to think that Year 7 (1st yr secondary school) is TOO LATE to give "the talk" about puberty?

Should this not take place in primary school? DD1 is 12, and I am pretty sure that most of her friends have already started their periods and are wearing bras. And a not insignificant number of them started their periods when they were 10.

I keep trying to get DP to read the 'what's happening to me' book, actually. He does know where babies come from but is not absolutely well-informed about female puberty, I suspect. One of four brothers.
