You remember back to when she was a baby and she relied on you for everything?

Even until recently, you've been best buds.

Now something is changing.

She thinks you don't understand her.

When you try to talk to her, she rolls her eyes.

She seems to be ignoring what you say.

She's testing boundaries she's never tested before.

It feels like the more you try to connect, the more she pushes you away.

And then the worry sets in…

... it's understandable, especially if she's your first daughter.

SO WHAT'S A MOM TO DO?

"OH NO MISSY! 

THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!”

You were like her, once upon a time. You’ve also gone through the throes of "teenhood" and the uncertainty that comes with it.

It’s time to look back, what were the things that frustrated you? What made you feel lonely, hurt, and misunderstood?

She’s likely going through the same thing. Even talking to Mom & Dad, siblings, or friends, feels strained and muddled.

Somehow, she’s convinced that absolutely no one understands her anymore.

 So you see ... You’re not the only one who is confused.

She doesn’t know what is going on either.

Puberty is a lot to deal with, right?

So Mom and Dad, where do you find the answers to handle it all?

YOU WONDER...

Why is it so difficult to talk to her?

You can’t seem to connect with her anymore.

More often than not you get the cold shoulder, or feel your own little girl can’t open up to you like she used to.

YOU BLAME YOURSELF...

Did I do something wrong?

Most moms feel the weight their children carry. It’s unavoidable because we have a special kind of emotional connection to them. Whatever burden they carry, we feel it and want to alleviate it.

But now your daughter is at an age where she’s trying to figure things out on her own and you want to reach out and help, but notice there’s a gap.

This makes you start looking back to all the things you said and whether or not you did something that contributed to this gap...

this is such a heart ache stage for us moms, and things are about to get harder!

Untitled-design-58-1-e1631079253271-1024x1024

YOU FEEL DEFEATED...

Did I cause all of this?

I’m telling you this not just as a therapist, but also a mom, it’s not your fault.

You didn’t do anything to cause this gap, it’s a natural thing that happens.

Your daughter is at an age of exploration and she’s going through a lot.

Her body is changing overnight– literally!

She’s going through something you’ve gone through… puberty.

But no you are seeing it from the other side.

Are you having an AHA moment? You’re getting it, aren't you?

So, how do we help our daughters navigate these changes?

Millions of moms & daughters are going

through the same thing right now.

You’re not the only one

Mothers & daughters all over the world are trying to face the changes head on and make sense of this thing called puberty.

You can prepare her and support her through this stage of life — you just need the right tools.

Preparing Her for Puberty Is a Requirement —

Not an Option.

Puberty is profound. It is the stage between childhood and adulthood — and the time of the most growth and change in one's life (other than infancy).

 

That’s why it's crucial to use a proven system that cuts through the noise and misinformation and addresses the critical issues facing tweens. 

So, how do we help our daughters navigate these changes?

I thought I had covered all important topics with my daughter thoroughly on my own, but ...

“I thought I had covered all important topics with my daughter thoroughly on my own, but I couldn’t get over how much she seemed to be learning for the first time from Dr. Ziegler’s talk! I tend to get information overload very quickly, but the short segments were perfect for us and our busy lives. My daughter and I would snuggle up and watch a segment, then pause and talk about what we just heard. Sometimes it was just a 5 minute clip and then we would talk, and other times we just watched the segment all the way through and saved all of our chatting until the end. It’s so easy to take it at your own pace. Thank you Dr. Ziegler!

STRAIGHT FROM OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS

Start with the Talk is amazing! Sheryl introduces and explains all of the material in the perfect order so the girls receive it thoroughly. We decided to have ‘the Talk’ with a few of my daughter’s close friends and their moms. It was a special afternoon for the moms and girls. The small group setting enabled some girls who are quieter to listen to other girls' questions and provided a safe environment. There were laughs, tears, and heartfelt moments. Sheryl’s videos are wonderful in that they are hands-on and prepare the girls for exactly what to expect. I look forward to having the experience with my younger daughter in a few years! I highly recommend it for any mom and daughter who are entering the developmental years… is great preparation for what is to come! Thanks Sheryl!

