I started looking out for Banvoa's flowering when she started growing breast at 10 years old. I was petrified. I knew I had to be ready. I felt like it was my next major exam in being a mother.
Banvoa started showing symptoms of starting in her menstrual cycle a few months right before she turned 12. She complained about headaches and took more naps.
It was March 23rd a few days before her birthday that we prominently noticed her flowering symptoms.
"When we know what is coming, we can prepare. When we prepare, we can be present. And when we are present, we can celebrate."

The Flowering Party is a celebration of knowledge and support. Your daughter's support comes from her own personal sacred circle.
I hope for mothers who are paying attention to their daughter's flowering symptoms read this article to gain a little knowledge from one mother to the next.
