Things Mom Must Tell Her Daughter Before She Gets Her Period

You probably should start sooner than you think. Though the average age of the first period is around 12 years, there are more and more instances of early puberty or precocious puberty being reported. Even as early as age 6 or 7 years. Here are a few tips that you can follow to protect your daughter from early puberty.

Have You Talked To Your Daughter About Her First Period?

Signs of puberty include a sudden growth spurt, changes in body shape, and underarm and pubic hair growth. Breasts typically begin developing around ages 8 or 9, and she may need to start wearing beginner bras. Here are tips to help you choose the right starter bra for her.

If you notice any of these signs, be sure your daughter understands and feels comfortable with the following:

About The Period Itself

You must ensure that she knows what period means and the fact that she will get her period every month. You can use this fun video lesson on puberty to teach her all about it. 

Period Means Lots Of Period Products

There are more period products on the market today than ever before, and this can be confusing. This fun video by HowToTellYourChild.com will introduce her to all the available options and how to use and dispose of them. But as a word of caution, she’s better off using pads rather than tampons, since tampons carry a risk of toxic shock syndrome. She can also use period panties to prevent stains as pads might not be sufficient protection for long days at school with sports and moving around.

Show And Tell

It’s not enough to just watch the videos and talk about these products. It’s important to have these products on hand and ready for her. It would be even better if you demonstrated how to use and dispose of them too. 

Being Ready

We all know by now that periods are unpredictable. Especially in the first year, she’ll experience many body changes. So it’s best if she starts using leakproof panties a week before her period and always carries her period essentials in her school bag.  

Being Positive

Cramps, tiredness, irritability and bloating are some of the not-so-pretty effects of periods. You are her primary role model. Teaching her that having a healthy period is important. You can influence her to be positive and to take discomforts in her stride. This will be the lesson of her life.

So, there you go. Equip your little angel with these important lessons and watch her shine. Period or No Period.
