Living with a Menstrual Teenager in Anxious Times - Miranda Gray - Bog

It can be hard enough living with a teenager with a menstrual cycle under normal circumstances, but with worldwide insecurity, financial meltdowns, global pandemics, pending environmental catastrophe, civil unrest, increasing international isolation, and rapidly changing technology, social relations and regulations, things can be even more challenging for both Mother and Daughter to understand each other and to meet each other's needs. With two menstrual cycles living under the same roof it's not surprising that emotions run high, and that there is misinterpretation and misunderstanding. Living together in close proximity, small misunderstandings have the potential to become major disputes that affect the wellbeing of the whole family.
Many Mothers feel the need for a guide to understand the menstrual cycle of their teenage Daughters, and in that understanding to also recognise how their own cycle affects them and impacts on their Daughter. This process is not a science - there is no instruction manual for you as a Cyclic Woman or for your Daughter, instead you need to view things in the light of caring and loving exploration and discovery. If you can understand how your Daughter is feeling then you can change your approach to be more empathic and more flexible, which will not only create more positive responses from her but also allow you to meet your needs as well as hers without confrontation.
This book will help you to navigate the challenges and build a closer and more harmonious relationship and living environment.
Understand your own cycle and your teenager's cycle better. Make things easier for both you and her. Know when and what to do, and what not to do. Create a flexible and adaptive cyclic relationship.The outcome is a simple and heartfelt desire: To manage the complexities of the menstrual cycle in the modern environment with your teenager in the most harmonious way possible, meeting her needs as well as your own.

Then you can both approach the personal and global challenges in harmony and step out into the world feeling strong and empowered and with a better understanding of who you are and what you can do together.
