My eldest daughter (10 years old) is maturing much faster than her peers (I can't quite believe it to be honest, feels like puberty is happening earlier and earlier). She's visibly noticing changes and asking me A LOT of questions, mostly around why she's getting hairy legs on not her friends, breast development etc. Of course I answer these in a way that I think is most appropriate to me.
I have had a very light chat with her about periods and I know school has given an intro too, but I wondered if anyone has come across any good resources to share for independent learning or got any experiences to share ?

@FionnulaTheCooler, I know it's wild isn't - growing up way tooooo fast 🙈 I love the supplies though, I will definitely be taking a drop this weekend to do the same I think! Has your school covered things in much detail or do you think the book is doing more? Would love to get your thoughts?

Erm I chose to make sure they were prepared before anything started happening so it wasn't a shock and it all has gone smoothly now there teens

But you don't know when it's going to start and 10 is young for puberty! On your logic you'd need to have everything explained and understood before 8yrs old.
