This was a very well written piece--with great advice! What's of benefit today for many parents is that they can 'break the ice' with lovely little 'goodie' boxes/packs sold by female-owned businesses focused on welcoming young ladies to womanhood/puberty. Now that young ladies too are getting their periods as young as the age of 7, it is increasingly important for moms (and dads, since there are single dads out there...) to be as comfortable as possible in talking about life changes. Menstruation isn't something that should be avoided or 'hidden' any longer. It's a biological certainty for all women, so maybe, we should instead celebrate this milestone! :)
