The purpose of this study was to understand the reconstruction experience of mothers who had recently experienced a late-school age daughter’s menarche by utilizing a hermeneutic phenomenological research methodology based on Parse’s human becoming theory. Data were collected using purposive and snowball sampling methods to recruit the mothers of elementary fifth- and sixth-grade girls recently experiencing menarche. The data were analyzed using Parse’s research methodology. As a result, the mothers’ experiences appeared as “the process of reconstructing the menarche-related values created by themselves by facing the child’s menarche experiences and related responses along with the change of era.” The key concepts of there construction experiences of the mothers were “experiencing an ambivalent feeling of pity and pride,” “celebrating her instead of expressing concerns,” “giving a traditional lesson of protecting oneself to a new generation,” and “feeling empathy as a woman and also alienation due to the generational gap.” These findings reveal the important roles and competencies of community and school nurses in terms of achieving a healthy and positive reconstruction experience for mothers and their daughters. Also, it is necessary to develop educational programs for mothers who are about to encounter their daughters’ menarche.
