Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 Since we are on this topic, first off........ our pulmo firmly believes that many illnesses pop up during hormone bursts,esp in girls. She told me after the boys were dx'd that if they girls made it thru 6-9. .......GREAT!! there was a lesser chance for them to develop asthma. then we would have to watch them from 12-15. Both girls did end up developing asthma during the first (6-9) and Savannahs CVID cropped up at that time as well. My niece, her epilepsy started at age 8, and my sister was told the same thing, and so did my nephews. So I think there is something to that theory. and now...... the question everyone dreads about puberty... when did you guys start talking to your daughters about periods and ....and............ahem.........um...........that other thing that parents do in order to procreate? My girls are 10 and 9.........I WANT to have a closer, more open relationship with my girls than my parents did with me about these matters.........but its so hard to talk about it with a cantaloupe in the center of my throat:) and it seems like it will take away some innocence........I know they wont be little forever..............but I hate that!! I know a few of the little girls Olivias age at school have already started, so we need to have this convo.......its just so HARD!! and also............ once they KNOW........DH and I can never take " naps " again LOL hes a third shifter:) I know this board isnt intended for this......but I know many of you have teen girls, and with the puberty thread, it seemed like a good time to bring it up........ thanks valarie Quote
