Well, really, I think 9 is a perfect time to talk about periods. I got mine at 11, b ut I do know a few girls who got theres at 10, so you are not far off, and some girls get it earlier. I remember being so frightened because I didnt know why I was bleeding. I thought I might be dying and was mortified so I didnt reveal to my mom for months of that. I just used toiletpaper. And ofcourse had an accident or two at school due to it and ended up being coompletely mortified. I wish someone had of talked to me abbout it because I was being abused by my dad in "that" way, and perhaps had I known more I would have known enough to tell someone sooner than I did, and stop it. Doesnt sound like thats even remotely your daughters case, but you never kknow right?

Good job Tishie.
