ABOUT

Ok, so it might be uncharted territory for you, navigating hormones, mood swings, irritability, and body changes. It may be a while since you experienced all of this and the world has changed since then but together we've got this! Here us all the information you need to navigate your Daughter's first Period and Puberty.
○Reassure your Daughter that puberty and periods are normal
While some girls see "teen" changes as an exciting phase in growing up, many wonder if what they're experiencing is normal, especially if they're the first or last in their class to spot the signs of puberty. Our first tip is to reassure and remind your Daughter that she is one of a kind and will experience the signs of her first Period and other changes at different times from her friends. 
Puberty for mist girls begins around 11 or 12 but can start as early as 8 or as late as 18. The first signs might be breast development, and hair growing under the arms and between the legs, but it might still be a couple of years until her _first Period_ arrives. Because your Daughter is unique, it's impossible to predict when she'll start seeing signs of puberty so use this time to prepare. Make sure your questions are answered so you can provide information, guidance and the reassurance she needs when she's ready to talk about her period.
Signs your Daughter might start her first Period.
These are the most common signs that your Daughter is hitting puberty and may have her first Period soon

♡ Breast development
The most common first sign of change, breast can start developing two years before her first Period. She may start to feel self-conscious and be wondering when and if she needs to wear a bra but might be too embarrassed to ask. Why not try giving some guidance and offering to take her shopping for her first bra fitting? Don't be disappointed or surprised if she declines though, she might need more time so try again in a few months.
♡Discharge in underwear
This is something lots of teens ask about, so we know it's a common concern. Discharge is one of the clearest signs that a period us about to start. It's completely normal for discharge to vary in colour throughout the month from clear to creamy yellow. 
Just be there for her and explain that it's normal. After all she needs your support. Remember, Reassurance is important
♡ Changes in body shape and size
Weight and the worry about weight gain can be part and parcel of puberty. Hips may become wider and the tummy a little rounder, but it's important your Daughter knows these changes are a sign that she's normal and healthy so should be celebrated. 
Puberty is such a busy time for the body, it us vital your teen eats a healthy diet.  Perhaps consider increasing mealtime portions, if she feels the need to snack a lot between meals.
♡ Public and underarm hair
It's only natural that sprouting body hair might make your Daughter self-conscious. She might want to remove it ASAP. we hear from girls as young as 10 wanting to know how to remove hair from their legs, underarms and pubic area! So, if you find your Daughter is one of them, the decision about whether she removes any hair must be yours. If you say no, perhaps suggest discussing it again in six months time, rather than closing the door on the subject altogether.
♡Noticeable mood swings
Can you remember your pubescent years? Happy one minute, angry, frustrated and tearful the next! The teenage years can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and while it's a strain on her, both physically and mentally, it can be hard on the close by too. 
But it's good to talk, so why not wait until things gave calmed and then let her know you understand what she's going through and offer to listen when she wants to talk?
♡ Stomach, lower back and groin cramps
One of the most common signs of puberty is experiencing cramps in the stomach, lower back and groin. 
Stomach cramps, also known as menstrual cramps are caused by the uterus contracting to shed it's lining. These cramps can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by bloating, nausea or diarrhoea. It's important to talk to your Daughter about ways to manage menstrual cramps, such as taking pain relievers, using a heating pad, or practising relaxation techniques.
