Today I had one of those moments that reminds you why you do what you do.
I was checking in for an appointment when the woman at the front desk looked at me and said, “You’re the lady who does the mother-daughter tea parties, aren’t you?”
When I said yes, she came over and thanked me. She told me she attended one of the tea parties with her daughter two years ago. Recently, her daughter got her first period, and because of what they learned together, she wasn’t scared; she was prepared… and even excited!!!
I can’t tell you how much that meant to hear.
That is EXACTLY why I created Dr. Cynthia's Mother Daughter Tea Party.
Of course I want girls to understand what to expect with their menstrual cycle: what happens, how to prepare a period kit for their backpack, what to do when it starts, and how to take away the fear of the unknown. But this event has always been about SO-MUCH-MORE than biology.
My goal has always been to celebrate the incredible way God designed the female body and to help girls see this new season of life as something to embrace rather than dread.
Just as importantly, the tea party is designed to strengthen the relationship between mothers and daughters. Throughout the event, there are activities and conversations that encourage communication, trust, and connection before puberty even begins. Rather than replacing a mother’s role, I hope to support it. I send each mother and daughter home with ideas and a “homework assignment” to choose together the products and approach that feel right for their family.
Today’s conversation reminded me why this has always been such a passion project.
The only reason I haven’t hosted a tea party in the past two years is because I’ve lost my venue. I’m hoping to find a space that will allow me to keep the event affordable for families.
So I’m asking for your help. If you know of a church, community center, event space, tearoom, or other venue that might be willing to host a Mother-Daughter Tea Party at a reasonable cost, I’d be so grateful if you would send me their contact information or tag them below.
I’d love to bring this special event back and help more mothers and daughters create memories—and confidence—that last a lifetime. 💕
