Preparing your daughter for the arrival of her first period is easily overlooked as her body starts to develop with the onset of puberty. In fact, girls are now starting their periods as young as 8 ! It takes a conscious decision – and effort – to spend time in our busy lives putting a period pack together for her. All too soon it's too late: her period has arrived unexpectedly, necessitating a mad scramble to get her some pads (that may be way too big for her) and show her what to do.
Thankfully, PoGo has done a lot of the hard work for you.
Not only is the Pogo Pack™ a practical, all–in–one product that supports your daughter – at what can be a rather anxious time – it also provides an opportunity for you to talk to her on this very important subject. However, if you find it difficult to do so, the information in the Pogo Pack™ explains what she needs to do and will help to give her the confidence she needs.
Of equal importance is that the giving of a Pogo Pack™ to your daughter is a responsible, sensitive and caring gesture that tells her she is important and you're thinking about her needs as she moves into the next stage of her development into a young woman.
The Pogo Pack™ has been developed to help parents by offering:
• that you have prepared your daughter for an important life event
• reassurance that your daughter can cope confidently when her periods start
• in knowing that your daughter will learn about her cycle and be able to manage her periods effectively
We've included in both the Pogo Pack™ and the Pogo Purse™ a name tag for the girls to complete so all items can be easily identified – which is particularly useful for school.
One parent suggested that with her three daughters, she needed to differentiate the Packs somehow. The Packs can be personalised quite easily with a fun charm or any amount of paraphernalia that girls love to clip onto bags these days!
Furthermore, if you need to purchase more than one pack, the postage becomes increasingly more cost effective the more packs you buy.
If you are already experiencing the challenging changes in your daughter, perhaps you'd welcome some ideas? We hope to build a resources section for parents, which may offer some useful insights and practical tips on navigating those changes.
