When her teen daughter reached that age when she finally got her menstruation, mom knew from her own mom’s guidance how she would prepare her daughter for this turning point in her life. This gave the daughter much reassurance, especialy knowing that her mother was never too far away to give her those needed tips on personal hygiene, the birds and the bees and what to watch out for as she matures into adulthood.

And when the daughter grows up and becomes pregnant herself, she is confronted with the fear of the unknown, "Am I ready to be a mother?" After all. she will be faced with the responsibility of nurturing her baby from the moment he or she is born. Simple things like knowing how to bathe that very delicate body, or hold that limp head, or sanitize the umbillical cord area are daunting to a new mom

Some moms would wish that there was a school to prepare them for all that, so that the joys of motherhood would be experienced from the very start.
