My intro to periods...

My mom probably did the best she knew how to at the time. She gave me a (1970's) period information booklet. I believe I remember it vaguely referred to chickens/eggs and other such reproduction information. It wasn't very informative and I felt lost after reading it. Luckly, I challenged myself to learn more on my own. :)

Since I have a tween daughter who will be getting a period shortly, I took control and talked with her about the whole subject of sex and reproduction and made sure if she had any questions to come to me. I also purchased her a modern book called "The Period Book" can't remember the author's name, but it was a very effective teaching tool. I wanted her to feel comfortable with herself and have the knowledge I didn't.
