My DD is 10 and a half and showing all the signs of puberty. She smells (poor thing!), has underarm hair and her breasts are developing. I am presuming it won't be long til she starts her periods.
She has never been interested in this discussion apart from once when it started from a tampon advert and now I fear she doesn't know anything and will be unprepared. HELP how do I bring up the subject - have been waiting for it to be raised naturally for the last year and it hasn't happened and I'm sure time is running out. How have others done it?
