Changes Kit for tweens entering puberty

December 3rd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Puberty is right around the corner for my two oldest daughters and I’m thrilled that there are so many products on the market to educate and celebrate becoming a woman. The Changes Kit is my favorite.

The Changes kit was developed by Staten Island Registered Nurses Tara Harrington and Susanne Marcotte-Carroll who have 5 young girls between them –all of whom are about to enter puberty.

Changes is a really cute kit for tween girls and parent of tweens to teach them the ins and outs of puberty and spark discussion in a friendly, confident, nurturing way. I really love that there are two varieties of Changes Kits: The “Young Miss” Changes Kit for the girliest of girls and the “Tomboy” kit for your sportier tween.

It’s done in a really fun way and includes:

  • The Guide –which provides information about what to expect and how to navigate the agonizing process of puberty
  • The Journal with menstrual calendar– to jot down notes, thoughts and whatever else she dreams up and the calendar within the journal helps her keep track of her cycle.
  • The multi-color “mood” pen and super cute note cards — (if you need to tell your teacher or the school nurse what’s going on with out completely feeling mortified).

Each kit also features 3 uplifting scents (we all know how much tweens love perfume!). The “Young Miss” Kit includes scents such as FEEL PRETTY, RAINY DAY and DIVA while the “Tomboy” Changes Kit features TOM BOY, CELEBRATE, and KNOW IT ALL scents. Each of the scents can be mixed and matched or worn alone. It is all up to the girl and what she feels on any given day!

The kit is beautifully packaged and the website is very appealing. Not at all what my daughters would call cheesey!

The Changes Kit retails for $24.95 and can be purchased here.

    That is too cute and trendy looking too. My daughter would have loved this. She’s 17 now, but I remember buying her a cute little book, that they still sell today, that had pictures and drawings etc… This would have been fun for her and another way to help things feel less scary.
