Yesterday my granddaughter started her period, 29 days after her 11th birthday. She did know what to expect (if you can at 11!) but it was obvious it was a shock to her. She is a twin and her sister was oblivious yesterday even though she was really subdued and unlike her usual self.
My other daughter, her aunty and I were not supposed to know as she’d told Mum not to say anything so it was awful not to be able to acknowledge it and try and help her. I feel it’s such bad timing as she is returning to school tomorrow as she’s year 6. I know it’s a normal thing to happen but I can’t get her little pale face out of my mind. Am I being daft? She seems so young. I was 11and three quarters starting mine , her mum was 12 and aunty still 10 by two days and says she remembers being upset it had happened although I prepared her well too. Sorry I think things just seem worse at the moment and just wanted some thoughts.
