Item Description

Telephone coaching session to guide you in creating a special way of celebrating your daughter's coming of age with her.

Every girl is different, and teens are easily embarrassed, so there is an art to finding a unique way of celebrating her coming of age with her.  We know that marking important transitions is of great value - hence all the effort that goes into marriages, funerals, and baby namings, but we've lost the precious cultural rite of passage that takes our children safely and surely into adulthood.  Read the 'Journeying into Womanhood' pages on my website (http://ritesforgirls.com/journeying-towards-womanhood/) and from there I will spend a telephone hour with you guiding you in designing your daughter's coming of age celebration.

Item Special Note

My name is Kim McCabe and I'm a home-educating mother of two boys, one girl, two cats and a number of aloe vera plants; wife to a Kiwi, daughter to travelling parents, friend to a precious few, and lover of time alone too. The words that I write arise from many years of research and working with young people. I have been a counsellor to distressed teenagers, carried out sex education in schools and youth groups, been a youth worker and assertiveness trainer, shamanic dance teacher, and business management consultant. Now I hold groups for girls as they come of age and support mothers of daughters.  However, I am also an ordinary motherliving in the Ashdown Forest, near to Forest Row in Sussex, England, who sometimes shouts at her kids, accidentally steps on the cat's tail, and forgets to water the plants.