HISTORY SHOWS

Puberty is a sensitive topic

... that requires a sympathetic approach in a clear and frank two-way discussion. 

Discussed in a comfortable and friendly environment where any awkwardness is removed.

Parenting Courses, though helpful, are usually just another course and can feel impersonal and clinical....You want the chance to address YOUR specific questions to a person.

Friends and peers as a sounding board for family issues can take it’s toll on your relationships. You may not always want to discuss these sensitive issues with others. 

How about a group where you can share your experience with others who understand?

Parenting Courses can feel like something you are made to do and get through and not feel like an informative course you can look forward to and enjoy, together with your child.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WITH

Thank You!

TESTIMONIAL

"You hit all the topics"

"You hit all the topics that I hoped you would for their age group. This was so good, you need to do a boys class!"

TESTIMONIAL

"This was a Great Class"

"I will recommend to other moms for sure. I’ve never shied away from talks with my daughters but I think it really help her to know she’s not alone.

What is covered in the "Start with The Talk" Online Course

Lesson #1: A Welcome Message from Dr Ziegler:  We begin with an introduction from me and what to expect in the lessons. You receive lifetime access to each 45 minute pre-recorded lesson.

Lessons #2- #6: Cover the changes occurring during puberty in the 3 key areas seen below.

MODULE 1

Physical Changes

Untitled-design-57-1-1024x689
  • Help your daughter gain a deeper understanding of the changes going through her body. This module will teach your daughter about the importance of hygiene and how to manage it.

MODULE 2

Emotional Changes

33-1-1-1024x689
  • Managing emotions requires being able to identify, interpret, and deeply understand them. Learn how to identify each other’s emotions (anxiety, stress, self-image, etc.) and how to respond to her feelings appropriately.

MODULE 3

Social Changes

30-1-1-1024x689
  • Social changes are what girls care about the most. Learn about how mood can affect friendships, why friendships change, and other social issues such as bullying and social media use.

School-based puberty education usually includes physical changes (and sometimes emotional changes) but rarely social changes.

Lesson #7: A Bonus Q & A from Dr Ziegler:  Responding to some of the questions girls have placed on "secret" question cards at the end of the in-person training I've done for many years.

WHAT WILL YOU COME AWAY WITH?

  • Unlimited Access gives you continuous parental support available to you throughout your daughter’s growing years. The Facebook Community will have a steady stream of relevant and up to date information.

 

  • Be an Empowered Parent and confidently parent your growing daughter setting her on a flourishing path to womanhood.

 

  • Never worry that your daughter is keeping anything from you. Reconnect with your daughter and create a space where she can openly discuss anything that is on her mind with YOU.  

 

  • Peace of mind knowing that teenage challenges are normal and feel support from smart parents who have the same aims and proactive approach with sensible discussion and shared concerns.

Parents! 

- YOUR TIME AND MONEY IS VALUABLE! 

In my private practice, I work with moms that are willing to do anything to support their daughters

I have yet to meet a mom who isn't!

For many moms and daughters, individual therapy sessions are a common choice.

But therapy is not always necessary, and it can be expensive.

If a therapist provided all the information included in "Start With The Talk", it would require at least ten sessions. At an average of $250 per session, that’s $2500.

Therapy not only costs money, but it costs time. A series of in-office therapy sessions can take weeks or months, which can be frustrating for tweens when issues arise because they don't want to wait for help...they need help immediately!

Access is instant to "Start With The Talk". And at $147, it is less than the cost of one therapy session.

Due to an overwhelming need for this education, and the fact that I could not be everywhere, I decided to make it as accessible as possible by taking it online in a professional presentation.

I know this training make a huge difference in the lives of our girls, it reduces anxiety, helps them realise they are not alone, and provides a unique opportunity to spend special time with mom.

That’s something you can’t put a price on — your daughter's health and happiness, and your connection.

It's never too early to have ‘the talk’ — but waiting is not the best plan of action.
