Menstruation
At what age should girls talk about menstruation?
Children should have information about menstruation by about age 9-12. Information about periods might be provided in school — and instructional books can be very helpful. Many moms share their own personal experiences with their children, including when their periods first started and what it felt like. According to WHO, having a trusted adult in whom children feel comfortable asking questions about reproductive health is really crucial. Parents should tell the child that being curious and having questions about one's body is very normal and healthy.
