[quote=Anonymous]I have a 10 year old and have been grappling with this issue also. I did get the American Girl book and had her read it around 9 and asked do you want to talk and it was an adamant no. But then she asked me a couple of weeks ago when she will get a period as several girls in her class have them. I told her I did not know that there was this magic point where her body had the right composition of fat, growth and development and she would have it. While it is medically correct that the BMI influences when she will get it, it was a total mistake to mention it as she immediately started to try and diet. I also do not have a period as a result of having an IUD and I wonder if it is scarier for that fact. I just remember it being discussed in my 4th grade life skills class. [/quote]
