[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sit down with her. Say more than "Hey I changed your sheets" which is very confrontational and embarrassing for an adolescent and foster child and not warm and nurturing at all. Have a chat with her in which you explain menstruation, both how it works and how you plan for it, cope with it, and deal with it. Either do it as a mother/daughter or as "one of the girls." Give her a book (you may have already) so she can read on her own.[/quote] I obviously wasn't trying to be confrontational and embarrassing. I was trying to be quick, factual and painless (which is what I would have preferred as a teenager). I would have died if someone tried to have a buddy buddy conversation with me about my period. But I guess everyone is different.[/quote]
