Re: How should girls be initially taught about
[QUOTE]
Someone mentioned above that girls by age 11 should know ===========> well not anymore!!!!
Just last week my 10 year old niece had her first period! Seriously. She will be 11 years old in August.

Ya I think 11 is too old, you dont want to put it off that late and then the poor kid gets it at 10 and freaks out thinking she is dying! I guess you have to check with your own kid, their maturity level etc, but I guess by 9, or 10 latest they should have at least some understanding, so that they are prepared in case it does happen, or in case their friends get it and start talking to them about it which can confuse them too. And definitely parents should explain everything properly so the kids dont have to rely on misinformation from peers
