Is there anyone that could give me a bit of advice on giving my 12 year old daughter the mother Nature talk!!!!
@yourmodernmomma, Didn't want to be to straight up with her. She's one of the more later bloomers. Most girls here age don't even think of playing with dolls. BUT think GOD. She's one of the ones that still act her age!!! Thanks for the Advice..
@christimary0, WOW would have never thought of that idea. That an AWESOME thing to do.
Maybe make her a little bag or a box with period stuff? I remember when I was 13 my mother was no longer in my life and I had started my period. My aunt used to always buy me liners and face washes and pads so that I wouldn't have to ask my dad for it. I had a good stash before starting my period too. Maybe you could put some pads in there and some chocolates. Maybe some midol if you trust her to take medicine on her own. Maybe a heating pad for cramps. Just a gift box of things she may need so when the time comes, she's ready. Especially if she gets her period and nobody is around to help her get things she needs right away.
Thats really great! And I love @christimary0 idea! I just grew up in an unconventional household. However you explain though, please try not to make anything seem as a taboo. I could only pray my daughter is comfortable enough to come to me with any questions. I think its great you want to educAte yours. Not enough parents try and explain these things.
