[quote=Anonymous]Start with Jr / small tampons if she’s even willing to try tampons. A health Ed teacher told us how the applicator works but beyond that I had to figure it out on my own when I was younger. My 13 year old (no period yet) is afraid of the idea of tampons but she’s a serious soccer player and I assume eventually that will be easier for her. Make sure she knows (another mom? Book?) that mucus is normal. I remember being so scared when that started for me (but I knew about periods.) Don’t forget other health / puberty things: figure out a way for her to go bra shopping and offer before she brings it up; (eventually encourage her to hang good bras when they’re washed); offer to get deodorant, and if she wants to remove hair offer razor or creams etc. My 13 year old’s hair became curly with puberty and she didn’t really know how to take care of it (nor did I) so we booked a session with a hairstylist to teach us. That was helpful too. [/quote]
