Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 My daughter started her period yesterday. i was a little overwhelm. When I started telling her what she had to do ,she began to laugh. She seem not to be upset by any of it. the blood, pads nothing.She seem to understand everything i told her .I need some feedback from the group on how some of your girls handle this. christina is ten and has very limited speech. She uses sign and pecs to communicate more than words. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 i dread when my christine gets her period! i wish there was some way to avoid it! maybe it would be worth putting her on birth control pills just so we know how long it will be and when exactly it will start, but then that would cause other problems maybe with just being on the pill.... as completely stressed as i am right now with all of the issues we deal with on a daily basis i just completely (cant think of a word strong enough to use) DREAD her starting her period! right now i am just soooo tired! i feel like ive been whipped and run over by a truck! and yeah, feeling sorry for myself... it happens every once in a while! wondering what it would be like not having to fight over absolutely everything... i am tired.... need another nap. everything will be better when i wake up.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Debbie my daughter is mild Aspergers and ADHD with multiple LD issues but she is taking to the monthly things very negative and is much want of to trun into a boy now. she has the care and keeping of you book she hides it under her bed. the school gave us a video created for young girls on the topic and missy watched of it but no real questions or thinking on it. She has been dressing much like of tom boy lately I to not discourage it as I to feel she to have right to explore things but also reward and give much verbal responses to her when she demonstrates her feminine side such as to want a doll or a dress or such things. but I to no tbe of negative to her when she wants of a boy thing I to not just praise it .

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Congrats to you and your daughter. It's a shame it had to start so early, but your daughter seems to be handeling it more than you thought she would. Same thing with my daughter...I thought she'd freak out because in the past she's get hysterical if she had a bloody nose. And as I went through very early menopause, I only had 1 or 2 occasions that I could show her that it happened to me and that it didn't hurt or scare me. As for the PEC system, I'm sure her teacher could make some up to help prepare her for the next time it will happen. I also mark it on the calendar so that knows when it will come. became very regular shortly after her 2nd cycle. Relax...remember our girls sense when we are upset. If you relax and act like this is a normal part of her daily routine, hopefully things will continue to go smoothly.
