Brief history:
I have a 10 year old daughter that will be 11 this year. She is going thru some big changes/puberty. She lives with me full time so I am pretty much her Daddy & Mom. She does have a Mom, but ....... Anyway. She is going thru changes. We have read a book together & she asked some questions, which I think I answered pretty well. I bought her an electric razor for Christmas b/c she was getting self conscious about the hair on her lower legs. I didn't want her to go grabbing my razor in the shower & hack her self to death. I showed her how to use the razor & a few weeks ago she noticed pit hair (lol) so I helped her get rid of that too. I know that she is going to get her first period at some point. I really want her to be prepared for this event incase it happens in school. My questions are as follows:
1. What does she need to carry with her to be ready?
2. Is the first period really painful? will she start getting cramps before it happens? Any signs that I can have her be aware of?
Your help is greatly appreciated
