You two need to go and have a girls ...Aww...Ellen. You two need to go and have a girls day and just talk. Go to wherever she feels comfortable, the beach, the mall, in the car and just talk about life and how our bodies change. You need to let her know that it's okay to wonder about our bodies, they are wonderful things, that it's okay to touch and feel so she can get to know herself. I remember being so shy that when my breasts began to form I was ashamed for my mom to see them. It shouldn't be that way and you aren't the mom to make it that way. I'm shy and modest too. Talk to her and let her know that anything she tells you is SAFE with you. Let her know that exploring her body is private but nothing to be ashamed of. Are there any videos on youtube about this? Hormones are charged up and she is growing up so fast. Don't do as our mothers did and leave it all up to us. And as I learned, start knocking on the door. ;) xxx Call me if you feel the need to talk I'm home all weekend.allmylivesnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13313979624504540722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333447314440516752.post-66581010427151592392013-09-27T05:34:09.173-04:002013-09-27T05:34:09.173-04:00Oh Ellen...

I have talked about the bra and periods and boys... my daughter is 10. I'm not the funny mama though..yet I am pretty cool mama, for 50. I have been talking about this with her since she was 5 or 6, in different terms. Like you, I want her to know she can always talk to me, about anything...nothing is off limits. I wish I had some great advice for you but you know your daughter best and I only know how to talk to mine. I hope you find a way to talk with her soon :)Launna https://www.blogger.com/profile/09447311902825477772noreply@blogger.com
