BIG list!! wowzer...good luck girl!

in answer to your questions on my blog (i can't find an email for you)

i started talking about it when J came to me with questions. i took the advice of my mom and only answered her specific questions, the way she did w/ me and my 4 siblings. as you know, kids can get overwhelmed with too much info and i didn't want to scare her off. she was fine with the answer and sometimes had more questions. i think in the beginning she was just 'feeling' it out to see what response her questions would get. then of course they have the health video in the 5th and 6th grades. the parents have the opportunity to preview the video. i had seen the before (i work in education) so i decided to take Jordan with me to the preview. then we went for a picnic and she asked some questions. so we have always talked about it, well since she started asking.

American Girl has a book titled "The care and keeping of you". read it. you will know if your daughter is mature enough for the content...but it will most def get a conversation going.

hope this answers your questions.

my daughters friends all started menstruating at ages 10, 11 and 12. J just turned 13 in August. when i was a girl my friends and i all started between 15 and 17...is it the hormones in the milk? ;)
