[quote=Anonymous]I’m very excited to see it tomorrow. I was planning on just taking my 13 and 10 (almost 11) yo daughters but after suggesting that plan to my husband he said “I want to go, I never read the book but I feel like it’s something I should see, and ds saw a preview last weekend at the Mario movie and he was interested”, so dh and 8yo ds are coming too. I actually think it’s great to show boys and younger children what to “expect” with the beginning of puberty. 
Last year my younger dd came home from school and said that one of her classmates in 4th grade had gotten her period. I’m so glad we had already explained everything to dd so she was able to support her classmate in that situation (she asked her if she had any pads and when she didn’t she offered to accompany her to the school nurse or go get things from the nurse on her own because the girl was too freaked out to tell a teacher).
My older dd is finishing 8th grade but is one of the youngest in the grade and she felt like the last girl to get her period (she wasn’t), so she spent months agonizing about not developing. Once she did finally get it she understood why I (and her friends) had told her to “be careful what you wish for”.
I don’t actually remember much about reading “Margaret” when I was young but I know I did at some point. I reread it a few years ago when I got it for my girls to read and remembered a few moments. I think it’s a great universal story in so many ways. My own girls also have a Jewish dad and a Christian/non-religious mom so we’ve had many family conversations about faith and religious culture and how they can make decisions for themselves about what they believe.
