As a mom of a girl, I do agree that you have to cut the cord eventually. But while she is still young, I want to be there for her when she has questions. I do not want her to think she is dying when she starts her period (my mom thought she was dying, no one told her a thing!). I do not stare at her private area, and she showers alone (until it is time to rinse the shampoo out. she has a ton of hair and needs my help with this). I want her to be more knowledgable about her changing body than I was. I received the book today, and she is really excited about reading it together. I feel like I am starting this on the right foot, let's hope I can keep it that way.
