[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD started her period about a year after pubic hair started (and about 2ish years after breast buds).  She actually got her period while I was away on a business trip.  The American Girl books were awesome preparation.  She didn't freak out, she had all the supplies, and she just followed the instructions in the book.  She was 11 years 9 months.[/quote]

Mine was just barely 11, and got hers at sleepaway camp. At her checkup two months earlier, the doctor said she thought it was unlikely to happen in the next 6 months. So I'd given her some books, and helped her pack a little kit for camp just in case, and she handled it like a champ. Never even went to the nurse, even though I'd told her she should if it happened, even if it was just to get an advil for cramps.

She liked the AG book, and said the Hello Flo book was more helpful for practical tips, so she knew exactly what to do when it started. Somehow she even managed a tampon when they went swimming![/quote]

That's amazing (tampon)!  I remember the first time I tried to use one, my mom never used one so I didn't even bother to ask her, and I read the instructions that came in the box three times.  And still didn't do it correctly.  I walked around like a cowboy who'd ridden a horse all day.   :lol:   When I did finally figure it out, I thought oh wow, this is fantastic.  And now they come in a size specifically for just-starting girls, which is great.[/quote]
