Mothering Your Daughter Through Menarche 

With Emily Stewart, founder of The Real Period Project

Supporting, loving and empowering your daughter through puberty, during her first period and into a new life phase
When you join this special course, created in collaboration with The Real Period Project, you'll explore how to nurture and nourish the girl* in your life to approach her puberty years and first period with curiosity, support and a readiness for the changes ahead. 

 Menarche is often defined as a girl’s first period, but we believe it is a sacred time of transition that spans a few years around this special event. 

 Mothering your daughter as she moves through all the ups and downs of puberty is an initiation for you too. It can be a lonely and bewildering experience. We want you to feel resourced for this journey so you can both support yourself and really be there for your girl. * 

*although we use the terms mother and daughter this course is intended for anyone who has experienced periods themselves and/or those who are parenting a child who will experience periods. See FAQs for more...
This course is ideal for you if:

You are the *mother/carer (or ally) of a girl/child who is approaching or experiencing puberty, and heading towards her first period

You feel anxious about how best to support her through this sometimes tricky terrain

You don’t know how or when to start talking about periods

You know you had a difficult experience at menarche, and you don’t want your girl to go through the same challenges

You are concerned about the negative messages girls often receive about their bodies and about periods, and want to create a safe and supportive home that helps her feel empowered and prepared for the changes ahead.

FAQs
  • When does the course start and finish?
    The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
  • How long do I have access to the course?
    How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
  • What is the refund policy?
    We are unable to offer a refund on this course, in line with our terms and conditions (see link when checking out). If you are unhappy with the course, please email us at info@redschool.net so that we can chat through this with you.
  • My child is going through puberty very young, do you cover this?
    Going through puberty and starting periods earlier than their peers can be challenging for children. This course is suitable for parents of children of any age as they approach puberty, and contains suggestions and resources if your child is young.
  • My child identifies as non binary, will this course work for us?
    Although we do often use the terms mother and girl/daughter, this course is intended for anyone who has experienced periods themselves and who is parenting a child who will experience periods. As long as your child isn't experiencing body dysmorphia and distress about their birth gender, this course can help you both transition through the puberty years and includes advice on managing the transition if they don't identify as a girl. If your child is in distress, then we recommend you seek support and advice from those who specialise in helping young people through this. Check out Mermaids: https://each.education mermaids.org.uk , Mindout: https://www.mindout.org.uk or see Jo Langford’s book 'The Pride Guide'.
  • I am a devout follower of my religion, will this course be respectful of that?
    This course is designed for anyone and everyone approaching the physical development of their child/ren as they move towards starting periods. We make no judgements about religious practices or beliefs, only encourage participants to view their own experience compassionately and coach them on how to proactively encourage their own child to feel held and supported throughout the transition.
  • I had/have a terrible time with my periods, is it even possible for me to support my child having had such negative experiences?
    Periods can be extremely challenging and distressing for many people, and if this has been your experience, we understand, & we will meet you where you are. We do not sugar coat periods or deny the painful experiences many people have, but we do passionately believe that it is possible to support your child and help them have a different experience, whatever start you may have had. We offer advice and ideas to change the story in your family, and support along the way.
