities you can actually do together, creating opportunities for open conversations rather than simply handing your child a booklet to read.
The guide also explores some of the questions parents don't always think to ask - from what is normal and not, navigating the NHS (if required), how periods can feel emotionally, to how to support a child who is anxious, embarrassed, neurodivergent or simply not very interested in talking about it!
Your daughter hasn't had her first period yet and you want to feel prepared.
Your child has recently started their period and you’d like to support them with this.
You're not sure when or how to start the conversation.
You want your child to know what to expect without overwhelming them.
You'd like to approach periods positively, calmly and without shame.
Your own experiences of periods weren't particularly positive and you want something different for your daughter.
You want a resource that helps you talk together, rather than simply giving you information to read.
“This is really great. So much useful information that is written in a way that encourages less shame for parents/carers who may have grown up with shame around the topic. I love the open questions for parents and the discussion topics broken down into age groups. The product recommendations is another thing I find a bit of a minefield so having options laid out in the way you have simplifies everything and provides detailed information to make an informed decision together. Highly recommend!”
