advice
My daughter is 9 years old and just came to me about having her first period. We have never had "the talk" about periods or sex and I'm not really sure how to explain this to her, especially since she's my only child. I didn't expect to have to deal with this with her being so young still. I helped her clean up and quickly ran over how to put on a menstrual pad but I am clueless as to what I should tell her about what periods are. Obviously she's curious why this is happening all of a sudden. What should I say to her? How do I explain periods to my daughter? I told her that we would talk about this tomorrow but I have absolutely no idea what I should say. Thank you.
usually. the school she attends will have a class talk (in my school with two classes in a year/grade) they took the girls in one classroom and the boys in the other for their talk, as men need to be having a serious talk at that age too! ;)
my mum ran over me with tampons and pads too wheni was about 10. i cant remember if she ran over the actall bleeding part with me though
however i was reading the other day about having talks with you kids through books. their are all kinds of books today written in a childs dialect and form, especally for parents to give to their kids to learn about the adults world, including divorce, sex, periods and stuff like that.
my advice would to look on parent dish dot com as that is where i read about it they might have some suggestions on there
also they might have suggestioong and other tips on the talk if you deicde to give her an actual talk!
(Rating: 3) Your lack of proper capitalization actually makes your writing a little difficult to read, first of all. I'm not picking on you, but, rather, suggesting that you might want to take the time to hit the "shift" button from time to time to help increase the way you come through to your readers.
Secondly, this didn't really answer my question very much. I was hoping for more direct way of handling this rather than handing her off to the public school system or a book. I also was hoping for a suggestion from someone who could let me know more about what to say to her rather than what book to pick up. I'd like to have this womanly discussion with her during her first period--not three periods down the road when I've found a good book I agree with. Get me?
Thank you though.
