My First Period - Masterclass for Girls (Ages 9–14) & Mum | Online
Embrace the 3 P’s—Puberty, Periods & PMS
Created in partnership with Cottons, Dr Erin Nesbitt and Endometriosis Australia
Let’s be honest: for many of us mums, talking about periods with our 9 year old can feel awkward. As a result, the subject is often avoided or only covered superficially, leaving important questions unanswered.
We are normalising the conversation 🤝
Puberty, periods, and PMS are natural parts of growing up. We’ll demystify these topics so mums and daughters feel confident and totally prepared—no embarrassment necessary!
