YOUR FIRST PERIOD? HOW TO TELL YOUR GUARDIAN

Talking about your first period with your guardian can difficult. You might feel shy and nervous but this is normal. 

Look at the positive side. This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about becoming a woman. 

When having such conversations: 

  • Relax and keep the conversation casual. Try saying something like, "Mom, when you were younger, were you nervous about getting your period?" She will probably get the hint.
  • If it’s hard for you to have a conversation with your guardian, write down a note for them and leave it where they can find it; When your guardian finds it, he or she will find the time to start a conversation with you and you won't have to worry about bringing it up
  • Be direct and real with them.  Say it as it is.  Take a deep breath and say something like, “I need to talk to you about my first period."
