As it happens I think it might be a UTI rather than period. She has never let me talk to her about periods, I bought a book for her in yr6 which she hid, she refused to attend the puberty talk at school. I managed to explain what they were etc when she was around 10 but even then she had a meltdown about it and said she never wanted thrm to start etc. Now tonight she has wiped and seen a bit of pink and absolutely flipped. Hysterical crying, throwing things, asking me to make them stop etc. Then she said she had been struggling to go to the loo and only drips coming out so I reckon it's actually more likely to be an infection. (She has bad habit of not drinking enough fluids and never going to toilet at school.) However this was a wake up call and I need to help her prepare for when they do start. Please no lectures about I should have prepared her more before now - I tried, she just absolutely refused to listen or allow me to give her sruff to read.
