9 Tips for Talking to a Girl about Her First Period

As a new mother of a baby girl, it never occurred to me that one day I would be teaching another human being about having a period. I could have never imagined myself doing this but it just recently happened to my daughter which meant that I was having the talk right away. While it's not always an easy thing to discuss, these 9 Tips for Talking to a Girl about Her Period can help you navigate through that time of the month chat.

9 Tips for Talking to a Girl about Her First Period

1. Talk about menstruation with your daughter as early as possible. As soon as she asks about anything, sit down with her and discuss the basics.
2. When her first period starts, this is the time to have a more in-depth discussion
3. Don't just let your daughter watch a video or give her a book to read. This doesn't really allow her to remember or ask questions. A video or a book can be a great follow up.
4. Have your daughter write down any of her questions. This is the perfect place for her to write down answers as well.
5. Always ask “What have you heard?” Since girls talk quite a bit, it is a good idea to find of what your daughter thinks she knows. This is a great time to dispel any myths or correct anything that is false.
6. Help her pick out just the right products. Always Radiant Teen pads give your teen the protection they need and the security they love. With up to 8 hours of absorbency these pads can last longer than the average school day!
7. Discuss hygiene and how to take care of yourself.
8. Share ways to feel better and deal with things like cramps, etc.
9. Share your own experience with your daughter.

Start talking to your child today. I tell my daughter that it is important to always have the confidence to #WearWhatYouWant. I want to inspire her to #BeRadiant, no matter the time of your month
