[quote=Anonymous]How to talk about periods with 2/3/4 year olds. Basically, just introduce the concept. We've already read "How Babies are Made" so there's that foundational knowledge or at least familiarity. When child sees a tampon or a pad (which are terribly fun to play with BTW, one puffs up in water and has a string; the other is a giant puffy sticker :)), you say, "That's a tampon/pad. Do you know what they're for?" (No.) "It's for when I menstruate. Most people call it getting your period, so it's when I get my period." And then explain. [/quote]
