February Shout-out

2/28/2015

There’s no easy way to broach the subject of puberty. We all know it’s part of the circle of life, our parents dealt with it and their parents before that. In fact some cultures view puberty as a right of passage, an event or ceremony to be celebrated--some more elaborate than most weddings. 

Then there’s me...although my daughter hasn’t reached puberty yet, I’m starting to see the signs and it frightens me. A couple weeks ago while I was doing some house work my mind began racing and all the “what-ifs” played over and over again in my mind. The reality is my daughter is going to experience physical and emotional changes she won’t fully understand and no matter how simplistic I make the conversation I don’t think she’ll comprehend what’s happening. What do I do? It is inevitably going to happen so how do we cope? I know this is a private matter and trust me this is hard for me to share, but I know there’s someone out there that knows exactly how I feel and may be willing to share their experience. I also know there are very strong opinions about whether or not to use medicine to stop or slow down the process. For my husband and I we just want to make the best decision for our daughter.
