Do you remember when you were young and being on your period was just so traumatic? We had different code names that would save us from the embarrassment. Today, I have a teenage daughter and I know I never want to put her through what I did. I want to normalize the conversation about a woman's body around my husband. It is natural and there should be no embarrassment.
We need to ensure we raise sons and daughters to be more empathetic so they don't fall prey to bullying.
Recently, Mansi Zaveri, Founder of Kidsstoppress, spoke to Tisca Chopra- mom, actress and author about her new book – What's Up With Me?: Puberty, Periods, Pimples, People, Problems and More, about raising a strong daughter and normalizing conversations.
She speaks to us about:
- How to talk to your children without being preachy and pedantic about the human body and what it goes through
- Cool kids lingo (don’t miss her enact that!)
- Joint family systems and periods
- The awkwardness of the newspaper-wrapped pads and accepting and embracing who you are
- How to get your kids to value things when they have so much
- A fun rapid-fire (you wouldn’t want to miss this!)
And more…
Watch the video to know what Tisca says about raising girls with a steel spine and how she wants boys to read her book as much as girls after they are going through changes too. We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did being a part of it!
