In India we don’t learn about these things in school, so its a really good thing you are doing. It makes it so much easier for me to educate my daughter (and myself to be honest).

When and How to Start the Puberty Conversation
Understanding when to talk to your daughter about puberty can be confusing, but experts suggest that the conversation should begin earlier rather than later—typically between 6 to 10 years old.
Observing emotional signs in your child, such as increased moodiness or curiosity about their body, can signal the perfect opportunity to start the dialogue.
"Elise & Her Friends" is designed to coincide with these early signs, making it a timely resource to initiate conversations about the changes your daughter will experience.
How to Give "The Talk" without Awkwardness
The key to a comfortable and educational talk about puberty lies in normalizing the conversation.
Begin by choosing a quiet, relaxed setting and letting your daughter lead with her questions. Use "Elise & Her Friends" as an icebreaker, allowing the story to introduce topics naturally.
The characters' experiences mirror real-life scenarios, which can help in explaining puberty's intricacies in a way that’s relatable and less intimidating for both you and your daughter.

By turning to Elise's story, parents can help their daughters understand that feeling emotions deeply is a normal part of growing up.
