Hi! My daughter is 11 years old. I didn’t yet explain her about menstruation. I get period when I was twelve years old. I think that I need to explain her about menstruation. She needs to know, but I don’t know how to explain her about that. Do you have any suggestions, please?

Hi! You shouldn’t wait any more to talk about menstruation with your daughter. If you wait until your daughter gets her period to talk to her about menstruation, that's too late. You should avoid "The Talk" about menstruation. You should talk first about human body. Kids can often make certain aspects of menstruation (bad and scary). You should talk about menstruation in a positive light. You should explain her that monthly periods are a natural and wonderful part of being a woman. Your daughter need to be familiar with feminine-hygiene supplies (sanitary pads and tampons). You should learn more about menstruation. You will be able to answer to all her questions.
