my sons in year 4, and we had a sex education evening the other night, and there were 3 other mothers there, whose daughters have also already started there periods at the same age as your daughter, so its getting more common. I think there getting younger all the time and growing up alot faster than our generation. Was she ok? did she know what it was? ↑ |
my little sister is 8 and started hers the other day. ↑ |
I have seen this happen to young girls who are somewhat over weight or not very active. ↑ |
It just means your daughter matures faster. Its nothing normal, no, but it isnt like you say "unheard of".
She'll probly get boobs faster and stuff so watch for that. ↑ |
i was 8. in 3rd grade. i felt diffrent in a bad way. mine was regular i got used to it ↑ |
I am not sure I will be of much help, but I was nine when I started. ↑ |
I was menstruating at 4. ↑ |
i was 10 when i started and it was kinda normal . . . But my friend started at 15 =O ↑ |
yeahh hi im a teen now and i got mine at the age of 8 so i really think that you should just do what you would normally do with teens and just leave her be. I also think you shouldnt get to over the top about it at partys and that because if her friends see a bag of pads/tampons there gonna start embarrasing her ↑ |
I started at 9 and my daughter started at 8. The doctors said there was no cause for concern. Her first year was sperratic but she was developing before her friends which made her feel out of place. Keep the comnunication lines open. At that age they really don't understand what changes are comming or how to deal with them. ↑ |
