Set your daughter up for life with guidance from
9 News Parenting Expert, Author, TEDx Speaker, Therapist, Media Contributor, Instructor, International Speaker
Hey tween parent, I get why you are asking ...
"Will she be OK?"
It may be a simple question, but it has layers!
Puberty does not have to leave life long scars!
Prepare your preteen with the knowledge and skills to be comfortable in her skin
so she can walk through the social, emotional and physical changes of puberty with confidence.
Be guided by Psychologist and Pre-Teen Expert, Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, as you learn how to navigate the social, emotional and physical changes of puberty together.
Hear more from Isabella below.
As a professional therapist, Dr. Sheryl Ziegler has been featured on many large platforms to help parents all over the country communicate and relate to their children.
As you send her out the door each day (or drop her off) ...
to school,
to sport,
to music practise,
to a friend's house ...
there they are!
Those nagging questions you wish you had answers for ...
She has them too!
Remember when she was a baby, she relied on you for everything?
Now it seems that stage was easier.
This new territory brings so many aspects that are out of your control.
... it's understandable you have these concerns,
especially if she's your first daughter.
If you're anything like me,
YOU WANT HER TO KNOW SHE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!
And she can!
She's about to go through one of the HARDEST TRANSITIONS of her life.
This time can change everything!
Mom, you've been there!
How was your experience?
Were you left floundering, perhaps not even feeling "seen".
The whole season may have felt taboo!
Dad, you know you want to help because you're "Mr. Fix it", right?
And this is your little girl ....
SO WHAT'S A PARENT TO DO?
"How do I prepare her for ...
The PHYSICAL changes
The EMOTIONAL unknowns
The SOCIAL challenges
yet help her learn to
CELEBRATE her body and it's changes
so she walks into AND through puberty with
- CONFIDENCE
- STRENGTH
and
- RESILLIANCE
As a parent, you want her equipped so she ....
IS NOT CAUGHT OFF-GUARD
by the physical changes that take place in her body (and is prepared for "surprises".
KNOWS SHE'S NOT CRAZY
with emotions "she does not understand!" (and that she is not alone in experiencing them).
IS PREPARED WITH ANSWERS
to the social pressures , direct or indirect, so that bullying and 'the Jones'" don't rock her boat.
Puberty is a lot to deal with, right?
Not only do you want her to THRIVE!
You also want to SURVIVE!
It's also bigger than that ....
scarily, this stage of life can impact the trajectory of her future!
What is that worth?
(To you AND to your daughter?)
You've possibly already asked questions, read articles, bought books.
YOU WONDER...
is this enough to ensure she's well prepared for this stage of life where impactful choices are being made?
The TV...
Maybe not?
Most parents are already aware of the damaging effects some shows can have on our girls perception of their bodies and how life should look.
Yet, it's easy to miss some of the things they are inadvertently picking up, even from the things we are watching.
Take time to make sure that this is not the source of information that is forming her perception of puberty and her body.
Books ...
Some have been helpful?
There is certainly value in information received from books, although it can take some time to make sure you have read through beforehand.
Whichever way you go about it, there is greater impact in doing it together. Create the bond that these discussions bring, open the doorway for her to feel safe to communicate.
Peers ...
I think we can all agree that this is probably NOT the most beneficial place for your daughter to be receiving her guidance on what lays ahead, what's happening to her body and how she should think about it.
Your daughter is entering an age of greater vulnerability.
It will already be hard enough to watch that child-like innocence disappearing.
Ensure you are guiding the education that she is receiving
about her body, puberty, relationships and emotions.
Parenting is not an easy road, but it's a rewarding one.
We have an incredible responsibility and opportunity to raise a generation of girls who can celebrate their body and it's changes
... and then carry that confidence into the world to create positive change.
Get guidance from a pre-teen and family psychologist so you can ...
Send your pre-teen daughter into the world with a confidence
that comes from knowing
what lies ahead, what the answers are, and that her parents have her back.

... before there are bigger issues that have to be addressed first.
So, how do we help our daughters navigate these changes?
I thought I had thoroughly covered all the important topics with my daughter on my own, but ...
“I thought I had thoroughly covered all the important topics with my daughter 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!
Laura W, mom of 11 year old girl.
Meet your host:

I have over 20 years experience in family therapy and worked with thousands of families. I’m a Girl Scouts Leader, Girls on the Run Coach and Advocate for children. I’m also a mom to 2 daughters.
I began the “Start With The Talk” course 9 years ago in person to hundreds of girls and their parents, and I've had the great privilege to be a part of a community of families doing their best to raise their daughters.
Become part of our growing community that proactively "Starts With The Talk"!

at a time and in a place that is convenient for you.
UNLIMITED Access to the course
TOTAL VALUE for all of this is FAR MORE than $147 $97 in order to prepare your daughter for what is ahead.
- discuss the physical aspects of her body you may feel uncomfortable to talk about (no shame in that),
- put positive things in place for healthy hygiene
- prepare her with strategies for dealing with hormone driven emotions,
- equip her with confidence for the school hallway banter and careless chatter
- strengthen her to manage the bully's taunts or the confusing friendships
and give her the confidence to KNOW WHAT TO DO when "that time" comes.
STRAIGHT FROM OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS
Start with the Talk is amazing!
Dr. 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.
Dr. 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!

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE WITH
What Is Not!
Start With The Talk IS NOT sex education.
Most parents don't believe their young girls are ready for thoughts and discussions around sexual activity, especially as the onset of puberty becomes earlier.
Sex education is often what is presented in school.
However, most parents like you are looking for a Parenting course to engage in with your daughter so you both gain understanding and appreciation of this childhood phase.
As your daughter is helped to understand the physical, emotional and social changes of puberty she can confidently face middle school and beyond.
“So many moms have told me that no one ever talked to them about "this stuff" and how helpful and different things would have been if they would have.” Dr Z
Prepare her (and yourself) for this new stage in life with
the right knowledge and skills.
Start With The Talk is a carefully-crafted and professionally-presented class
on the social, emotional and physical changes of puberty.
This online course helps moms and their preteen daughters reach a place of understanding based on scientific education and rich experience. This will help you and your daughter transition smoothly through this challenging and confusing time. During this course you’ll learn...
“The Talk”
The Start With The Talk Online course covers the most important topics in “The Talk”. You and Your Daughter enjoy this course together. It’s empowering for her to be knowledgeable about what is happening with her body so she can calmly and confidently handle it all!

"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.

She often expresses that she is not ready for the changes she is going through and I think this helped her relax."

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
- 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
- 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
- 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.
Imagine knowing what to say and when to say it
Help your daughter celebrate her body (and it's changes too)!
Springboard your discussion from Dr. Z's professional presentation.
WHAT WILL YOU COME AWAY WITH?
- 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.

- 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 $97,
it is less than the cost of one therapy session.
Due to an overwhelming need for this education, I decided to make it as accessible as possible by taking it online in a professional presentation.
This training will make a huge difference in the lives of our girls, it reduces anxiety, helps them realize 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.

(or to still gain better understanding if she's already in the throes of puberty).
