The body of a growing girl begins to change rapidly after eight years. From this age, secondary sexual characteristics begin to form in her, and menstruation occurs, as a rule, by the age of 12-15.
A conversation with a teenage girl about the changes in her body must take place without fail. Doctors believe it is better to talk about your period sooner than to be late with the conversation.
Modern girls grow up faster than their mothers and grandmothers once grew up. This is due to the nutrition and rhythm of modern life. The girl's body begins to change intensively from the age of 8.
The girl is growing rapidly, by the age of 9-10, a teenage girl has hair in her armpits, her breasts begin to enlarge. There are 2-3 years left until the "women's days", and it is important to have time to explain how a girl will become a girl.
The easiest way for girls to talk about women is with their mothers or older sisters. You can ask your aunt or grandmother to conduct such a conversation. However, it is best if the mother explains everything to the daughter.
The conversation should be started in confidence, calmly, but at the same time it should be serious, the girl should feel its importance. The age when the conversation will take place can be determined by the mother herself, but from the age of 10 it will not be "early".
You can tell your daughter that in the next few years she may start menstruating and tell her in detail what that means. Do not be afraid to call a spade a spade, the main thing is the tone in which you speak.
It is necessary to explain that bleeding will go from the uterus every month, and at the same time be happy to announce that this is the only way the girl will be able to become a mother in the future. You can tell that menstruation is a little painful, and in front of them she can be capricious for several days.
It is important to emphasize that all women have "women's days", and you too, and only because of this your daughter was born. You need to talk very seriously about hygiene on special days, tell the girl how to use the pads correctly, how many days the discharge goes.
It is necessary to emphasize the importance of water procedures and explain that it is correct to wash and take a shower during menstruation twice a day. Tell your daughter that cleanliness is the key to women's health. The girl will definitely remember your words, even if she is embarrassed at the same time.
Whether to talk to your daughter about pregnancy, you can decide during the conversation. If the girl is in the mood to listen to you, you can tell her about the pregnancy. But psychologists advise not to rush things and postpone this conversation for another case.
Normally, adolescent girls start menstruating at the age of 12-15. If your daughter is 10 years old or has no menstruation after 15 years, you need to see a doctor. The problem can be caused by a hormonal imbalance, or just your child is special.
