[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watched it with my two boys, 11 and 9. We liked it ok. They know about girls getting their periods but I think that scene sort of went over their heads. I do think that parents should be aware that the movie makes that very obvious in case they haven't had that talk with their daughters. I would imagine that many parents may be forced into a conversation before they were expecting to. But maybe it's a good introduction. I just wasn't expecting that from a Disney movie and didn't feel like it was necessary to include. I think the metaphor of the red panda was probably enough to get the point across.

And yes I think the one friend is supposed to have Downs Syndrome. I thought that was pretty apparent.[/quote]

Just FYI that the average age of menstruation for black and brown girls is 9. Been prepping my black daughter since age 7 as encouraged by her pediatrician.[/quote]

The average age of menstruation for black girls is about 12.2, about three months earlier than for white girls. There is not a huge discrepancy. An average of eight or nine for black girls would mean that some would start at age 7, which is just false.[/quote]
