How to Celebrate Your Daughter's First Period

Congratulations on doing your part to give your daughter a positive attitude towards her changing body during puberty.
Steps

1. Cuddle up and tell her all about your own experience ~ she will love to know and it will be a special bonding time.
2. Plan her favourite meal at home ~ decorate the table with red napkins/glass beads/red candles!
3. Take her out for a meal in an expensive restaurant.
4. Send her her first bouquet of flowers by special delivery.
5. Give her a single red rose.
6. Purchase a piece of jewelry with a red stone or ruby. This will be treasured and could even become an heirloom, passed down from mother to daughter for generations to come!
7. Make up a 'First Period' gift basket. Some items you could include:
* A ruby necklace, ring or bracelet
* A red candle
* Samples of Sealed Sanitary Items ~ eg: Tampon/Panty Liner/Sanitary Towel in a little gauze bag
* Deodorant
* Pretty underwear
* Hand towel
* A Wheatbag (for abdominal pains)
* Purchase a good book on Periods/Puberty that your daughter can read
* Cleansing Lotions/Wipes
* Soap
* Cosmetic Bag and Make-Up
* A Journal (see external link below for a free one!)
